When necessary we digitally enhance the colours from the original, sometimes to restore them back to their former glory and other times to leave you with a print that pops with colour. Certain images will also be cropped and resized to fit their intended media. If you require your print to resemble the original as closely as possible then we would be more than happy to oblige. Contact our team via sales@smartfurnish.co.uk who will provide you with sample images of the original before you place your order.

 

ABOUT THE ART

Painting:
First Steps, after Millet

Artist:
Vincent van Gogh

Date:
1890

In fall and winter 1889?90, while a voluntary patient at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted twenty-one copies after Millet, an artist he greatly admired. He considered his copies "translations" akin to a musician's interpretation of a composer's work. He let the black-and-white images whether prints, reproductions, or, as here, a photograph that his brother, Theo, had sent pose "as a subject," then he would "improvise colour on it." For this work of January 1890, Van Gogh squared-up a photograph of Millet's First Steps and transferred it to the canvas.
