Materials & printing
Archival matte paper, 189 g/m² (10.3 mil), sourced from Japan, printed with multicolor water-based inkjet so every brushstroke stays crisp. Framed prints arrive ready to hang in a .75″ ayous-wood frame with an acrylite front. Sized to standard frames by cropping, never stretching — at most about 3% comes off one edge, which isn’t noticeable on most pieces, and we only offer a size when it stays that small.
Shipping & returns
Made to order and delivered in 5–8 business days (2–4 to print, 3–4 in transit). US shipping only for now. Because each print is made for your order, all sales are final — but if it arrives damaged or defective, send us a photo within 14 days and we’ll replace it free. Full policy.
Why is it this affordable?
A thin, flat margin on every piece — just enough to keep the store running. Most of what you pay is the print itself. We only sell sizes that reproduce at full quality, and we don’t mark up the large sizes the way most shops do.
About this work
Jan Both here offered an inroad to the verdant Roman countryside. The path, populated with rustic figures and livestock, winds through rolling hills toward a serene harbor below. Hazy yellow light, perhaps that of the sunrise, glows atop distant periwinkle mountains.
Both spent several years in Rome with a group of Dutch and Flemish artists called the Bentvueghels (a Dutch term for “birds of a feather”). On his return to Utrecht, he helped pioneer the “Italianate” landscape, presenting the fantasy of a golden-lit, arcadian countryside to a population more familiar with the flat, boggy Netherlands and its cooler light and climate.
