Barges on the River Scheldt 1892 — Fine Art

Barges on the River Scheldt 1892 shows boats moored on a wide river under a pale sky. The water holds cool greys and greens that sit against the darker hulls. Theo van Rysselberghe painted the scene with short brush strokes that break the surface into many small patches of tone.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang with a metal hanger fixed to the back. The metal strip fits onto a nail or screw and holds the print straight on the wall. The matte paper keeps the soft water tones smooth and stops any shine from a room light.

It works above the kitchen sink where the morning light hits the water tones early. From the breakfast table you see the river line and the dark boats first, then the small brush marks when you stand near the counter.
