The Window 1916 — Fine Art

The Window 1916 by Henri Matisse holds a view through a window with colour sitting against a pale ground. Bright greens and a soft blue line the opening and sit apart from the darker tones around them. The eye reads the glass and the wall behind it in a clear order.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The white frame gives the picture a clean edge on the wall and separates the scene from the plaster behind it. A dark wood frame sets the window tones against a deeper surround and keeps the edges firm.

It suits a plain bedroom wall placed above a low bed. Morning light from a side window hits the glass and brightens the green. From across the room the window shape stays clear and the frame edge stays quiet.
