Grand Canyon — Fine Art

Grand Canyon by Maxfield Parrish shows the deep gorge with layered rock walls and a wide sky. The colours run from warm reds in the stone to cool blues overhead. The scene looks steady and open, with sharp lines along the cliff faces.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. A light frame on a dark wall lets the warm rock tones stand out without glare. A dark frame on a pale wall does the same for the blue sky. The matte surface holds the reds and blues so the light stays even when a lamp sits nearby.

In a study, the print hangs on the side wall above a desk. From the chair you see the broad rock layers first, and the small lines in the stone come into view when you lean in.
