Blue and Silver, Chelsea ☱ Whistler ☱ Art Print

Blue and Silver, Chelsea

Nocturne: Blue and Silver, Chelsea (1871) by James McNeill Whistler is a view from Battersea Bridge looking across the Thames towards Chelsea. The tower of Chelsea Old Church is visible on the right, and a fisherman stands in the foreground. This is the first of his series of Nocturnes, paintings intended to convey the beauty and tranquillity of the River Thames. The influence of Japanese woodblock prints is evident from the limited range of colors and the butterfly signature. Whistler drew inspiration from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" by Hiroshige.

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.

Giclée Prints

Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.

Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
