Curated
Gallery sets
Nobody struggles to find art. They struggle to decide what goes on the wall, and how big. So we did the deciding.
Each set below is matched by proportion as well as by subject, which means the pieces take the same frame size and hang in a clean row or block — no measuring, no awkward gaps, no piece sitting two inches too low. Pick a size and add the whole set to your cart in one click.
Rough Water
Four paintings of people in water that does not care about them. Homer painted the two American ones within four years of each other; Hokusai's wave was already seventy years old and famous when he did; and Leutze put Washington in a boat full of ice seventy-five years after the night in question. All four are the same shape, so they hang as a row of four or any three of them.
Van Gogh
The self-portrait from Paris, and two from the asylum garden at Saint-Rémy in the last year of his life. Same hand, three years apart, and you can watch the colour get braver.
The Masters
Vermeer's morning light, El Greco's storm over Toledo, and Gauguin's Tahiti. Three centuries and three continents apart, and every one of them a painter showing off about colour.
Summer Light
August wheat, a boat on the Seine, and Venice half-dissolved into haze. The warmest three in the collection — hang them somewhere the afternoon sun already reaches and they glow.
The Studio
Two Degas rehearsal rooms and a Rembrandt study. Nobody in any of them is performing — they are waiting, stretching, thinking. Quiet pictures for a room you work in.
Pairs
Matched on subject rather than size — hang them as a conversation, not as a matched row.
Standing Portraits
Sargent travelled to Madrid in 1879 to copy Velázquez, and you can see exactly what he took: the flat black mass of the figure, the plain ground behind it, the refusal to decorate. Two full-length portraits, two hundred and sixty years apart. Different proportions, so they are a pairing of subject rather than of size.
