Seascape with Full Moon represents a pinnacle of late 18th-century printmaking, executed by printmaker Cornelis Brouwer and editor Cornelis Ploos van Amstel after the celebrated Dutch Golden Age marine painter Ludolf Backhuysen. Originally engraved in 1779 and published in 1781, this Classical-era masterpiece captures the dramatic interplay of moonlight and turbulent waters with exceptional tonal precision. The work reflects the Dutch mastery of maritime atmosphere, translating Backhuysen's painterly chiaroscuro into a sophisticated graphic medium. Each archival reproduction is meticulously rendered to preserve the delicate aquatint and etching details of the original plate. Every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in its historic, uncropped proportions, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation suitable for architectural interiors.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
