The ticket

Camp Fire is a painting by Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836–1910 Prouts Neck, Maine), dated 1880. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 23 3/4 x 38 1/8 in. (60.3 x 96.8 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its The American Wing collection — Gift of Josephine Pomeroy Hendrick, in the name of Henry Keney Pomeroy, 1927.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,801 × 2,368 pixels — 9 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.7 × 7.9 in. The painting itself measures about 38.1 × 23.7 in, so a true life-size print runs below 300 dpi — still sharp at normal viewing distance.Paintings reproduce best on matte paper. Gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for, and a picture light does more for a print than any upgrade in paper.

The complete order

Put this work on your wall

Pick a size, then order the art, its matching frame and the finishing gear. If this work has no ready-made print, download the free file and upload it to the linked custom printer.

Print and frame use the same outside size. Preview the image placement before buying.

A mat needs a smaller print and a custom opening. We'll recalculate both below. Check the frame's actual opening before cutting.

The light width follows your frame size.
