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.

The size chart

How big can you print it?

Worked out from the free 7,376 × 7,401 px file. Standard frame sizes, turned to match the painting. "Crops" is how much of the picture you lose filling that frame edge to edge — or keep it all and let a mat take up the difference. Poster-sharp to 49.2 × 49.3 in at 150 dpi.

The story

Klimt used actual gold leaf. No four-colour print will ever reproduce that, so stop trying — the goal is to get a version where the gold reads as warm metal rather than flat yellow.

That means looking for a print on textured or slightly toned paper, or a canvas reproduction, and avoiding anything shiny. Glossy plus gold equals a hotel lobby in 2004.

It is the one piece on this board that genuinely improves a bedroom. Use it there and stop overthinking it.

What it pairs with

Warm light, a thin brass frame, and a bedroom that has given up on minimalism.

Buying notes

  • Matte paper usually cuts glare in a bright room. If you prefer a glossy finish, check it under the light where you plan to hang it.
  • Compare sizes against your wall before ordering. The wall fitterhelps you see whether a larger frame works.
  • Try a centre around 57 inches from the floor, then adjust for furniture and sight lines.
  • A mat can give a smaller print breathing room; check the opening size before buying.
