10x20 Hardcore Pro Versailles Plein Air Canvas Panel #HL-1020

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 10x20 Size

10x20 is one of our popular Domino 2:1 sizes.

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

Our Hardcore™ Pro Pro Canvas Panels are the flattest on the market. They are made using MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is the highest quality engineered wood board on the market. Moisture in the board can cause undesirable results to the panel and your artwork, which is why we size the board with four layers on the front before the canvas is mounted, thereby defending against moisture getting into the board and underneath your artwork.

Canvas Panels should be as flat as possible, otherwise, they don't display well in a frame, and can create spaces between the artwork and the frame. A bowed panel is also a sign of having been impacted by the effect of moisture. Canvas can shrink, even after it is mounted on the board. For this reason, Masterpiece® developed a unique proprietary process that stress-relieves each panel, thereby virtually eliminating the bow that is commonly found in competing panel products. Hardcore™ Pro Canvas Panels provide a stable foundation for your art.

The mission of true art is, by its illusions, to foreshadow a higher universe reality, to crystallize the emotions of time into the thought of eternity. ♦ George Inness

George Inness, with his profound insight into the world of art, encapsulates the essence of artistic creation as a bridge between the tangible and the transcendent. His masterpieces, characterized by their atmospheric landscapes, not only depicted scenes but also evoked the ethereal—a realm beyond the mere representation of nature.

Artists tap into the vast expanse of human emotions and experiences. The canvas, the marble, the notes—they are but mediums through which we attempt to capture the fleeting and give it permanence. The beauty lies in how, through our creations, we give voice to the intangible, weaving emotions and memories into a tapestry that speaks of both the now and the forever. Inness reminds us that as artists, we have the power and responsibility to not just mirror reality, but to elevate it, giving our audience a glimpse of the infinite amidst the finite.
