7x14 Monet Pro Versailles Canvas 1-1/2" Deep #ML-0714

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 7x14 Size

An intriguing Domino size!

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.

Monet™ Pro 1.5" Deep Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• Produces a 1.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. ♦ Mark Twain

Mark Twain, a master of wit and wisdom, had an uncanny ability to capture profound truths in deceptively simple words. His point is that inner tenacity trumps outward appearance or presumed strength. Twain's own life, characterized by bouts of financial struggles, personal losses, and even bouts of self-doubt, showcased his ability to persevere through the fiercest storms. His unyielding spirit echoed the sentiment of his words: it was never about the challenges that stood before him, but the resilient determination within him.

Similarly, in the world of art, it's not always the grandeur of the work or the prestige of the artist that leaves a lasting impression. It's the passion, the commitment, and the soul poured into every creation. Often, the most impactful pieces stem from a place of deep emotion and unwavering determination. Twain's insight encourages us to recognize and value the fire within, to understand that our potential is not defined by external measures but by the passion that fuels our endeavors. With that inner fire, we have the power to create, inspire, and defy the odds, regardless of the challenges we face.
