William Turner (29 November 1789 – 7 August 1862) was an English painter who specialised in watercolour landscapes. He was a contemporary of the more famous artist J. Turner and his style was not dissimilar. He is often known as William Turner of Oxford or just Turner of Oxford to distinguish him from his better known namesake. Many of Turner's paintings depicted the countryside around. By 1861 the Stuarts were living in Bath Road and William was described as a proprietor of houses, so it is possible that he had sold out to the Trebles. Anyway, by 1851 John Treble (born c.1816 Devon) had a drapery business at Numbers 408 and 409 Oxford Street, in the West End of London, and employed five live-in assistants.

The artist/creator signs each print, vouching for its authenticity and, in turn, inaugurates its provenance. Where should you hang an art print?There are no hard and fast rules. You can hang your art wherever you like.

There are certain soft rules about how to hang an art print. For example, always hang your art 57 inches on center. This is a gallery technique that optimizes the average eye height, the sweet-spot view. 57 inches on center means that the artworks center is 57 inches above the floor, so your hook or hanging hardware must be even higher.Also, to achieve a balanced layout when hanging arrangements, hang your heavier or larger pieces on the left and your lighter or smaller frames in the center and to the right. This mimics the Western eyes tendency to interpret information from left to right and, according to experts, compels the viewers eye to flow without interruption.

Stretching isnt absolutely necessary, and, luckily, pre-stretching is so standard that most prints are stretched before they get to you.Users browsing for Art Prints usually look at:.
