Fishermen at Sea
Archival art print of antique oil painting depicting a fishing boat caught in a churning sea. Artist: Henry Ossawa Tanner. c. 1913. Oil on canvas.
The most distinguished African-American artist of the nineteenth century, Henry Ossawa Tanner was also the first Black U.S. artist to achieve international acclaim.
In this painting, Tanner depicted a passage described in the book of Matthew: “But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.” The surging sea pushes the boat to an almost vertical position, revealing the fishermen that Tanner rendered as dabs of paint.

Why Archival Mounted?
I mostly choose our Archival Mounted printing option for my own use, and here's why.
First, the firm backing means the print can be framed without glass, avoiding bothersome glares! This is especially important for taking photos. Your mounted prints will be ready for Instagram.
Second, mounted prints don't need a frame at all. As long as they have something to lean on—a shelf, a stack of books, a windowsill—they're fine on their own. This lets you move your prints around your house, and easily swap them in and out!
