The Monarch of the Glen

As The Monarch of the Glen, Sir Edwin Landseer’s iconic oil painting of a red deer stag has been in the news lately, we were reminded of a reproduction commission of ours from a few years back.

The original has recently been put back up for auction for the first time in 100 years, which put it at risk of being taken overseas. However, the owners agreed a deal with the National Galleries of Scotland who now have to raise the remaining £4million to keep it on display and bring it into public ownership for the first time.

We had this painting commissioned by a Scottish customer who wanted a reproduction of the 1851 painting in their home.

Although the original was framed in a traditionally ornate gold frame, the customer chose something a little more contemporary from the Larson Juhl Prague collection. Our qualified framers hand stretched the painting and made the custom frame to fit, and we were very happy with the finished result!
