Held by The Art Institute of Chicago and released as Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0). It hangs here as a reference for a hand: paint your own line and the painters copy its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.
A print of the scan itself, up to 20 × 30 inches from these 3,000 × 2,251 pixels. Nothing larger, because it would arrive soft.
- What a seed does
- The painting is the instruction. The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, is the only subject.
- The credit
- Every painting seeded from it carries “after Claude Monet (1840–1926), Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare, The Art Institute of Chicago” on its plaque, and on the share page.
- The licence
- Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0), as the museum states it. The scan is served with that credit in its headers, and it is never upscaled.
