A Picos de Europa poster from the flowery slope above the water: a turquoise lake lying in a bowl of green pasture, grey limestone peaks stacked behind it with snow still in the gullies, and cattle grazing on the meadow in the middle distance.
About the artwork
It is built in four steps back into the picture. First the meadow, drawn close and loose — white daisies, yellow and red flower heads, seed grasses, a few pale boulders sitting in the turf. Then the valley floor, a broad sheet of green cut with a thin footpath and dotted with brown and black cattle. Then the lake, an irregular turquoise shape shading to deep jade at its far end, held between two low rocky spurs. Behind it the mountains: bare limestone in dove grey, mauve and warm buff, drawn as flat angled planes so the light reads clearly on each face, with a tall fluted peak on the right and older, softer ridges to the left carrying the last of the snow. The sky is a clean gradient of pale blue. Title in wide-tracked uppercase with Spain beneath. Portrait, 2:3.
Why you'll love it
- Wildflowers in the foreground. The near meadow is drawn in detail, so the print holds up at close range.
- Green and turquoise together. Two strong colours doing different jobs, with grey rock keeping the peace.
- Real mountain structure. The limestone is drawn as planes and faces, not a generic blue triangle.
- Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.
Sizes and materials
- Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Nine sizes from 8" x 12" to 30" x 40", plus A4–A1 for European frames.
- Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang.
- Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
- Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.
Styling it at home
Green enough to act like a plant on a wall, so it works in a living room, a study or anywhere short of daylight. It sits well on warm white, oatmeal and clay walls, and against deep green paint the lake becomes the focal point. Pair it with oak, wool, stone and matte black metal. A natural oak frame keeps it soft; black frames give the peaks more edge. It groups well with the alpine prints in the collection for a mountain wall.
Shipping and care
Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.
Questions people ask
What size should I get? Above a console or desk, 12" x 18" or 16" x 24". Above a sofa, bed or mantel, go 24" x 36" or larger so the print holds the wall.
Does it come framed? Paper prints ship unframed and fit standard frames. Choose a framed canvas if you would rather skip the framing shop.
What is the lake in the middle? One of the glacial mountain lakes in the high pastures of the national park, shown in early summer with cattle grazing the meadows around it.
Print & materials
Every design is made to order on one of three materials:
- Fine art paper — thick archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks. The choice if you already own a frame.
- Matte canvas — gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box. No glass, no glare.
- Framed canvas in white, black, espresso or natural wood — a slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted. Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms; white and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
Sizes run from 8 x 12 inches up to large statement pieces, plus A4, A3, A2 and A1 for standard European frames. The exact sizes available for this design are listed in the Size menu above.
Production & shipping
Nothing is printed until you order, so each piece is made for you.
- Printed and finished in 3–5 business days.
- Delivery a further 4–8 business days — about 7–13 days in total.
- Free shipping across the United States. Everywhere else is a flat $5 per order.
Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Canvas and framed canvas are boxed with corner guards.
Damage, defects & care
Every piece is printed for you after you order, so we cannot take a print back for a change of mind — please check the size and material first. Our Size Guide shows every size drawn to scale.
If it arrives damaged, misprinted or simply wrong, email us within 14 days with photos of the piece and the packaging. We reprint and reship it free, and there is nothing to send back.
Keep artwork out of direct sunlight. Wipe framed canvas with a dry, soft cloth. Handle paper prints by the edges until they are framed.

Materials
Three ways to print it.
Same artwork, same colour-managed printing — the material decides how it hangs and how much wall it holds.
Fine art paper
Thick archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks.
- The most affordable option, and the one to pick if you already own a frame.
- Reads slightly softer than canvas.
- Ships rolled in a rigid tube.
Matte canvas
Gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box.
- No glass, so no glare — good for bright rooms.
- Holds a touch more contrast than paper.
- Boxed with corner guards.
Framed canvas
A slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted, in white, black, espresso or natural wood.
- Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms.
- White and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
- The usual choice for a feature wall — nothing to assemble.
