The colors of this Monet reproduction are not nearly as "lively" in person as they are represented online.  I had intended to use this with another Monet print that was ordered at the same time, "Lavendar Fields", but it was so much more subdued that I will probably use it in another room.  It was actually disappointing, but because it is a lot of trouble to send back and it will probably go OK in the other room, I decided to just keep it.  As other people mentioned in their reviews, it would be much more attractive if the painting itself had wrapped around the internal framing instead of having all sides black.  While it could be hung as it is, for that reason, it would look much better surrounded by a picture frame.
