Description
70 × 50 cm | Acrylic on canvas
"STAG AT FIRST LIGHT" is an intensely dramatic acrylic portrait that captures the silent, regal authority of the Red Deer stag. For Learry, this piece is an exploration into the vulnerability and ancient strength inherent in wildlife, captured in the fleeting moment between night and day.
Learry created this painting using the compositional principles and deep mood of the 19th-century naturalist painting style, echoing masters like Audubon and Traviès. The work is a study in low-contrast chiaroscuro, where the stag's monumental antlers and wise gaze emerge from a backdrop of ancient, mist-shrouded forest. The use of modern acrylics allows Learry to achieve a crisp, durable finish while still conveying a profound sense of antiquity.
Measuring 70 x 50 cm, this original acrylic painting is a one-of-a-kind piece. Dominant colors—muted burnt sienna, deep forest blue, and soft mauves—are applied with visible brushwork that intentionally mimics the weathered surface of an old masterwork. Signed by Learry, this painting is an invitation to pause, breathe the cold dawn air, and stand witness to the quiet majesty of the wild.
In addition to the original, only 10 limited edition signed, museum-quality prints, faithfully reproducing the visible brushwork and canvas grain, will ever be created. Once sold, no further reproductions of that format will be made.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your valued acrylic artwork, proper care is essential. Display your painting away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes, which can cause subtle fading or structural stress over time. Since dried acrylic is slightly soft, it can attract and hold dust; gently clean the surface with a soft, clean cloth (like microfiber) or a feather duster, being careful not to rub hard. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning; simple distilled water is often enough for spot cleaning, especially if the artwork has been protected with a professional final varnish. When handling, try to only touch the edges, as the oils from your skin can transfer to the surface.
Design
Our dedication to excellence extends far beyond the materials we select; it encompasses the precision, heart, and craftsmanship illustrated in every piece we create. Each original painting is the culmination of meticulous study, careful composition, and a commitment to detail, ensuring every work is not just made, but masterfully designed.
