This London architecture canvas print features the Millennium Bridge as well as a view of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. I love this pairing of architecture because they share something in common aside from their proximity. Sir Christopher Wren's choice of a dome was controversial when it was rebuilt following the fire of 1666. Similarly, in our time the quite modern design of the Millennium Bridge was controversial. I love that London is a city that is still pushing the boundaries all these centuries later!
This canvas art of the Millennium Bridge from the south bank of the Thames River is based on an afternoon during one of my trips to London. I loved the mix of lighting with the clouds forming shadows on the cityscape below as well as reflecting light across the water. The skies in England can be really dynamic and eye catching, can't they? The clouds almost feel like a physical thing that could be scooped up from the top of the cathedral dome. The lighting combined with the clouds themselves really combine with the architecture of the Millennium Bridge for a dramatic image.

Canvas Prints - Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a great choice for decorating your home or office. Canvas art is a classic choice that is at home in traditional and modern decor alike.
After the purchase of your canvas print, it is made to your order. The artwork is printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas. The use of archival inks and substrate means that your canvas art print should last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
When ordering your print, you have a choice between glossy and matte finishes. While I ordinarily love matte finishes on prints, I do like the sheen that comes on glossy canvas prints. Ultimately I would suggest letting the amount of light in your space guide your choice. In a brightly lit environment, I would lean towards a matte finish to reduce the chance of glare.
There are three wrap styles to choose from for canvas prints. The mirrored wrap choice mirrors and extends the image to the sides of the canvas wrap (without losing any of the original artwork on the front). The majority of the time I would suggest this is the best choice. The other two options are a solid black wrap or white wrap. You can see a preview of each option when selecting wrap color.
After printing, the canvas is stretched over and secured to a wooden frame of 1.5" by 1.5" stretcher bars. The entire production process takes from 10 to 15 business days. Your artwork will arrive in sturdy packaging. The hanging wire will be attached and all hardware necessary to hang your canvas print will be included. Canvas prints are a great ready-to-hang option.
