Description
'The Blue Fan' by artist Francis Cadell. This colourful giclee print has a cotton core mount in a handmade and hand-finished sustainably sourced solid ash wood frame. Made in the UK by museum specialists and printed on heavyweight, matt-smooth fine art paper, it's ready to hang on your wall. Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell studied in Paris and lived in Munich before settling in his native Edinburgh around 1909. Cadell's pre-war work is influenced by the Impressionists. From around 1920, his work became brighter and bolder. Cadell painted a series of colourful still lifes, which caused some controversy when first exhibited. He employed a limited stock of objects in his still lives, typically with a steeply banked perspective and a decorative sense of pattern in his work of the early 1920s. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece because of its bold colours and modern take on classic still life. It works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors, adding a splash of vibrancy without overwhelming the space. To style it effectively, consider pairing with other colourful accents or placing it against neutral walls to make the colours pop. It’s versatile enough to hang above a sofa or a sideboard, and works well with minimalist frames or contrasting darker ones for more impact. For a cohesive look, keep surrounding decor simple and let the print do the talking.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
