John Duncan Print Sizes Beyond the Standard Large Format

The 70x100 cm edition is the ceiling of the current range. Here is what that means in practice, and how to make a large wall read bigger without a larger print.

The short answer

No. At present, 70x100 cm is the largest John Duncan print size in the catalogue, for both framed poster and canvas editions. Nothing larger is offered, and there is no custom or extended size option. If your wall needs more presence, placement, framing choice and pairing matter more than raw dimensions.

What the catalogue actually offers

The short answer is no. John Duncan print sizes currently top out at 70x100 cm. That applies across the range, including the Seascape. Sunset editions and the Loch Coruisk and The Cuillins from Elgol editions, in both framed poster and canvas form. There is no 90x120, no panoramic run, and no made-to-measure service behind the scenes. If a listing shows 70x100, that is the end of the ladder.

This is worth knowing before you plan a wall around a print that does not exist. A 70x100 cm canvas is a genuinely large object, roughly the width of a two-seat sofa, and it holds a wall on its own in most rooms. the canvas edition of Seascape. Sunset at full size will read as a statement piece without any help. The framed poster version carries a smaller visual footprint because the frame adds structure but the glass face sits flatter against the wall.

How to get more impact from 70x100

Since a larger size is off the table, scale has to come from arrangement. A single 70x100 canvas hung with its centre at eye level, around 145 cm from the floor, reads larger than the same print floated high above furniture. On a wall wider than three metres, one print will look adrift no matter its dimensions. Pairing two editions side by side solves this honestly.

Two Loch Coruisk canvases hung as a pair, for instance, give you the width of an oversized single work while keeping a clean gap of air between them. Loch Coruisk on canvas suits this because the composition is horizontal and tolerates a neighbour. the framed poster version works the same way in a pair if budget is the constraint. where to buy a John Duncan print for a living room covers placement in more detail.

Making 70x100 read larger

Hang the centre of the print at roughly 145 cm from the floor
Pair two editions with a 5 to 8 cm gap between frames
Keep surrounding furniture low so the print owns the vertical
Choose canvas over framed poster when you want the deepest visual field

Why no custom sizes exist

Extended size options are a common request and a fair one, but they are not part of how these editions are produced. Each work is reproduced at fixed dimensions that have been chosen to suit the composition, and the catalogue reflects those decisions rather than open-ended scaling. Stretching a painting to an arbitrary size tends to harm it. Duncan's seascapes and Highland views depend on proportion, and a crop or stretch shows.

The practical consequence is simple. Buy at 70x100 or work with the size you have. canvas print versus framed poster differences explains how the two formats behave at the same dimensions, which is the real choice available to you. hanging a large canvas in a small room is worth reading if the concern runs the other way, toward a print overwhelming a space rather than underfilling it.

A print that fills a wall is rarely the largest one in the room. It is the one hung at the right height.

Related questions

Will larger John Duncan sizes be added in future?

There is no announced plan for sizes beyond 70x100 cm. Editions are produced at fixed dimensions chosen for each composition, so any change would appear in the catalogue itself. Checking the product page is the only reliable way to confirm current John Duncan print sizes before ordering.

Is 70x100 cm big enough for above a sofa?

Usually yes. A standard three-seat sofa runs around 200 to 220 cm wide, so a 70x100 cm print covers roughly a third of it, which is a conventional and balanced proportion. On a wider wall, two prints side by side with a small gap will fill the space more convincingly than one.

Can I resize a print myself after buying it?

No. Resizing means recutting or reprinting, which is outside what a fixed-size edition allows, and trimming a framed or canvas print would damage it. If 70x100 cm is too large for your wall, the smaller sizes listed on each product page are the correct alternative.
