About the Item
"Sifnos" is a serigraph on paper by Thomas McKnight from his 'Aegean Sea Suite', signed 'McKnight' lower right and numbered XXIX/CC lower left. From the edition of 510 (there were also 200 Arabic, 50 APs, 6 PPs, 4 trial proofs and 50 HCs). The image size is 16 x 18 inches and the framed dimensions are 28 x 29.75 inches. Framed in a contemporary black frame.
Sifnos, from Thomas McKnight’s celebrated Aegean Sea Suite, captures the luminous serenity of the Greek islands at their most iconic. Brilliant white architecture curves gracefully toward an impossibly blue horizon, where a small sailboat drifts beneath the sun. Cobblestone paths, sun-warmed terraces, and bursts of potted flowers create a scene that feels both timeless and intimately familiar—an open invitation to wander, linger, and breathe in the radiance of the Aegean.
McKnight’s palette in Sifnos is distilled to its essentials: crisp whites, deeply saturated blues, and accents of terra-cotta and rose that echo the textures and rhythms of island life. Each detail, from the gentle sweep of the staircase to the brightly striped towel fluttering from a window, evokes a landscape shaped by light and centuries-old craftsmanship.
As with all works in the Aegean Sea Suite, Sifnos offers more than a picturesque view—it offers a sense of belonging to a place defined by beauty, clarity, and restorative calm. For collectors drawn to art that transports and uplifts, this serigraph is a radiant window into McKnight’s beloved Mediterranean world.
Thomas McKnight (b. 1941) has built an international reputation for paintings and prints that celebrate beauty, serenity, and the joy of place. His luminous interiors open onto sweeping views of oceans, gardens, and distant cities, inviting the viewer into a world of color and calm. Blending elements of landscape, architecture, and still life, McKnight creates spaces that are at once intimate and expansive, windows into a life of leisure, travel, and imagination.
McKnight’s works are represented in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the New Britain Museum of American Art, as well as numerous private and corporate collections worldwide. In 2000, President and Mrs. Clinton selected his painting Night in Gramercy Park as the official White House Christmas card, underscoring his cultural significance.
His style, often described as both romantic and modern, draws from the traditions of Matisse and Bonnard while embracing the clarity of contemporary design. Interiors become portraits of imagined lives, spaces filled with books, music, and art, while his landscapes evoke the timeless allure of destinations like Santorini, the Riviera, or New England’s coast. In today’s art market, where collectors increasingly seek works that blend fine art with lifestyle and décor, McKnight’s images feel especially relevant: they resonate as both art objects and as visions of the lives we aspire to live.
For today’s collectors, McKnight’s art resonates more than ever: in an age of constant motion, his paintings offer a pause, a reminder of the beauty of interiors and landscapes where light, color, and memory converge. His works are both nostalgic and aspirational, appealing to seasoned art lovers and those beginning their collections with imagery that feels timeless, joyful, and universally human.

Thomas McKnight
Thomas McKnight's imaginary images can be described as delightful visions. No matter the passage of fashion or the seasons, there are places of transcendent timelessness in his work where peace and beauty only exists. Besides the incredible beauty of this work, it is probably his creation of places that gives us a sense of home that is responsible for his rapport with such a large public audience.
