So this is a personal question, I was looking at some art for my new house. They can be $400+ in the sizes I want. Now I have my own wide format printer in a print shop so why would I want to pay someone else to print something I can? The problem is getting the artwork. I would happily pay for a digital copy, but cannot seem to find anything like iStock for fine art, I am assuming there are serious license issues and that is why they are not being sold or my googling is just not that good.

I am particularly about resolution, so grabbing something off google images is just not good enough. Am I out of luck without some expensive license or does anyone know where I can buy these files as I would from iStock? 

The specific piece I am looking for is by Winslow Homer "Canoe in the rapids"

Google image search?

I know there is a post with a few good sites but not sure if it's what you're looking for.

I doubt artists want to use a service like that for their work because you know the internet. There would be people mass producing their art. You can buy a 16" x 24" print here for $39.69.

I get any artists alive would not want that, I am talking about artists long dead. I am also looking for much larger, in the 40" to 60" width range which I could buy a roll of paper for my Epson for that much with change to spare.
