We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Berthe Morisot also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Summer's Day is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

Over 20 Years Experience
Only Museum Quality

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

In "Summer's Day," Berthe Morisot captures not just a scene but a fleeting impression - a delicate slice of life where two women sit in a boat, drifting on shimmering water. The colors are light, as if bathed in sunlight and reflected on the water's surface. Morisot’s brushstrokes are quick, almost hurried, yet intentional. They create a sense of movement and life, as if the painting itself is breathing. It’s all so fluid, almost as if the paint is still wet, and you can feel the slight rocking of the boat.

The women are the central figures, but they don’t dominate the composition. Their light dresses blend into the pale, rippling water, echoing the softness of their surroundings. Look at the woman on the right, seated stiffly, her hat punctuated by bold dark blue bows that break the pastel haze. She holds a parasol - just another accessory, but here it becomes a visual anchor, the cool blue popping against the otherwise muted palette.

Morisot avoids the traditional fine-line definition of figures. Instead, the forms of the women dissolve into the backdrop of water and greenery, creating an ethereal continuity between foreground and background. The blurred reflection of the women and the surrounding nature emphasizes this interconnectedness. It’s all hazy, yet sharp enough to suggest an everyday moment suspended in time.

And that duck! So unassuming, a tiny black-and-white swirl in the water, yet crucial. It pulls the scene together, a small element that underlines the casualness of the day. Morisot isn’t here to create drama. She’s painting life - quiet, intimate, and full of light.
