High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Giovanni Antonio Canal Canaletto 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.

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.

Additional Information
Canaletto’s composition is deliberate, almost mathematical. The eye is pulled through the scene, first by the curvature of the canal, then by the verticals of the buildings, and finally by the tiny figures - boatmen, merchants - who dot the foreground. Every element is harmoniously balanced, yet there’s a liveliness in the details. Gondolas dot the water like delicate punctuation marks, their sleek black hulls contrasting with the soft, sunlit stone of the buildings.
The colors are gentle, restrained. The sky - pale blue - merges effortlessly with the sea, which Canaletto renders in a muted green that reflects the architecture as it ripples softly. Nothing feels exaggerated; the light is soft and even, casting subtle shadows, making the city feel both warm and eternal.
And then, there’s his technique. Canaletto is meticulous - his brushwork is sharp, his lines clean. Yet, there’s no coldness in it. The painting feels alive, breathing. Every ripple, every arch, every window is rendered with an affection that borders on reverence. You can almost hear the gentle splash of water against stone.
