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 Giorgio da Castelfranco Giorgione 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 The Tempest 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.

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.

The scene presents two figures in a verdant landscape: a young man clad in a red-trimmed jacket, resting on a staff, and a woman nursing an infant at the edge of a gently sloping bank. Her exposed form contrasts with the softness of her child’s pale skin, setting an intimate moment against a backdrop of urban fortifications and a wooden bridge. In the distance, towering clouds swirl in a charged sky interrupted by a jagged flash of lightning. Trees cluster around the figures, framing them within a richly detailed panorama that suggests a heightened awareness of nature’s potency. The cool expanse of water, spanned by a slight bridge, divides the composition and draws the eye inward to a skyline of Venetian-like architecture.

The color palette is dominated by luminous greens and blues, which shift gently across the terrain and sky, creating a sense of humid air and a suspended, expectant atmosphere. Subtle transitions between light and shadow demonstrate the artist’s refined technique, indicative of careful layering in thin, translucent glazes. The brushwork remains delicate in outlining the human forms, yet becomes looser and more suggestive in depicting foliage, water, and stone. Through these painterly modulations, the composition achieves a balance between crisp figuration and an enveloping atmosphere - the viewer’s gaze is guided first to the prominent figures, then sent meandering over the bridge, through the town, and finally toward the gathering storm clouds above.

The ambiguous iconography and stirring mood place this work within the milieu of early sixteenth-century Venetian painting, when poetic sensibilities and humanist influences began to intersect with more naturalistic depictions of everyday life. Various theories have aligned the male figure with mythological personages such as Silvio, referencing an allegory tied to the Vendramin family, who originally commissioned the piece around 1504. The painting’s journey through notable collections - from Gabriele Vendramin to Cristoforo Orsetti and ultimately the Manfrin collection - underscores its enduring allure and historical significance. What remains most compelling is the uncertainty of the narrative, a deliberate invitation to reflection on themes of nature’s power, human vulnerability, and the silent interplay of figures poised in an unsettled moment. The faint bolt of lightning, only just fracturing the sky, serves as a visual punctuation, suggesting both an atmospheric tension and the broader mystery contained within this quietly evocative scene.
