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 Isaac Ilyich Levitan 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.

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.
Additional Information
Levitan’s color palette is finely balanced - the fresh, almost luminous greens of the grass and foliage contrast with the pale sky overhead. The blossoms themselves appear as clusters of delicate white, tinged in places with faint hints of pink or cream. This interplay of tones creates a sense of depth, as the eye travels from the brighter foreground toward the softer background. The painting’s overall effect is one of clarity and lightness, capturing the fleeting moment of springtime renewal before the blossoms fade.
Technically, the artist employs a thin and transparent layer of paint, allowing the texture of the canvas to participate in the final image. This approach lends an air of immediacy, as if the orchard’s freshness were still unfolding. Levitan’s brushwork is assured but never heavy, shaping the foliage with a subtle touch. Pen and ink have been applied to the fine branches, creating a precise linear framework that complements the looser handling of color. This blend of media suggests a meticulous attention to the rhythms of nature - each branch seems gently coaxed into being, reinforcing the impression of trembling spring growth.
Compositionally, the orchard’s trees guide the viewer’s gaze in a measured progression across the canvas. The space is both expansive and intimate, hinting at the broader landscape beyond while maintaining focus on the orchard itself. Shadows on the grass flicker and shift, reflecting the changeability of sunlight in early spring. This emphasis on transition and renewal resonates with the broader context of Levitan’s work in the late 19th century, when many Russian painters were preoccupied with capturing the spiritual and emotional qualities of the land. The painting stands as a testament to Levitan’s nuanced understanding of nature’s rhythms, showcasing his ability to evoke a sense of quiet wonder and continuity within the ever-changing cycle of the seasons.
