Chrysanthemums, 1897 Claude Monet (1840-1926)

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 Claude Monet 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 Chrysanthemums 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.

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.

"Chrysanthemums," 1897 by Claude Monet - the sheer vibrancy in this painting could wake the dead. What strikes you immediately is the unrelenting celebration of color. Monet doesn’t so much paint flowers as he orchestrates them, creating a veritable explosion of pinks, yellows, whites, and reds. It’s like standing in the middle of a botanical firework show, where each chrysanthemum bursts with a life of its own, competing for your attention.

There's no vase, no garden bench, no tidy arrangement of stems. The flowers practically spill out from the canvas, crowding one another in a delightful chaos, leaving you with no clear foreground or background. They are simply there - in all their ephemeral glory - forcing you to see them as they are: fleeting but magnificent.

Monet’s technique is textbook Impressionism, but let’s not undersell it. His brushstrokes are loose, even messy, yet intentional. Each dab of paint feels like it’s caught in a moment of spontaneity, yet somehow they all coalesce into these perfectly recognizable blossoms. You can feel the weight of his hand but also the lightness of the flowers’ petals - a fine balance between control and release.

The composition - if you can even call it that - is refreshingly reckless. The chrysanthemums flood the entire canvas, with no single point to rest your eyes. But that’s the brilliance of it. It’s as if Monet is saying, “Look! Life doesn’t organize itself neatly for you. Take it all in!”
