Creation Process
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.
Delivery
Once the painting Poplars on the Epte 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.
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
Monet's palette is a symphony of cool blues, verdant greens, and flashes of golden sunlight. The interplay of these colors imbues the painting with a vibrant immediacy, yet it also invites a lingering gaze. The delicate transitions between hues suggest the shimmering quality of sunlight on water, while the variations in tone capture the atmospheric effects of a fleeting moment. This is a colorist at the height of his powers, balancing harmony with a sense of natural dynamism.
The brushwork is quintessential Monet: short, brisk strokes interwoven to create a surface alive with movement. Each mark carries the energy of its maker, yet collectively they build a scene of tranquility. The technique is not merely about mimicking appearances but about conveying an experience. The texture of the paint - layered yet light - mirrors the textures of the landscape, drawing the viewer into the interplay of form and fluidity.
The composition is deceptively simple. The verticality of the poplars, mirrored by their reflections, establishes a rhythmic cadence that guides the eye across the canvas. The division of the space into quadrants, with a central glow of light, offers a subtle geometry that underpins the apparent spontaneity. This structural precision elevates the work, balancing the impulsiveness of Impressionism with a deliberate order.
Historically, this work reflects Monet’s evolving approach to landscape. By 1891, he had settled in Giverny and begun his celebrated series paintings, exploring the effects of light and atmosphere on a single motif. The poplars, threatened by felling, were saved through Monet’s intervention - a testament to his commitment to both art and nature. This dedication permeates the painting, which, though rooted in a specific moment, transcends it, inviting viewers into Monet’s profound dialogue with the ephemeral.
