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 Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velazquez 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.

The personages are seen in a room in the royal palace with identifiable paintings on the walls - Apollo and Pan, school of Rubens; copy of a Jor-daens by Mazo, both today in the Prado. Although a little scant of colour in the upper part, it is evident how the composition is committed to the influx of light in the 'proscenium' and from the background, in a contrast that is barely resolved by the play of perspective: an oblique quadrangle in the foreground, the diagonally placed canvas, the background with its mirrored figures and openings against the light. It is an intimate room. Royalty is out of the picture and participates only by reflection, without altering the gentle, fresh atmosphere of the scene. Velazquez removed every restriction that might have obliged him to alter the tone of everyday life, it might be anyone's life, to that of the court's rituals. In fact, the artist himself assumes the part of the protagonist, with his dominating position and his look expressing a tranquil self-awareness. The scene of homage to the Infanta, through its dwarfs, its modest household members and its faithful dog, is expressed in one of Velazquez' most delicate, refined and vibrant compositions - light in tone and application, with agile passages, contained, pearly touches and in general a supreme expression of expansive affection.
