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.

In this life-size figure, Velazquez again followed a rigorous standard of perspective. In the space formed by the floor and the wall in the background (open to the right on the scene of a naval battle), the artist traces with still-life elements - arquebus, cuirass, helmet, cannon-balls - an oblique cross system. At the center of the cross, and linked to it by the angular arrangement of the feet and legs, rises the figure of the court jester in ceremonial dress.
It is interesting to note how the cane makes a compass shape with the arquebus on the ground, and how the arms point toward the right-hand corner, which is raised by the helmet. The splendor of the colours of opulent blacks and crimsons, and the rippling brushwork full of animation and unexpected jumps, does not alter the monumentality achieved by the composition, which exalts its subject. At the same time, the character of a simple man decked out in plumes has been preserved.
