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 Vincent van Gogh 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.

"Blue Enamel Coffeepot, Earthenware and Fruit," 1888 - a still life that’s deceptively simple at first glance but speaks volumes about Van Gogh’s evolving artistic spirit. Here, Van Gogh isn’t chasing some grandiose vision of life; instead, he captures the mundane - a coffeepot, a few pears, some ceramics. But, in typical Van Gogh fashion, it’s anything but dull.

The composition feels deliberate yet casual. The coffee pot - a hulking presence of dark enamel blue - is the anchor, its stout form surrounded by more delicate, patterned objects. A ceramic jug with a checkerboard design (blue, naturally) flirts with whimsy, while a finely detailed cup and pitcher seem to revel in their own elegance. Then there are the fruits - those oranges and lemons, sitting nonchalantly at the base, grounding the scene in a moment of stillness.

The colors! Ah, here’s where Van Gogh’s magic truly sings. He’s not content with just replicating reality. The background is a bright, mustard yellow, far more vibrant than any humble kitchen wall would dare to be. It’s as if the yellow is trying to escape the painting, popping against the objects in the foreground. The red border running along the edge of the canvas is almost mischievous, like Van Gogh is reminding us that, yes, this is still a painting - a window into his world but never quite letting us forget the frame.

Then there's the brushwork. It’s not delicate or precise, but robust and direct. The way he treats the drapery beneath the objects is especially telling - those bold, horizontal strokes feel raw, almost impatient, contrasting with the tight detailing of the ceramics. There’s a kind of tension in that, a push and pull between roughness and refinement, the everyday and the extraordinary.

This isn’t just a still life; it’s a snapshot of Van Gogh’s internal world - controlled chaos, brimming with energy even in its most quiet moments.
