The Prophetess Anna (known as Rembrandt's Mother), 1631 van Rijn Rembrandt (1606-1669)

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 van Rijn Rembrandt 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 The Prophetess Anna (known as Rembrandt's Mother) 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.

Rembrandt’s “Old Woman Reading” (or, "The Prophetess Hannah," if you want to be formal about it). A modest moment captured in 1631, yet brimming with life - as only Rembrandt can. The first thing that draws you in, obviously, is the light. This isn’t just a painting; it’s a study in illumination. The soft, golden glow falls delicately over the old woman’s fur-lined robe and creased face. She sits, hunched slightly, in a quiet reverence, her thin, worn fingers tracing the words on the page - as if she’s pulling meaning directly from the ink.

Her helmet-like headgear glistens under the light, echoing the textures of her deep red coat. And speaking of red, that velvety garment she’s draped in is practically alive. Rembrandt has this uncanny knack for making fabric appear tactile. The folds of the robe are a dance of shadow and highlights, almost begging to be touched.

But then, let’s look at the composition - Rembrandt, has set her in such a way that the book, her face, and those hands form a triangle of focus. It draws the eye effortlessly. This old woman is not lost in the background; she commands your attention, pulling you into her world of study, faith, or reflection. There’s mystery in the shadows that wrap around her. He has isolated her in the darkness - a world of quiet contemplation. The colors are restrained but sumptuous, the technique refined, as the oil paint melds together in that characteristic Rembrandt softness.

What’s she reading? We don’t know. And that’s the beauty. She’s in her own world, absorbed - and now, so are we.
