High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Tiziano Vecellio Titian 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.

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.

From letters between Titian and the court of Madrid, it has been established that this Danae was executed in 1553. The painting takes up again a subject done in 1546 (now in Naples).
The figure of the young woman is posed reclining on a bed, and her beautiful body, recalling elegant Mannerist proportions, turns with a lazy rhythm towards us; her glance is directed up to the cloud, from which Jove pours a shower of gold down on his beloved mortal. In place of the classic cupid, we find here the disagreeable figure of an old servant who avidly holds out her apron to catch some of the coins - a sad figure that appears in many of the seduction scenes of the time.
A comparison with the earlier version, which was painted in Rome, gives us some light on the development of Titian's taste. In 1546 he appears to be engaged in an effort that is classic in tone and the composition works to suggest space. In this version it is the colour imbued with light which resolves the problem of form. The light, descending fantastically from the cloud, is not only a part of the plot, but a great stylistic solution.
