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.

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.

This rare landscape was painted in the summer of 1630, when Velazquez lived in the Villa Medici, Rome, copying ancient statues (note the Sleeping Ariadne in the background), according to Pacheco.
Dated by some scholars 1650-51, it is more probably the precedent for works executed around 1635 (see the background of the Surrender of Breda). It may be identified as one of the four small landscapes (of which three are in the Prado) acquired for the King in 1634 by Villanueva.
Although the symmetrical disposition, centered on the arch in the background, connects the painting with the Venetian tradition, especially with Paolo Veronese, in one aspect it reveals itself as an ancestor of modern landscape. The protagonist of the canvas, in fact, is the filtering of light through the trees to the figures, the architecture and the ground. A momentary, passing 'impression,' an instant of luminous vibration, is caught among the infinite changes of colour and summer warmth in the quiet of a midday hour. Between artist and landscape a reciprocity and intimate continuity of relationship are established, by which one seems to penetrate the other in a conjunction that exalts the poetry of a moment.
