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.

The picture commemorates the royal favourite and minister and political author of Philip IV's victories. We see here the Count-Duke seated on his rearing horse. In the background, on the left, there is an infantry battle. The position of the horse, in the classical and humanist tradition, and the commanding pose of the figure, as in other equestrian portraits, are conventions imposed by the theme. But in carrying it out, the artist transformed and individualized its character. Starting from the sword, and passing through the arm and baton of command, a rapid zigzag is traced, which sums up the broken movement of the figure and the axis of the entire picture, from below to above and from one end to the other: and mobilizes it completely, aided by all the other indications of movement. A feeling of motion animates every phase and every point and is echoed in the landscape which is dramatically rich in changes in level and in raking light and shade, as well as in the sky, full of tumultuous clouds and torn by luminous breaks. The smoking battle adds a sharp, even tragic note to the breathless action of the composition, which is coherently accompanied by the bursts of colour and by the broken and unexpected patterns of the brushwork.
