The Birth of Venus is one of the most popular paintings by painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (19th-century ). It describes not the real birth of Venus from the sea, but her transportation in a shell as a fully mature woman from the sea to Paphos in Cyprus. She is considered the summary of the Classical Greek and Roman ideal of the female form and beauty, on par with Venus de Milo.
For Bouguereau, it is considered a tour de force. The canvas size is just over 300 centimeters (9 feet 10 inches) high, and 218 cm (7 ft 2 in) wide. The subject matter, as well as the composition, look like a previous art of this subject, Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, as well as Raphael's The Triumph of Galatea.
The Process Of Art Reproduction and Shipping details
Once we receive your order, Our artist will contact you and keep you updated on the progress through email, skype, or what's app. The Item will be entirely hand-painted with oil on cotton canvas. We use only top-quality materials to reproduce paintings. Once the painting had started you cannot cancel the order. For any reason If you insist on us stopping the painting in the middle of the process, we will refund your money after deducting a small amount from the total cost.
After receiving the order through our website we will contact you and send you the progress weekly through your email.
Reproduction of oil painting is very expensive and a time taking process. The completed painting requires at least a week for drying completely. After that, we apply two layers of protective coating to secure the painting from dust and mold. Only completely dried painting can apply a coating or the painting will be damaged. The process of painting may take more than 4 weeks to 6 weeks based on the size and complexity.
For stretching, We will add a 1.6" additional white canvas border on all four sides for stretching purposes. We do not provide stretched canvas due to several issues. We cannot take the risk of damage while shipping. Also, there are size limitations for sending framed canvas. Shipping a large-sized stretched canvas might cost more than a painting itself. So we suggest you find a nearby local shop for the framing process.
After showing the final result to the customer for approval and after painting dried and ready for shopping. we will send you the painting in a fine hard plastic tube. You will receive a courier tracking number by e-mail.
