{"product_id":"eugene-delacroix-last-words-of-marcus-aurelius-print","title":"Last Words of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius by Eugène Delacroix","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dying emperor’s last words: Eugène Delacroix’s Last Words of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, on canvas, framed, or on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is deep shadow with a few strong reds and whites, and a cheap copy turns the shadows to black and loses the faces. Our Delacroix Marcus Aurelius print was graded beside the original so the reds stay strong and every face can be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eParis, 1844\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelacroix had thought of painting this scene as early as 1824. Twenty years later, ill himself, he painted the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius on his deathbed, with help from his pupil Louis de Planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eThe son in red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wise emperor entrusts his son Commodus to his counsellors, grave philosophers with long beards. Commodus, in red, is already trying to pull his arm away from his father’s grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eRomanticism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was shown at the Salon of 1845. Delacroix painted several versions; this, the largest, hangs in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCanvas, framed or paper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStretched canvas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFramed canvas.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFramed print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine art print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20x16 inch, 30x24 inch, 40x32 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn your wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts wide shape suits a study, a library or a living room. The deep shadows and strong reds look rich with cream, charcoal and walnut, and a gold frame suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the original painting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the colour look flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the edges be cropped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size is right for my wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, within 30 days of delivery.
