Our Van Gogh first steps print was graded beside the original so the blossom stays fresh, the blues stay soft and the little family stays clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eSaint-Rémy, January 1890\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the asylum at Saint-Rémy, Vincent van Gogh had begun to paint his own versions of works by Jean-François Millet. “Perhaps I’d be more useful doing that than through my own painting,” he wrote to his brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eA child’s first steps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheo sent him a photograph of Millet’s drawing of a child’s first steps. “How beautiful the Millet is,” Vincent wrote back. He drew a grid over the photograph and copied it onto canvas: a father kneeling by his spade with his arms open, and a mother holding the toddler as she lets go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eIn colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMillet’s drawing was black and white. Vincent painted it in the soft greens and blues of a spring garden. It belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.\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 greens, blues and creams look gentle with white, sage and pale oak, and a white or natural 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.
