Our Van Gogh self portrait 1889 print was graded beside the original so the blues stay cool and the brushwork stays sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eSaint-Rémy, September 1889\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn September 1889 Vincent van Gogh was a patient at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in Provence, working again after a spell of illness. He painted himself in a blue suit against a background of the same blue, moving in swirls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003e“Look at it for some time”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe sent it to his brother Theo with a note: “you must look at it for some time – you’ll see, I hope, that my physiognomy has grown much calmer.” He said he had tried to make something simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eA calmer face\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had another self-portrait from those weeks, made, he said, while he was ill, but this was the one he chose to send. Doctor Gachet, who looked after him the next year at Auvers, was fanatical about it. It belongs to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.\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.

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 upright shape suits a study, a home office or a hallway. The pale blues and greens look fresh with white, grey and soft blue, and a white or black 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.
