{"product_id":"william-blake-elohim-creating-adam-print","title":"Elohim Creating Adam by William Blake","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first man, made of earth: William Blake’s Elohim Creating Adam, one of his twelve large colour prints, on stretched canvas, framed, or on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is earth browns and golds under a dark blue sky with red rays, and a cheap copy turns it flat and muddy. Our Blake Elohim Creating Adam print is made from a photograph of the original, nothing repainted, so the wings, the worm and the rays stay clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eMade from the ground\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElohim is a Hebrew name for God. Blake shows the moment in Genesis when God forms man from the dust of the ground: Adam seems to grow out of the earth beneath the vast spread wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eCreation as a fall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA worm, Blake’s sign of death, already coils round Adam’s leg. For Blake the fall of man happened here, at the creation, not later in Eden. Michelangelo shaped his bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eTwelve large colour prints\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlake dated the design 1795 and sold this print to Thomas Butts in 1805. It is the only copy known. W. Graham Robertson bought it in 1906 and gave it to the Tate in 1939.\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. 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 gentle landscape shape suits a study, a library or a hallway. The browns and golds look warm with cream, rust and walnut, and a black or dark wood 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.
