{"product_id":"william-blake-the-simoniac-pope-print","title":"The Simoniac Pope by William Blake","description":"\u003cp\u003eA scene from Dante’s Inferno: William Blake’s The Simoniac Pope, painted in the last years of his life, on stretched canvas, framed, or on fine art paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is fiery oranges and cool greys on paper, and a cheap copy turns the delicate washes flat. Our Blake Simoniac Pope print is made from a museum-quality scan, unretouched, so the flames stay bright and the washes delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eA visionary in London\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Blake, a hosier’s son from Soho, trained as an engraver and became a poet and painter of visions. Barely recognised in his lifetime, he is now one of the great figures of the Romantic age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eHis last great work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1824 Blake painted Dante’s Divine Comedy for his young patron John Linnell, and was still working on it the day he died in 1827.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eInto the fire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Hell, Dante finds the popes who sold church offices for money thrust head-first into holes of fire. Blake painted one of them, flames licking his feet. The Tate bought this sheet in 1919.\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\u003e12x16 inch, 20x28 inch, 28x40 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 tall shape suits a study, a hallway or a living room wall. The oranges, greys and blues look rich with cream, slate and walnut, and a black or natural 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.
