What is actually happening
Madonna and Child Enthroned and Twelve Angels and Child Enthroned and Twelve An treats a sacred subject as something happening next door. The sacred subject is treated as something happening in a room, with real weight and real hands.
Madonna and Child Enthroned and Twelve Angels and Child Enthroned and Twelve An. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the dark passages keep their colour instead of going black, so the light has something to work against.

Why paint it by hand
Printed, the shadows go to mud and the figures detach from the space they are standing in. A painter keeps the darkness transparent, which is what holds the room together.
Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. No resellers, no drop-shipper. The painter's studio handles your commission from first message to final crate.
Choosing a size
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
| 24 × 20 in | 60 × 50 cm | Study, home office, above a desk |
| 20 × 16 in | 50 × 40 cm | Bedroom, hallway, above a console |
| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
These are the usual requests, not a limit. Anything in between, or bigger, is just a matter of asking. Framing and shipping are quoted separately. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).

This one reads well in a hallway where it can be approached. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
The practical questions
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time, depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we photograph, pack and send.
How close will it be to the original?
The composition, colour and drawing follow the original closely; the brushwork carries the painter's own hand. The painter works freehand on a blank canvas, following the same logic as the original rather than copying a photograph.
Do you work from my own photograph?
Yes, though that is a separate service. This page is for a hand-painted version of {title}; for a photo-to-painting commission, send the image on WhatsApp.
