Navicella — Hand-Painted Oil Reproduction

Painted to order in Dafen Village, Shenzhen · after Giotto · Public domain · Landscape

Giotto opens the view wide here — Giotto. Navicella, GD02 gives you the place without putting anyone in it. The land is built in layers, each one a different temperature of the same colour, so the eye walks into the distance instead of stopping at the frame.

The painting itself

Giotto opens the view wide here — Giotto. Navicella, GD02 gives you the place without putting anyone in it. The land is built in layers, each one a different temperature of the same colour, so the eye walks into the distance instead of stopping at the frame.

Giotto. Navicella, GD02. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the far distances go down cool and weak, the near ground stays loaded, and nothing is blended flat.

What a print loses

Landscape is the first thing printing ruins. The press gives you the same green at fifty metres as at five, and the whole point of the picture was that they are not the same green. A painter rebuilds that difference pass by pass, and the depth returns.

PriceOn request

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. You deal directly with the studio that paints it — no reseller layer.

Sizing it

Every canvas is painted to order, so the size is yours to choose. These are the ones people ask for most:

Size (inches)Size (cm)Best for
30 × 24 in76 × 61 cmDining room, bedroom feature wall
24 × 20 in60 × 50 cmStudy, home office, above a desk
20 × 16 in50 × 40 cmBedroom, hallway, above a console
16 × 12 in40 × 30 cmA shelf, a small wall, a gallery group

Custom sizes are welcome — if your wall needs something between these, or larger, say so and we will quote it. We quote the canvas first; framing and shipping come after. Import duties and taxes fall to the buyer (DAP).

Send the wall, the size and whether you want a frame, and we will quote.

Hanging it

In practice it works best in a dining room, where the horizontals echo the table. Because each canvas is built from scratch, we follow the original's proportions instead of trimming the image to a standard shape. Panoramic and vertical formats are both fine.

Questions worth asking

Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?

No, and we would be wary of anyone who issues one for a public-domain reproduction. What you receive is a hand-painted canvas and photographs of it before it ships.

Can I see progress photos while it is being painted?

We send photographs of the finished painting for approval before it ships. Mid-process images are not part of the standard workflow.

What happens after I message you?

You tell us the painting, size and whether you want a frame. We quote, a painter starts on your canvas, and you get photographs before it ships.
