Reading the canvas
Saint Christopher 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.
Saint Christopher. 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.

What a print loses
The whole construction is a light problem: a dark interior, one source, and figures modelled by it. Printing turns the dark passages into black holes; painted properly they stay full of colour.
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.
Canvas sizes
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 64 × 48 in | 163 × 122 cm | Villa scale, lobby, hospitality wall |
| 48 × 36 in | 122 × 91 cm | Large living room, stairwell, loft |
Larger canvases are possible, and so is anything in between. Just send the size you want. Framing and shipping are quoted separately. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).
Give us your size and framing preference and you will have a quote shortly.

This one reads well as a focal point in a living room. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
Before you order
Is there a rush option?
It depends on the canvas and what else is in the studio. Ask on WhatsApp with your size and we will tell you straight what is possible.
Is it really painted by hand?
Yes. We hand-paint from public-domain source images, do not sell prints, and never claim the original.
Does changing the size change the composition?
No — we keep the original's proportions and scale from there, rather than cropping the image to fit a standard frame.
