What you are looking at
Ivan Shishkin opens the view wide here — Autumn on Krestovsky Island 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.
Autumn on Krestovsky Island. In our studio the thing that matters is how Ivan Shishkin actually works: Shishkin draws every species of tree correctly and builds the forest as architecture.
Why this one has to be painted by hand
A print flattens a landscape into a poster: the distance collapses, and the sky stops being weather. Painted by hand the depth comes back, because the painter mixes a cooler, weaker version of every colour for the far ground and lets the near ground stay loaded.

This one reads well above a console in an entry. Because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas we keep the proportions of the original rather than cropping to fit, so an unusually wide or tall composition stays honest at any size.
Questions people ask before ordering
What size should I order for Autumn on Krestovsky Island?
Landscape usually lands between 24 x 20 in and 40 x 30 in; wider than that it starts asking for a whole wall. If your wall needs something else, say so and we quote it.
Is Autumn on Krestovsky Island in the public domain?
Ivan Shishkin died in 1898, which puts this work in the public domain — commissioning a hand-painted reproduction is legal, and owning one is legal anywhere in the world. We never pass ours off as the original and never issue certificates of authenticity.
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 can photograph and pack it. We send photographs of your actual painting for approval before anything ships.
How close will it be to the original?
It is painted by hand from the same image you are looking at, so it is a painting of the painting, not a scan. Expect the composition, colour and drawing to follow the original closely, and expect the brushwork to be our painter's own — that is the point of commissioning one. You approve photographs before it ships.
