What you are looking at

Sunset - Ruin of the Hospice, Wytschaete is as much architecture as painting. Architecture is used as scaffolding: it sets the intervals and lets the light fall where it wants.

Sunset - Ruin of the Hospice, Wytschaete. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the distant stone stays soft and only the near detail is sharpened, which keeps the street deep.

Why this one has to be painted by hand

Architecture printed goes hard — every edge the same weight. Painted by hand the far buildings stay soft and the near ones carry detail, so the street keeps its depth.

Where a Sunset - Ruin of the Hospice, Wytschaete hangs best

This one reads well in a room with architectural detail. 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 Sunset - Ruin of the Hospice, Wytschaete?

Any size you like, because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas. Most collectors choose something between 24 x 20 in and 40 x 30 in for this composition. If your wall needs something else, say so and we quote it.

Is Sunset - Ruin of the Hospice, Wytschaete in the public domain?

Paul Nash died in 1946, 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.
