Reading the canvas
Saint François Xavier baptisant les Indiens Saint François Xavier baptisant les treats a sacred subject as something happening next door. Light is doing the theological work here: it arrives from one direction and decides who matters.
Saint François Xavier baptisant les Indiens Saint François Xavier baptisant les. 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 makes it hard to copy
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. There is no agency in between; the studio that paints your canvas is the one answering your messages.
What size works
Because we paint each piece from scratch, you are not limited to stock dimensions. Common choices:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 64 × 48 in | 163 × 122 cm | Villa scale, lobby, hospitality wall |
Treat this as a starting point. We cut canvases to whatever the wall requires. Shipping and framing are not included in the canvas quote. Duties and import taxes are for the buyer's account (DAP).

We have painted it most often for clients hanging it in a study or quiet corner. Proportions follow the original, not the nearest standard frame size. Anything panoramic or vertical is handled as a matter of course.
What people ask us
What size should I order?
You choose the size. Each canvas is cut to your measurements rather than pulled from stock, so tell us the wall dimensions and we will tell you what proportion works.
What if it does not look right to me?
We send photographs of the actual painting for your approval before anything ships. That is the moment to tell us what to adjust.
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.
