The hand behind it
Willem van Aelst
Willem van Aelst painted still lifes of flowers, fruit and game with a glossy, jewel-like finish. His hunting pieces, with dead birds, nets and embroidered bags, and his flower arrangements with a watch or crystal vase, are some of the most refined of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in Delft, he trained with his uncle Evert van Aelst. He spent several years in France and then worked in Florence from 1649 to 1656 as court painter to Grand Duke Ferdinando II de’ Medici. He then settled in Amsterdam, where he became one of the city’s leading still-life painters and taught Rachel Ruysch and Maria van Oosterwijck. His Still Life with Fruit and Crystal Vase of 1652 is in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, and the Mauritshuis in The Hague holds several of his works. Look at the textures: velvet, feathers, silver and grape skin all rendered differently.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get A still life with grapes plums figs and a melon on a partly draped stone ledge 1653 in a different size or shape?
Yes. A still life with grapes plums figs and a melon on a partly draped stone ledge 1653 is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in).
