The hand behind it

Nikolaos Gyzis

Nikolaos Gyzis was the leading figure of Greek painters trained in Munich. His early genre scenes of Greek life are detailed and anecdotal, while his later work turns toward allegory and religious subjects painted with looser, lighter brushwork. He was born on the island of Tinos in 1842, studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and from 1865 at the Munich Academy, where he later became a professor. He spent most of his life in Munich and died there in 1901. Well known works include The Secret School and News of Victory (1871), and his allegorical Eros and the Painter. His work is in the National Gallery in Athens. After the Destruction of Psara shows his interest in episodes from the Greek War of Independence.

Looking after it

Care and hanging

Keep it out of direct sun. Oil paint and varnish yellow and crack under prolonged UV. An interior wall away from a south-facing window is ideal.

Dust it, do not clean it. A dry, soft brush once or twice a year. No water, no sprays, no cleaning products.

Avoid damp and heat. Not above a radiator, not in a bathroom. Canvas expands and contracts with humidity.

Hang it at eye level. The centre of the painting about 145 cm (57 in) from the floor, on two fixings so it sits level.

Before you buy

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 Boy with Cherries in a different size or shape?

Yes. Boy with Cherries 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). The original measures 89 x 51 cm (35 x 20.1 in).
