The hand behind it
François-Léon Benouville
François-Léon Benouville painted religious and classical subjects in a clean, calm Neoclassical style. His figures are carefully drawn, his compositions balanced and his colour restrained. He was born in Paris and trained with his older brother Jean-Achille in the studio of François-Édouard Picot, then at the École des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome in 1845. In Rome he painted The Wrath of Achilles (1847) and scenes of early Christianity. His Christ at the Pretorium and Christian Martyrs Entering the Amphitheatre are in the Musée d’Orsay. He died at 37. Esther and St. Francis of Assisi show his gentle side. Look at the clear outlines and quiet mood.

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 Esther in a different size or shape?
Yes. Esther 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 124 x 162 cm (48.8 x 63.8 in).
