The hand behind it
Jean Cousin the Elder
Jean Cousin the Elder was one of the most important French artists of the sixteenth century, a painter, designer of stained glass, engraver and author of books on perspective and geometry. His style belongs to the French Renaissance: elegant, long-limbed figures, cool colour and a strong sense of design. He came from Sens in Burgundy, where he worked on windows for the cathedral before moving to Paris. He designed stained glass for the Sainte-Chapelle at Vincennes and published a treatise on perspective in 1560. Very few paintings can be securely given to him. The best known is Eva Prima Pandora, in the Louvre, one of the first large reclining nudes in French painting. It shows a woman in a cave who is both Eve and Pandora, with a skull under her arm and a jar beside her. Look at the long, pale body and the calm landscape seen through the cave’s opening.

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 Eva Prima Pandora in a different size or shape?
Yes. Eva Prima Pandora 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 97.5 x 150 cm (38.4 x 59.1 in).
