The hand behind it
Joseph Marie Vien
Joseph-Marie Vien helped turn French painting away from the frothy Rococo toward the calm of Neoclassicism. His scenes are set in an imagined ancient Greece and Rome, with young women in simple white drapery, marble furniture and soft, even light. The style became known as the Greek taste. Born in Montpellier, he trained under Charles-Joseph Natoire, won the Prix de Rome in 1745 and studied in Italy. His best known painting, The Cupid Seller (La Marchande d’Amours) of 1763, was inspired by an ancient Roman fresco. He later directed the French Academy in Rome and was the last to hold the title of First Painter to the King. His most famous pupil was Jacques-Louis David. Greek Maidens Adorning a Sleeping Cupid with Flowers shows his gentle, graceful side. Look at the clean profiles and carefully arranged groups that point toward David’s work.

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 La Marchande d’Amours in a different size or shape?
Yes. La Marchande d’Amours 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).
