The painting
Naval Battle in the Gulf of Naples
Galleys and sailing ships fight in the bay of Naples, with the city spread along the shore, Vesuvius behind and the harbour mole curving round in front. The attribution to Bruegel, around 1560, has been debated. It is in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome.We paint each copy by hand in oil, only after it is ordered, and send you a photo to approve first.

The hand behind it
Pieter Brueghel the Elder
Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted the whole of human life seen from a little above: crowds of villagers dancing, feasting, working and playing, set in vast landscapes of fields, rivers and mountains. His peasants are solid and lively rather than comic, and every corner of his pictures holds a small story. He was probably born around 1525, perhaps near Breda, and became a master in the Antwerp painters’ guild in 1551. He then travelled through Italy, reaching as far south as Reggio Calabria. For years he designed prints in Antwerp, then moved to Brussels in 1563 after his marriage and died there in 1569. About forty paintings survive, including The Hunters in the Snow and Children’s Games in Vienna and Dulle Griet in Antwerp. His sons Pieter the Younger and Jan carried on the family name. Children’s Games shows dozens of different games at once: try to count them.

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 Naval Battle in the Gulf of Naples in a different size or shape?
Yes. Naval Battle in the Gulf of Naples 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 42.2 x 71.2 cm (16.6 x 28 in).
