The hand behind it
Richard Parkes Bonington
Richard Parkes Bonington packed a whole career into a few years. His small coastal views of northern France, with low horizons, wide luminous skies and figures on wet sand, and his sparkling views of Venice have a lightness of touch that his friend Delacroix compared to a diamond. He was equally brilliant in watercolour and oil. Born in Arnold, near Nottingham, in 1802, he moved to Calais with his family as a teenager and studied watercolour with Louis Francia, then entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Baron Gros. He won a gold medal at the Paris Salon of 1824, the same year as John Constable. Under Delacroix’s influence he also painted small scenes from French history, such as Henri III. He died in London in 1828, aged just 25. The Wallace Collection in London holds 35 of his works. In Boats near the Shore of Normandy, notice how much of the canvas he gives to sky.

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 On the Adriatic in a different size or shape?
Yes. On the Adriatic 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 30 x 43 cm (11.8 x 16.9 in).
