The hand behind it

Hugo van der Goes

Hugo van der Goes was one of the greatest Early Netherlandish painters. His figures are intensely real, with individual faces and strong emotion, and his colour is rich and deep. He worked in Ghent, where he became master in the painters’ guild in 1467. In 1477 he entered the Red Cloister monastery near Brussels but continued to paint. His Portinari Altarpiece was commissioned by Tommaso Portinari, the Medici banker in Bruges, and sent to Florence, where its realistic shepherds impressed Italian painters. It is now in the Uffizi. The Portinari Altarpiece is the work we paint. Look at the shepherds’ rough faces and the flowers in the foreground.

Looking after it

Care and hanging

Keep it out of direct sun. Oil paint and varnish yellow and crack under prolonged UV. An interior wall away from a south-facing window is ideal.
Dust it, do not clean it. A dry, soft brush once or twice a year. No water, no sprays, no cleaning products.
Avoid damp and heat. Not above a radiator, not in a bathroom. Canvas expands and contracts with humidity.
Hang it at eye level. The centre of the painting about 145 cm (57 in) from the floor, on two fixings so it sits level.

Before you buy

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 Portinari Altarpiece in a different size or shape?

Yes. Portinari Altarpiece 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).
