The hand behind it
Jean Baptiste Carpeaux
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux was above all a sculptor, the most lively of Second Empire France, but he also painted. His paintings are quick and loose, with a sketchy, dark manner, and many record the life around him, including scenes from the siege of Paris in 1870 to 1871. He was born in Valenciennes in 1827, studied under François Rude and at the École des Beaux-Arts, and won the Prix de Rome in 1854. In Rome he studied Michelangelo and Donatello and made his group Ugolino and His Sons. Back in Paris he became a favourite of the imperial court. His sculpture The Dance for the façade of the Paris Opéra caused a scandal for its energy and nudity. His work is in the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum. He died in 1875 near Courbevoie. In the siege paintings, look at the rapid brushwork: they read like notes made on the spot.

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 Self Portrait as Henri IV 1870 in a different size or shape?
Yes. Self Portrait as Henri IV 1870 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).
