The hand behind it
Fra Carnevale
Fra Carnevale was a painter and Dominican friar from Urbino whose few surviving works show a love of architecture and perspective. His figures stand in bright, carefully measured spaces, with strong light and deeply folded drapery. He was born in Urbino around 1420 as Bartolomeo di Giovanni Corradini and worked in Filippo Lippi’s studio in Florence in the mid 1440s. He entered the Dominican order in 1449 and worked as both painter and architect in Urbino, designing the portal of San Domenico there. Only about nine works are securely his. The Barberini Panels, showing the Birth of the Virgin and the Presentation in the Temple, are divided between the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He died in 1484. Portrait of a Man and Saint John the Baptist are among the few works attributed to him.

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 The Birth of the Virgin in a different size or shape?
Yes. The Birth of the Virgin 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 144.8 x 96.2 cm (57 x 37.9 in).
