The hand behind it

Mathieu Ignace van Bree

Mattheus Ignatius van Bree painted history on a grand scale, in the clear, polished Neoclassical style of the Napoleonic era: crowds, ceremonies, heroes and patriotic scenes with carefully drawn figures. He was also one of the teachers who shaped Belgian painting in the 19th century. Born in Antwerp in 1773, he took second place in the Prix de Rome in Paris in 1797 with The Death of Cato. He painted The Arrival of the First Consul Bonaparte at Antwerp, 18 June 1803 for Joséphine, and also Dutch and Flemish history subjects such as The Patriotism of Burgomaster Van der Werff for Leiden town hall and The Death of Rubens, now in Antwerp. In 1827 he became director of the Antwerp Academy, where his pupils included Gustaf Wappers, Nicaise de Keyser, Henri Leys and Antoine Wiertz. He died in Antwerp in 1839. Entry of Bonaparte as First Consul records Napoleon’s visit to Antwerp in 1803.

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.

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.
