The hand behind it
Paul Bril
Paul Bril helped make landscape a subject in its own right. His early pictures are dramatic Flemish fantasies of rocks, forests and sharp contrasts of light and dark; his later ones, influenced by Annibale Carracci and Adam Elsheimer, are calmer, with lower horizons and softer, more classical light. Many are small cabinet pictures on copper or panel. Born in Antwerp around 1554, he left in 1574 and reached Rome before 1580, joining his brother Matthijs, who was painting frescoes in the Vatican. After Matthijs died in 1583, Paul took over much of his work and became one of the main landscape specialists in Rome. In 1621 he was the first foreigner to head the Accademia di San Luca. He collaborated with Jan Brueghel the Elder and taught Agostino Tassi, and his late style was crucial to the young Claude Lorrain. He died in Rome in 1626. Fantastic Landscape and Coastal Landscape show the two sides of his work.

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 Port in a different size or shape?
Yes. The Port 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 105 x 150 cm (41.3 x 59.1 in).
