The painting
The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things
This was painted as a tabletop. In the middle is a great eye, with Christ in its pupil and the words: Beware, beware, God sees. Around it, seven scenes of everyday Dutch life show the seven sins, from a drunk at the table to a vain woman at a mirror. Four circles in the corners show death, judgement, heaven and hell. Philip II kept it in his rooms at El Escorial. It is attributed to Bosch, though some scholars give it to a follower. It is in the Prado.Your copy starts on a blank canvas after you order and is painted in oil by hand. You approve it from a photo before it leaves us.

The hand behind it
Hieronymus Bosch
Bosch painted things nobody has satisfactorily explained. Hybrid creatures, giant fruit, figures crawling into eggs and shells, instruments of torture built from musical instruments. The Garden of Earthly Delights opens from a grey exterior of the world on the third day into three panels of paradise, excess and punishment. He worked in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, a prosperous Dutch town, belonged to a religious confraternity, married well and appears to have lived an entirely conventional life. That gap between the biography and the paintings is part of why the theories multiply. Readings have ranged from heretical sect membership to alchemy to straightforward moral instruction in a visual language his contemporaries understood better than we do. Philip II of Spain collected him seriously, which is how the best work ended up in the Prado. The Surrealists claimed him four centuries later.

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 Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things in a different size or shape?
Yes. The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things 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 119.5 x 139.5 cm (47 x 54.9 in).
