The hand behind it
Paul Delaroche
Paul Delaroche painted history as human drama. He chose tense, private moments, often from English and French history, and painted them with smooth finish, careful detail and quiet, theatrical lighting, so that the viewer feels like a witness to the scene. He was born in Paris in 1797 and became one of the most popular painters in France in the 1830s. His Execution of Lady Jane Grey, in the National Gallery in London, and The Princes in the Tower, in the Louvre, are his best known works. He painted the vast Hémicycle at the École des Beaux-Arts, a gathering of great artists of the past, and taught many pupils, including Jean-Léon Gérôme and Jean-François Millet. His Bonaparte Crossing the Alps shows Napoleon on a mule, cold and tired, a deliberate contrast to David’s rearing horse. It hangs in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. He died in Paris in 1856.

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 State Barge of Cardinal Richelieu on the Rhone in a different size or shape?
Yes. The State Barge of Cardinal Richelieu on the Rhone 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 57.2 x 97.3 cm (22.5 x 38.3 in).
