Creation Process
We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.
We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.
High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of George Inness also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.
In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.
TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.
We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.
You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.
Delivery
Once the painting The Home at Montclair is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.
We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.
After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.
Museum Quality
The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.
Additional Information
Inness orchestrates the scene through a hushed, almost musical palette. The sky is suffused with amber and muted ochre, releasing a fugitive warmth that trembles above the snow’s cool hush. White is modulated into pearl greys, lilac shadows, and whispered turquoises, each inflection quickened by the waning light. The dialogue between the sky’s burnished glow and the ground’s chill murmur generates a pervasive tension - the interval between day’s last breath and night’s first hush.
Technique deepens mood. Working wet-in-wet, the artist deploys translucent veils of pigment so that under-tones breathe through scarcely tangible skins. Scumbling and feathery dry-brush merge form into atmosphere, dissolving architectural fact into sensation. Only the treetops and the fence receive firmer accents, enough to anchor but never to arrest the eye. Paint becomes a medium of air and after-glow rather than substance, a conduit toward the immaterial.
Composition is distilled to essentials. A lone sapling at the right provides a vertical counterweight to the compact evergreen on the left; between them, the receding fence draws the gaze diagonally toward the distant dwelling and into the luminous sky. Depth arises less from linear perspective than from calibrated recessions of tone, so the eye drifts rather than marches. Space is apprehended as reverie, not geometry.
Painted in the artist’s final year on his Montclair estate, the work exemplifies American Tonalism’s inward-looking poetics and Inness’s late spiritual concerns. Like the Barbizon painters he admired, he sought truth in felt experience, yet moved further, fashioning landscape as vessel for the ineffable. As his son observed, nothing here is overtly dramatic, yet a quiet grandeur unfolds: the ordinary transfigured by the fleeting congress of light, weather, and habitation.
