The Art of Painting

The Art of Painting (1668) by Johannes Vermeer, also known as The Allegory of Painting, or Painter in his Studio, depicts an artist painting a woman dressed in blue. Rich in iconography, it is considered his most complex work. The model is standing by a window, in front of a large map on the wall. The map, published by Claes Janszoon Visscher in 1636, shows the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands, flanked by 20 views of prominent Dutch cities. The painter is believed to be a self-portrait.

Without A Frame

Ready to Hang Canvas

Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.

Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

With a Frame

Canvas Float Frame

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. Float frames feature a visible gap ("float") between the frame and canvas. No glass/glazing is used - canvases have a mildly reflective satin finish.
