FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
A cursory glance at the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani’s body of work would inform the observer that it consists in its vast majority, almost totality, of portraits and the odd nude. Here we have a very uncommon landscape, or cityscape, rather, in what seems to be a short yet exciting sally into a new genre.
Painted in 1918, during Modigliani’s protracted season spent in Nice and Cagnes-sur-Mer with his life partner Jeanne Hébuterne and some of his fellow artists in an attempt to rescue his much-ravaged health, victimized by a case of tubercular meningitis that would claim his life two years hence and, indirectly, a pregnant Jeanne’s life as well, for, having found that her partner was gone, she launched herself from a third floor window, killing herself in dismay. Yet, although the darkness that surrounded Modigliani’s life, one plagued by vices such as alcohol and women, usually came through indirectly in the sobriety of his work, which would, with time, become increasingly somber and dispassionate, with the characters portrayed therein having blank empty eyes upon which the observer can project their own emotions, in empty nondescript rooms that allowed the observer to place it anywhere in their imagination. And it is in that last aspect that we can find a connection to this brief sally into landscape painting.
What is meant by this is that the landscape portrayed is not a famous landmark or a unique vantage point, but instead a rather ordinary and anonymous construction that bears the only description of being located in the Midi, which encompasses most of the South of France. That way, by offering almost no information about the subject matter, Modigliani enables the observer to project onto the landscape their own imagination and story, meaning that the scene does not have the objective of portraying a specific place, but instead of creating a partially constructed story for the observer to complete with their imagination and experiences.
Nor is the yellow two-storied house depicted therein, surrounded by tall walls and facing a small dirt road as it is, in any way representative of the region or its culture. Modigliani doesn’t seem to be attempting here to honor or pay tribute to the local architecture, but instead to record what was maybe a moment of reflection for him, opening that same visual window to his public.

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.
Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.
If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.
If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.
All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
Unframed paintings are covered with a special protective film, are gently rolled and then placed inside a strong specially designed tube.
Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
