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.
This painting, produced in 1897, shows the Boulevard Montmartre on a quaint Spring afternoon. Camille Pissarro painted around fourteen works between February and April of this year, portraying the same street, most of them representing the same view from this building. To do this, he checked into a hotel, and from there, he would capture the view from his window. The fact that so many of the paintings show a similar place or a similar view of the same place let us learn more about the subtle differences between these paintings.
This series shows Pissarro’s unique ability to seize moments of the day or seasons of the year. His relationship with color and shadow went way beyond just capturing the format or volume of an object.
The Impressionists were focusing their work on the color palette and in creating contrast between light and shadow using complementary colors. Pissarro went further. The artist managed to register subtle changes in the moments of the day or season of the year.
This painting is mostly warm and gracious. The view from the Boulevard Montmartre is the same captured in the painting Boulevard Montmartre; Night Effect, which would be the view the artist got from his hotel.
Thus, we are facing the street from a one-point perspective again. The focal point is positioned in the middle of the horizon line, a little bit to the left. We can follow the street direction, the lamps, the trees, and even the buildings through the painting until they fade on the horizon.
Tall and large buildings frame the street. The front side of the commerce on the sidewalk is all adorned with canopies and tables, the stereotypical Parisian architecture. There are some phone booths and wagons around the street and the street. The buildings are warm and yellow, they rooftops are dark grey, and there are a lot of chimneys colored in brick red.
Most of the palette is warm and yellow. Thus the treetops, painted on a vivid tone of grass green, stand out alone.
The sky on the back is painted in tones of lilac and white. Despite the chosen palette, its tonnes are also warm, contributing to this Spring afternoon feeling. The painting has a very heartfelt and tender feel.

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.
