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, created in the year of 1903 during his visit to Litzlberg, is an important piece for the Secession movement in Vienna. Klimt painted The Pear Tree at the peak of his Golden Era, where artists around this time and age were sharply moving away from realistic classic style and perspective and getting into a phase of change and experimentation.
There are prominent characteristics of the Art Nouveau on the geometrically shaped leaves, fruits, and blossoms, and yet the Impressionist style of the color palette might be one of its most striking characteristics.
On the painting, we see one main pear tree on the foreground and a myriad of trees as we move along towards the background. The trunk of the main tree is thoroughly worked with brushstrokes and sponge strokes, and we can see a variety of colors. Light and dark, cold browns not only shape the trunk and branches but also show volume and texture. There is also some moss painted on a warm, bright green moving towards the treetop. The other trunks fade into the distant, and not only are slimmer but also were painted with a more limited palette, either dark or light brown, helping the eye of the viewer to be guided towards the main tree.
The leaves, pears, and blossoms occupy the main space of the painting and are the first thing that pops into the viewer’s eye. A majestic rounded treetop carefully detailed with thousands of small brushstrokes and dots crowns the larger trunk in the front. The stroke of the brush forms perfect pear shapes and at the same time create an Impressionist dotted style of color. Despite a large area of the painting being the flat rounded crown of the frontal tree, there is a sensation of perspective, as the artist shrunk the dots and strokes towards the background, where we can see smaller fruits and leaves.
The pears are painted in a vibrant yellow, and they are easy to spot in the middle of the leafy green bush. The rest of the volume of the treetop is designed in lavender, blue, and green. The delicate color work becomes more evident as we step back from the painting and observe the carefully composed lightness of this painting. It’s easy to spot the sun beaming right to left, the right volume of the treetop being lighter and brighter, and the shades of lavender blue gaining area and volume as we move the eye to the left of the piece.
The image of the encumbered trees is kept to the end of the perspective lines. The strokes get smaller, but the diversity of colors and dots is maintained.
This oil on canvas is currently on display in the Fogg Art Museum, in Harvard University.

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.
