The Reproduction Process

All' Ave Maria. The painting by Sargent
Colors used:
All' Ave Maria

John Singer Sargent concluded the watercolor painting entitled All' Ave Maria in 1907. The artist was painting from an early age and was academically trained. By the beginning of his career, he already positively caught the critics eyes. He successfully launched his career as a portrait painter after receiving an Honorable Mention from the Paris Salon for a portrait of his teacher entitled Carolus-Duran.

It was after Duran opened Sargent’s view on artistic production that the painter was able to trust his unique instincts. He gradually let go of the strict regulations imposed by the academies, which were based on the culture of the ancient Greeks. The traditional portraits painted by the artists were more lively as Sargent reached a balance between modern and traditional painting. In 1906, Mary Newbold Singer Sargent, the painter’s mother, passed away in London. Sargent was traveling in the Orient at the time, searching for reference material for the project he was working on at the time – murals about the history of religion for the Boston Public Library. It was after her death that the artist dedicated himself to watercolor painting, eventually mastering the craft.

Sargent was already tired of working with commissioned portraits, especially because he had to engage in conversation and amuse his sitter while he worked, something he didn’t enjoy. He became more interested in different kind of works and decided to stop taking commissioned portraits around the time of his mother’s passing. The painting All' Ave Maria was done with watercolor on paper and is a reflex of the Impressionist influence on the artist. Loosely painted with visible brushstrokes, Sargent gives an impression of what the landscape and figures are.

Earlier in his career, Sargent established a friendship with Claude Oscar Monet, who taught him about modern painting. The Impressionist worked mainly en plein air – or outdoors in French – to observe the effects of natural lighting on a landscape. Scenes with water were popular amongst this group because of the impact of light on its surface. In All' Ave Maria a large classic building was painted in shades of brown and blue on the margins of an Italian river. The people the walk on the sidewalk are painted in pure black, and the blue water reflects the colors of the scene.

Finest Quality Stretching, Gallery Wrap or Framing
Purchasing without a frame (unstreched canvas)

When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.

Purchasing a frame (USA only)

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.

Purchasing a Stretching Service (USA only)

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.

Purchasing a Gallery Wrap (USA only)

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 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.
