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.
The genius Michelangelo was one of the most famous and talented artists from the High Renaissance era. Born in 1475, in the Florence region, sculpting was his greatest passion. Even with his low opinion on paintings, he produced some of the most celebrated frescoes of all time, most of them in the Vatican. With the completion and perfection of the Sistine Chapel, he earned the title of Il Divino, reflecting his talent and capacity to transmit awe to the viewers of his masterworks.
Using the technique called al fresco, Michelangelo Buonarroti painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between the years of 1508 and 1512. This masterpiece is the most famous work from the great master and was commissioned by Pope Julius II, known as the Warrior Pope. The set of paintings depicts multiple scenes taken from the Holy Bible.
With stories dating from before the Trojan wars, the Delphic Sibyl is one of the twelve prophets who had anticipated Christ’s birth and his journey, painted on the ceiling. With astonishing powers, the Sybil, also known as Herophile Sibyl, was the first one to foresee the arrival of the most beloved child of God. In mythology, it is said that she is one of the early Sybil prophets, and she made her prediction from the famous Sybil rock, close to the Apolo’s temple, in Delphi. With accurate revelations, she was cherished and adored, granting her fame and status in the ancient world.
With a lovely and young face, the Sybil was painted with the traditional and huge talent that was trademark from Michelangelo. Sitting in a stone throne, she is depicted with a relaxed pose. The woman has one foot exposed upfront, and the other one covered in her green silk. She is seen holding a scroll with the predictions that she has to do, and is resting her other hand on her right leg. The Delphic woman is turning her head to the left, paying attention to the ones listening to her prophecies, and she seems to be worried.
Behind her, her assistant is portrayed, a muscular and, at the same time, delicate putto, reading from a book the holy words that the prophet should spread. Surrounding the woman and the cherubim, there are two statues at both their sides and below her and a text identifying who she was in Latin.

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.

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.
