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.


Raphael, one of the great masters of the XVI century in Italy, was one of the most qualified Renaissance painters and architects. Born at the end of March 1483, he produced multiple works of art and was admired for the clarity of form, aesthetics of the ideal of human grandeur, and the ease of composition.
He died at a young age, 37 years old, and was responsible for multiple magnificent works of art, most of them in the years that he spent in Rome, doing commissioned artwork for the two Popes: Julius II and Leo X. In his work, he was known for being influenced by some of the other great masters of his time, like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, forming the sacred trinity of great masters of one of the most prolific times for the arts.
His career can be separated into three phases, with more emphasis on the last one. His early years in Umbria, where he was placed under Pietro Perugino as an apprentice, "despite the tears of his mother." The second phase was between 1504 and 1508, learning and evolving the artistic traditions of Florence, and the last and triumphant one in Rome, working for the Popes and their associates.
The painting Portrait of Bindo Altoviti is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art of Washington DC, and the painting was completed around 1515 by Raphael. Bindo Altoviti was a wealthy banker, one of the most influential papal bankers of his generation. He was also a close friend of Vasari, Cellini, Michelangelo, and Raphael. This magnificent work was the property of the Altoviti family until the XIX century until it was sold to the King of Bavaria, Ludwig I, in 1808. It remained in the German art museum, Alte Pinakothek, until the Second World War, when it was negotiated by smart English art dealers, taking it out of Nazi hands before they could sell it.
The delicate and detailed oil painting of Altoviti shows us the Pope's banker in an almost feminine position, a trace that is not common in Raphael's work. Adding to that, the massive contrast and the different usage of shadows and lights indicate a heavy influence from Leonardo Da Vinci, with whom he was studying in the last few years of his career.
