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.
Raffaello Sanzio, later known just as Raphael, was born in Italy in March of 1483, in the city of Urbino. Child of the court painter of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, Giovanni Santi, he displayed all his potential and talent from an early age. With his father, he learned the basics of art and, after his death, assumed the responsibility for his workshop, at eleven years old.
The Prince of Paintings, sobriquet given by Giorgio Vasari, a renowned biographer from the XVI century, became Pietro Perugino's apprentice at his workshop. One could not say who made which painting. Sanzio's skills were remarkable, allowing him to replicate his master's techniques and finish their works without issues. In the year 1500, he was then crowned as a great master, acknowledging his capabilities both as a painter and architect.
In Florence, Raphael has absorbed the local and mythical art and culture, without changing his own personal style. After four productive years, he moved to Rome commissioned first by Pope Julius II, and later by Pope Leo X. The artist was responsible for multiple masterpieces, legends like the Stanza della Segnatura or Raphael Rooms, the Galatea, various frescoes and oil paintings that were displayed in churches, as well as his famous Madonnas.
This astonishing fresco is part of the paintings made by Raffaello in the Apostolic Palace, Vatican. Commissioned by Pope Leo X, who continued to request work from the great master after Julius II's death, the lunette is in one of the Stanze di Raffaello.
This painting is representing the rescue of Saint Peter from King Herod's prison by an angel, as it is told in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter XII. While incarcerated, the Prince of the Apostles was held chained to two guards. The composition is separated into three symmetric parts, and centered on the scene he represents the moment that the angel, with his bright aura, wakes St. Peter and guides him through the sleeping guards.
On the left, one guard has noticed the escape and wakes his partner, pointing to the room, illuminated by the angel's presence. At the right, the moment where the saint and his rescuer leave the building through the stairs can be seen, departing unhurt.
Raphael granted his team of assistants a greater role in this commission. With the increasing number of requests that the great master was receiving, most indicated by the clergy, Sanzio had to share more work with his workshop. It can be noticed the work of Giulio Romano, his most talented and faithful assistants, in this fresco.
