Hapenny Bridge, Van Gogh

Oil on Canvas painting. 140x70cm. 150x80cm when framed.

Vincent Van Gogh painted in Amsterdam, Paris, and the South of France. He never made it to Dublin.

However, if he had made it to Dublin, there are two things we know for certain:

1. He would have painted the Hapenny Bridge, and
2.   This is what it would have looked like.

This is a fantastic creation of a modern Van Gogh masterpiece, his iconic deep blue sky, complemented by warm orange/yellow lights, reflected on the riverwater.

Frame choice:

White is by far the most popular choice in framing our paintings. White contrasts with the colours and dark areas, and brings out the highlights. Our three most popular frames are shown below.

Flat white

Example of a flat white frame. Canvas is stretched over a custom-made stretching frame. No need for glass, so you see your painting better. The frame is a contemporary flat white frame which sits directly on the painting.

Floating white

Example of a floating frame in white. Canvas is stretched over a custom-made stretching frame. No need for glass, so you see your painting better. The stretched canvas is then mounted inside an L-shaped frame, so it appears to "float" within the frame. Note the shadow cast by the stretched canvas inside the frame. We also "wrap" a little of the painting around to the left and right, so you see that from the side.

Silver gold

Example of a Silver gold frame. Canvas is stretched over a custom-made stretching frame. No need for glass, so you see your painting better. The frame is a more "dressy" style. Silver leaf, with champagne gold speckles and edge.
