Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 17.6 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 19.9 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 30.3 × 24.6 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Elias Gottlob Haussmann's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 76 × 61 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original is in a private collection. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In Elias Gottlob Haussmann's masterful portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach, painted around 1746/48, we are presented with an image that exudes the essence of baroque gravitas. The great composer stares out at us with a penetrating gaze, his expression one of stern resolve, suggesting a man deeply attuned to the intellectual rigor and emotional depth required by his craft. Haussmann has captured Bach at what is arguably the height of his creative powers, and the portrait is a study in controlled intensity.

The detail in Bach’s attire is rendered with exquisite precision—his black coat, adorned with silver buttons, drapes heavily around his sturdy form, symbolizing the weight of the music he carried within him. The white cravat, tied meticulously at the neck, offers a stark contrast to the darker tones of the painting, drawing our attention immediately to his face, where every furrow and line is etched with the experience of a lifetime devoted to composition.

In his hand, Bach holds a manuscript, a subtle but profound nod to his life's work. This manuscript, tilted just enough for the viewer to glimpse its contents, seems to beckon us into his world of intricate counterpoint and harmonically rich fugues. Haussmann's skill lies not only in the technical execution but in the way he breathes life into the portrait, making Bach seem as if he could, at any moment, step out of the frame and into the room, ready to lecture us on the complexities of a well-tempered clavier.

Got my Haussmann 1748 porträtt of J.S. Bach after only a week with saturday and sunday between and I'm overjoyed with the painting and frame. The painting was very well packed, and it took a while to remove all the cardboard and plastic :) Furthermore, since the painting is already equipped with the classic hanging system—featuring a securely anchored steel wire—it will hang safely and securely on the wall. So, if I had more money—and more wall space to hang all the art that TopArtPrint has to offer—I wouldn’t have hesitated for a second. But then again, who knows what the future holds...

They do beautiful framed art prints. Great packaging for shipment. Vast choice of masterpieces.

My print arrived with a couple of large creases down one side because it hadn't been stretched properly. I emailed the company and provided photo evidence. After a number of days and a chaser email from me, I got a response that the canvas had "shifted in transit"—highly unlikely since it is held in place with strong staples—and that they would send me another print that I would need to attach to a frame. They advised me in an email to "just remove the discredited stretcher and put the new one in its place. The procedure is very simple, take a look at the assembly on the back of the picture you will find it very easy." The thing is held in place to the frame with staples which need to be ripped away and hammered back in. Very simple, indeed. I can't possibly recommend this company; their quality control is substandard and their after-sales service dismissive. I will now have to go to the time and expense of getting the new print framed. Avoid. UPDATE: The seller has now offered to reimburse the cost of having the print reframed.
