Edward Hopper – Summertime
Summertime – Edward Hopper
Summertime is a painting by Edward Hopper: a young woman in a white summer dress stands on the steps in front of the entrance to a stone house. We paint our hand-painted study of Summertime to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 10 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 120 × 180 cm or in a custom size. Before Summertime is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Summertime show?
Summertime shows a young woman in a sheer white dress and a straw hat standing on the steps between two columns, while strong sun draws sharp shadows across the grey stone. On the left are windows with white curtains moved by the wind, and behind her a dark doorway. Hopper painted city moments of stillness and waiting, which is why Summertime glows with light and breathes a quiet melancholy at once.
How is our hand-painted study of Summertime made?
Our painters paint the study of Summertime by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Summertime has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Summertime is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Summertime suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Summertime in 74 × 112 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 60 cm. Summertime is available in 40 × 60 cm, 50 × 75 cm, 60 × 90 cm, 70 × 105 cm, 74 × 112 cm, 80 × 120 cm, 90 × 135 cm, 100 × 150 cm, 110 × 170 cm and 120 × 180 cm. A simple rule for Summertime: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Summertime arrive, and when?
We ship Summertime rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Summertime are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Summertime is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Summertime painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
