Musicians 2 – Fernando Botero
Musicians 2 is a 1991 painting by Fernando Botero: full-figured musicians and a singer playing together in a small hall. We paint our hand-painted study of Musicians 2 to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 60 × 70 cm to 172 × 200 cm or in a custom size. Before Musicians 2 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Musicians 2 show?
Musicians 2 shows full-figured men in dark suits playing double bass, flute, tuba, violin and piano, while a full-figured singer in a frilled blue dress sings at the front with a microphone in her hand; sheet music lies on the floor. Botero paints the musicians serious and dignified, yet there is gentle humour in their roundness, which is why Musicians 2 feels cheerful and festive.
How is our hand-painted study of Musicians 2 made?
Our painters paint the study of Musicians 2 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 Musicians 2 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Musicians 2 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Musicians 2 suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Musicians 2 in 90 × 100 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 60 × 70 cm. Musicians 2 is available in 60 × 70 cm, 70 × 80 cm, 80 × 90 cm, 90 × 100 cm, 110 × 130 cm, 130 × 150 cm, 150 × 170 cm and 172 × 200 cm. The 172 × 200 cm size of Musicians 2 is the size of the original. A simple rule for Musicians 2: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Musicians 2 arrive, and when?
We ship Musicians 2 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 Musicians 2 are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Musicians 2 is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Musicians 2 painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
