Walk Through the Hills – Fernando Botero
Walk Through the Hills is a 1977 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured priest in a black cassock with a parasol and rosary walks in green hills. We paint our hand-painted study of Walk Through the Hills to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 75 cm to 110 × 200 cm or in a custom size. Before Walk Through the Hills is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Walk Through the Hills show?
In Walk Through the Hills a round priest in a long black cassock with a violet sash and a black hat stands on a green meadow, holding a black parasol over his head and a rosary with a cross in his other hand, while soft green hills roll behind him under a grey-blue sky with clouds. Botero painted a priest walking alone in nature with quiet humour, which is why Walk Through the Hills feels calm, friendly and a little comic.
How is our hand-painted study of Walk Through the Hills made?
Our painters paint the study of Walk Through the Hills 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 Walk Through the Hills has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Walk Through the Hills is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
