<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\nThe Rape of Europe \u2013 Fernando Botero<\/h2>\n
The Rape of Europe is a 1994 painting by Fernando Botero: a black bull in an arena carries the full-figured nude Europa with long dark hair on its back. We paint our hand-painted study of The Rape of Europe to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 \u00d7 50 cm to 150 \u00d7 170 cm or in a custom size. Before The Rape of Europe is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.<\/p>\n
What does The Rape of Europe show?<\/h3>\n
In The Rape of Europe a large black bull with pale horns stands in the middle of a sandy arena under a dark sky, and a full-figured nude woman with long dark hair lies on her back across it, holding one horn while her legs hang over the bull’s flank. Botero moved the Greek myth of Zeus, who turned into a bull and carried Europa away, into the bullring of his Colombia, which is why The Rape of Europe feels dramatic, sensual and unusual.<\/p>\n
How is our hand-painted study of The Rape of Europe made?<\/h3>\n
Our painters paint the study of The Rape of Europe 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 The Rape of Europe has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When The Rape of Europe is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.<\/p>\n
Which size of The Rape of Europe suits your room?<\/h3>\n
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose The Rape of Europe in 100 \u00d7 120 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 \u00d7 50 cm. The Rape of Europe is available in 40 \u00d7 50 cm, 50 \u00d7 60 cm, 60 \u00d7 70 cm, 70 \u00d7 80 cm, 80 \u00d7 90 cm, 100 \u00d7 120 cm, 120 \u00d7 140 cm and 150 \u00d7 170 cm. A simple rule for The Rape of Europe: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.<\/p>\n
How does The Rape of Europe arrive, and when?<\/h3>\n
We ship The Rape of Europe rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed \u2013 you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of The Rape of Europe are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of The Rape of Europe is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of The Rape of Europe painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.<\/p>\n
Frequently asked questions about The Rape of Europe<\/h3>\nIs The Rape of Europe a print?<\/h4>\n
No. Every brushstroke of The Rape of Europe is painted by hand on canvas, so the paint visibly stands up from the surface.<\/p>\n
Can I order The Rape of Europe in a size that is not listed?<\/h4>\n
Yes. We also paint The Rape of Europe in a custom size; enter the width and height you want when you order The Rape of Europe.<\/p>\n
What story does The Rape of Europe tell?<\/h4>\n
In the Greek myth Zeus turned into a bull and carried off the Phoenician princess Europa on his back; the title uses rape in its old sense of abduction, and our continent is named after her.<\/p>\n
