Apotheosis of Hercules
The Apotheosis of Hercules by Francois Lemoyne, 1733-1736, Oil on canvas at the Hercules Salon, Grand Apartment in the Palace of Versailles, France. Image taken on location by Minerva Bloom. This recently restored ceiling of the Hercules Salon, some 480 square metres of surface area, is one of the largest paintings ever executed. Francois Lemoyne accomplished a veritable feat, for he painted it almost entirely alone during three long years. It earned him the coveted title of First Painter to the King, yet the exhausted artist committed suicide shortly afterwards. The ceiling is not a fresco, because the paint was applied to canvas rather than directly onto plaster. Some 140 figures, representing Olympus, attend the triumphant arrival of Hercules, a hero whose successful labours have raised him to the rank of god (an allusion to the merits of the French king).

Looked great and was perfect for my Nana's 99th it arrived super quick so much quicker than sending the original from the other side of the world! My Nan loved my artwork too and the picture of us inside helped her remember who I was as she has Alzheimer's. Crisp and clear. Bright and colorful true to the original artwork I created. The photo we placed inside also looked great and clear.

This was used as a Mother's Day card and my mother absolutely loved it! The artwork and attention to detail is stunning. It's as if the hare could jump right out of the card at any moment. The print quality and colours are of a very high standard and show the beautiful hare in commendable detail.
