For artworks or reproductions larger than 105 cm (approximately 41 inches) on any side, the frame will be shipped as a kit, disassembled. This method ensures safe delivery and prevents damage during transport.
Professional assembly required - this is not a DIY product.
The kit must be assembled and the canvas stretched by an experienced professional framer, using wood glue (not supplied), a canvas stretching plier and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries. Incorrect assembly or uneven canvas tension can permanently damage the artwork and is not covered by our warranty.
All solid wood bars are included, precisely cut to size.
Assembled with the screws provided, plus wood glue for the corner joints, which is not supplied and must be sourced by your framer.
Professional tools are required and not included: a canvas stretching plier (tensioner) and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries.
Important:
The corner joints require wood glue, the bars must be held with clamps until the glue is fully dry, and tightening the canvas on the assembled frame requires a canvas stretching plier. None of these are included in the kit. Please arrange an experienced professional framer before ordering this size.

Artist Biography
François Flameng: A Life in Art
Early Life and Education
- Born: 1856, France.
- François Léopold Flameng was the son of Léopold Flameng, a celebrated engraver. This familial connection provided him with an early and thorough education in artistic techniques.
- He attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts, where he studied under Alexandre Cabanel.
- From 1870, Flameng began creating reproductions of works by renowned artists for the Durand-Ruel gallery catalogue.
Artistic Development and Style
- Flameng initially gained recognition for his history paintings and portraiture. His early style was firmly rooted in academic tradition, emphasizing precise draftsmanship and realistic representation.
- He exhibited at the Salon for the first time in 1875 with “The Lectern,” marking a significant step in his career.
- His work evolved over time to encompass broader themes, including depictions of military life and scenes from contemporary society.
Major Achievements and Commissions
- Flameng became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, demonstrating his standing within the artistic community.
- He received important commissions to decorate prominent civic buildings such as the Sorbonne and the Opéra-Comique.
- In 1891, he designed sketches for France’s first four-color bank notes (though the initial 1000 Franc note design wasn't issued until later in a modified form).
- He was invited to Russia in 1894 by Tsar Alexander III to paint portraits of members of the Imperial Court.
- In 1900, he created a decorative mural of Paris for Le Train Bleu, the restaurant at the Gare de Lyon.
- He was granted France’s highest civilian honor, the Légion d'Honneur.
- In 1908, he became an honorary commander of the Royal Victorian Order.
World War I and Later Work
- Flameng’s work took on a new dimension during World War I. He was named honorary president of the Society of Military Painters and an accredited documenter for the war ministry.
- His paintings from this period, while realistic, were initially criticized by some for lacking heroic drama – a testament to his commitment to portraying the realities of war.
- Many of these war paintings were later donated to the Musée de l'Armée.
- In 1919, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an honorary corresponding academician.
Personal Life and Legacy
- Flameng married Marguerite Henriette Augusta Turquet in 1881. Their daughter, Marie, married tennis star Max Decugis, whom Flameng also painted.
- He was a friend of John Singer Sargent, who painted his portrait, and traveled with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Victor Clairin in Italy.
- François Flameng died in 1923, leaving behind a diverse body of work that reflects the artistic and historical currents of his time. His paintings offer valuable insights into French society during the Belle Époque and the realities of World War I.
