Own a stunning reproduction of Diana and Apollo Killing Niobe’s Children by Jacques-Louis David, painted in 1772—an awe-inspiring example of mythological tragedy brought to life through Neoclassical grandeur. This emotionally charged masterpiece depicts the moment the gods Diana and Apollo exact revenge on Niobe by slaughtering her children, a punishment for her arrogance against the goddess Leto.

Commissioned during David’s time in Rome as part of his Prix de Rome scholarship, this epic scene blends dynamic movement, expressive figures, and dramatic lighting, all hallmarks of David’s early genius. The chaos of the massacre is contrasted by Niobe’s desperate gesture to protect her children, making this painting a timeless meditation on hubris and divine wrath.

The original painting is housed in the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, and measures an impressive 178.4 cm × 122.7 cm(approx. 70.2 in × 48.3 in). Our skilled artists create 100% hand-painted oil reproductions on premium canvas, preserving every dramatic detail. Various sizes are available, and we provide a final photograph of the finished painting before arranging secure worldwide shipping.

• Hanging your painting:

  Oil painting reproductions are dispatched un-stretched and un-framed. They come with plenty of excess canvas so they can be easily framed or stretched.

  The most common way is to stretch your painting over wooden stretcher bars. The images below illustrate two ways this could be done with blank canvas sides or with painted sides.

  

  You can either get your painting stretched or framed at a local framing store or stretch it yourself easily and cheaply by doing it yourself following our online guide.
