Celebrate intellect, partnership, and Enlightenment brilliance with a hand-painted reproduction of Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and His Wife by Jacques-Louis David, painted in 1788. This grand double portrait captures the pioneering chemist Lavoisier—widely considered the father of modern chemistry—and his wife, Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze, who played an essential role as collaborator, translator, and illustrator in his scientific work.

David masterfully balances intimacy and intellect: Marie-Anne rests her hand affectionately on her husband’s shoulder, while Lavoisier looks up at her from his notes with admiration. The table is filled with glassware and instruments of discovery, reinforcing the scene’s deep ties to the scientific revolution and Enlightenment ideals. Their elegant attire and graceful posture add refinement to their intellectual legacy.

The original painting resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and measures 259.7 cm × 194.6 cm(approx. 102.2 in × 76.6 in). At Blue Surf Art, we offer museum-quality oil reproductions, hand-painted on fine canvas by expert artists. A high-resolution photo of the final artwork is provided for approval before shipping. Multiple sizes available. Global shipping included.

  With natural texture, vibrancy, and a sense of luxury a real oil painting makes a great original focal point in any environment. Created with the highest quality materials oil paintings will not only look superior to any print, they will also last longer.

  
• 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.
