Artwork Description

The All Pervading by George Frederick Watts, 1888-1890

Framed Canvas Art

Within The All Pervading, Watts presents a monumental figure draped in luminous golden robes, cradling the terrestrial sphere within protective hands while seated within a cosmic mandorla of deep ultramarine and charcoal. The painting's mystical subject emerges from Watts' distinctive application of paint in rich, sculptural layers that create an almost relief-like quality across the figure's flowing drapery; warm amber and ochre tones suffuse the central form while cool blue-gray shadows define the architectural framework surrounding this divine presence. This work exemplifies Watts' mature period approach to Symbolist painting, where his thick impasto technique and earth-toned palette serve his philosophical vision of universal consciousness made manifest in painterly form.

Read full artwork description

Created during the height of Watts' exploration of cosmic themes in the late 1880s, this painting emerged from his profound engagement with Eastern philosophy and his desire to visualize abstract concepts of divine omnipresence through allegorical imagery. Watts conceived this work as part of his larger project to create a visual theology that could speak to Victorian audiences increasingly questioning traditional religious frameworks; the painting's androgynous central figure reflects his belief that divine consciousness transcended human categories of gender and form. The composition's architectural elements draw from both Christian and Buddhist iconographic traditions, positioning Watts within the broader Symbolist movement that sought to express spiritual truths through evocative visual metaphor rather than literal representation.

Our archival giclee reproduction captures the extraordinary textural complexity of Watts' brushwork, preserving the subtle gradations from the warm golden highlights across the figure's robes to the deep shadows that model the cosmic architecture. The printing process faithfully renders the painting's distinctive surface quality, where Watts built up paint in thick applications that create an almost sculptural presence; details like the delicate modeling of the hands cradling the globe and the intricate folds of drapery maintain their original dimensional quality. Digitally restored from high-resolution museum photography, this canvas preserves the full tonal range from the deepest ultramarine passages to the luminous amber highlights that poster reproductions flatten into uniform color fields. The ornate composite frame's warm bronze finish harmonizes beautifully with the painting's golden palette while providing elegant contrast to the cooler background tones.

Digital Restoration

Many older painting have lost their vibrancy with age as varnish yellows and dirt accumulates. Our artisans use the latest in digital technology to restore these masterpieces to their former glory.

Fredrix Canvas with HP Latex Inks

All of our reproductions are printed on archival quality Fredrix poly/cotton blend canvas for longevity and vibrancy. This canvas has a more traditional look and feel compared to the 100% polyester "canvas" used by some competitors .

HP Latex Inks are non toxic and environmentally friendly compared to harsh, solvent based inks while still providing excellent range throughout the color gamut.

Poplar Stretcher Frame

Our stretcher frame is kiln dried Poplar that has been sustainably harvested from sawmills in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia and is Appalachian Hardwood Verified Sustainable by the AMHI.

This is the best stretcher frame available and is far superior to the MDF and imported pine used by many competitors.

Premium Resin Frames

We exclusively use premium resin frames imported from South Korea, the world leader in this frame type. See The Frame for more information.

Frames are cut by our craftsmen on industry standard 14" Pistorious Double Miter saws for perfect cuts every time.

Perfect Corners

Frames and stretcher frames are joined carefully and precisely by our trained staff. We use only the finest in programmable, Italian joiners for all of our frames.

Hand Stretched

Our canvases are stretched by hand for an authentic touch of Old World craftsmanship.

Hand Embellished

Our artisans add clear gesso embellishments over the entire canvas to bring an unrivaled level of authenticity to our reproductions. The embellishments add a depth and dimensionality that is breathtaking.

Assembled With Pride

The stretched and embellished canvas is carefully secured to the frame with furniture grade staples and plywood corner gussets are added to the frame for additional structural integrity.

Dust Cover and Wire Hardware

A kraft paper dust cover is added to the back of the artwork for a clean, professional finish and a stout wire and hanging hardware is installed for ease of hanging when you receive your Canvas Classics painting.

Your artwork is given a final quality assurance check before it is professionally packed for shipping to its new forever home.
