The Classics Collection features Thomas Kinkade's most popular images, meticulously reproduced on cotton fiber canvas. We use the same methods and materials as in Thomas Kinkade Limited Edition Canvases. Each piece is elegantly framed with museum - grade materials that match the top frame styles in the Thomas Kinkade Limited Edition canvas collection. And it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The key features include a premium canvas substrate on hardboard, a hardwood frame with a linen liner, an engraved brass nameplate, a steel hanging wire, and of course, the authenticity certificate. The Via Dolorosa has deep spiritual meaning. In the Middle Ages, it was the path where Christ carried His cross. The artist set up his easel at the place marking where Christ received His crown of thorns. Today, it's also a modern street in the Arab part of the old city. While the artist was working, he had an interesting encounter with some small Arab children who playfully threw pebbles at him. Thankfully, local Arab shopkeepers came to his rescue. Later, he bought a decorative tile as a token of gratitude.
To display your Via Dolorosa canvas, simply use the steel hanging wire on the back and hang it on a sturdy nail on your wall. Make sure the wall can support the weight of the framed canvas. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading over time. Dust the canvas gently with a soft, dry cloth every few weeks. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the canvas or the frame. If the frame gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean it, then dry it thoroughly. Always handle the canvas by the frame to avoid touching the surface of the artwork, which could cause damage.
