What is your return policy?
What is your return policy?
You may cancel an order if you are able to communicate the cancellation to us before the products in the order have been put into production (typically within 24 hours).
The best way to reach us is via support@theclssicprints.com
If your order is already in production (meaning we've cut the materials and have begun or completed assembly) , we can refund you 70% of your order total.
This covers the materials and labor we've spent which are difficult to restock due to the nature of each print and frame. For the same reason, we cannot accept returns or provide refunds when we ship your frames and they arrive as ordered and without any visible defects.
If you haven't placed an order yet but are still unsure about our policies, check out our Happiness Guarantee or the full FAQ section that covers this all in more depth.
"Mack (co-founder of Classic Prints) brought some prints over to me and we looked at their print quality. We used loupes (special magnifying tools I used while running a print shop in Phoenix for decades) and I was thoroughly impressed by the print quality. These classic art pieces are the real deal."
The Lore
The Christian Martyrs' Last Prayer, Jean-Léon Gérôme (1883)
Being Christian was a dangerous business in the early days of the faith. Roman Emperors routinely made martyrs of believers in the great circuses, “tied upon crosses and smeared with pitch to feed the flames.” This composition captures the very moment that a wild beast, starved for several days beforehand, is unleashed into the arena.
Gérôme is recognized as a master of the academicist style, but is more appropriately described as a painter with a truly cinematic imagination. His understanding of composition brought history to new life with shocking tension.
It’s a painting that immortalizes the sacrifice of the martyrs in visual terms. They might not have known it then, but in just a few more decades, the cause they died for would bring the Roman Empire to its knees — and change the world irrevocably thereafter.
