Buying a hand painted canvas just by seeing it on the screen has become commonplace. The emergence of digital galleries democratizes the purchase of artworks online. At the buyer's own risk: how can you tell the difference between the same hand painted canvas when the prices differ by a factor of two?
The big commercial platforms inspire confidence,
The marketing department proposes photos of very good definition which seduce the consumer, the key words of description ("hand painting", "hand painting on canvas"...) reassures on the quality of the product and the purchase is secured.
Disappointment upon delivery
However, it often happens that upon delivery, the product does not live up to expectations: the quality of the canvas, the materials and the format can be disappointing. More insidious, the canvas can be a reproduction on which the seller has simply added a few brush strokes for more realism, more (market) value, ... to clear his name and "deceive the enemy"!
And when you want to return the product, at best you have to pay the return shipping costs; at worst, there is no possibility to contact the after-sales service allowing this return (and the refund of your purchase!)
