Heaven?s Loss: Artwork By Ron Dicianni

Each piece is framed by hand with natural products so there is no standard framed dimension. However, a good rule of thumb is to add approx 8 inches to each dimension in the drop-down menu for the overall size when framed. For example a 17x23 print/canvas would be 25x31 inches with the frame.

Luke 2:4-20

The first Christmas was a blessing and a time of rejoicing for mankind. The Savior was born! However, in Heaven a different story was unfolding. The first Christmas represents a loss for Heaven as one of the Godhead came to Earth. Heaven's Loss dramatically depicts that while mankind was celebrating the birth of a King, the angels were weeping for they knew what man did not. They knew Jesus was not born for Christmas - He was born for Easter. Heaven's Loss stands as the perfect contrast to the bacchanalia that is the modern day Christmas celebration and is one of Ron DiCianni's most impactful pieces.

ARTIST NOTE:

The nativity has been painted by countless artists throughout the ages. Mostly, I would guess they portrayed a "romantic" version that is closer to what we want to believe than what might have actually occurred. But no matter what the outward circumstances were, no one who was there could have been aware of the profound meaning of that night or of that Baby - nobody except perhaps the unseen visitors who stood in awesome vigil for the Baby they already had known for centuries as the "King Of Kings and Lord of Lords."

Faith isn't a fad - it's a heritage. That's why Tapestry's master craftsmen use the highest quality printing process and materials - right here in the USA - to create your Fine Art Reproductions.

Our canvases are archival quality - whether you're inspiring faith in your church, your community, or in your home, your Ron DiCianni artwork will last for generations. And did we mention they're gorgeous? Our printing is so true to the original, you can see every brush stroke. This is artwork that will pay dividends for years to come.

When will I receive my artwork? Once we receive your order, our craftsmen (right here in the USA) make your artwork by hand, just for you. Shipping times vary based on what type of print you choose: naturally, if our master craftsmen are framing your art, it will take longer than if you choose an unstretched canvas that you'll take to your local frame shop.

We print, coat, cut, stretch, join, frame and finish all of the pieces right here. No big fancy automated machines. Our prints are stretched by hand, our frames are assembled at the hands of a craftsman with years of experience. But that takes anywhere between 2-6 weeks depending on the time of year.
