The craft

How a masterpiece is reproduced

Our reproductions are 100% hand-painted from scratch by experienced artists, using the same methods the original was painted with. We do not use computer processes such as giclée printing or canvas transfers. The artist rebuilds the original texture and brushstrokes from experience and study: if you order Klimt's The Kiss, we paint it with Klimt's techniques to get as close as possible to his original.

Every painting starts with a sketch and gains detail and colour layer by layer until the finished work is ready for a final inspection, then photographed for your approval.

  • Same techniques and oil colours as the original
  • Real brushwork and texture, never a flat print
  • Photographed for your approval before it ships
  • Any painting by any artist on request
