Re-creation of an Old Master
Commission me to recreate a timeless masterpiece for your private collection.
Own a faithfully precise, hand-painted reproduction of a painting that you love, but could never possess, imagine those masterpieces forever held in museum collections.
Each of my re-creations are meticulously reproduced using traditional techniques, pigments and materials, remaining faithful to the methods of the Old Masters and capturing not only the exact likeness of the image, but also the spirit and craftsmanship of the original.
OLD MASTER RE-CREATIONS
An Heirloom for Your Collection
A Masterpiece Reimagined for You
Imagine living with a painting of timeless beauty, a work recreated by hand using the same devotion, materials, and layered technique as the original masterpiece.
Each replica I create is not a mechanical reproduction, but a carefully constructed work of art in its own right: painted brushstroke by brushstroke, with the same patience, craft and reverence as the original.
Whether you dream of owning a Caravaggio, a Vermeer, or a work by Titian or Rembrandt, I offer the rare opportunity to bring that vision to life, with museum-quality precision and soul.
Why Collectors Choose This
To commission a hand-painted re-creation is to take part in a centuries-old tradition of artistry and preservation.
In the Renaissance and Baroque eras, collectors often commissioned studio replicas of admired works, not as copies, but as treasures to possess and study.
Today, I continue that legacy using the same time-honoured methods. The surface, transparency and light of a true oil painting simply cannot be replicated by digital print or reproduction.
Each brushstroke connects you to the original artist’s vision, and to the long continuum of craftsmanship that defines Western painting.
What I Offer
A faithful, hand-painted re-creation of a historic masterpiece, crafted using the techniques and materials of the Old Masters.
Authenticity – every stage follows the traditional process: gessoed ground, monochrome underpainting, translucent glazes and final varnish.
Choice of scale and surface – select a size suited to your space, on linen canvas or wooden panel.
Historical accuracy – colour palette, composition, brushwork and finish are studied and matched with care.
Personal collaboration – we discuss the chosen painting, preferred dimensions, and the desired atmosphere for your space.
Documentation & certification – each work is signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and optional progress photographs.
These paintings are heirloom pieces, artworks made to endure, both materially and emotionally.
A re-creation of a masterpiece allows you to experience the full presence of a painting once confined to museum walls. It becomes a centrepiece for your home or collection - a dialogue between past and present.
Every commission is unique, created to order, and destined to become an enduring testament to both craftsmanship and beauty.
