Phi-Artiste-Peintre offers you the creation of copies of Masters from the modern era (16th-18th century).

 Reproduction of a master's work is regulated. Thus the copy must be clearly identified as such to avoid any confusion with the original. This may include affixing a note such as "Copy after [Name of Master]" on the finished work. It also requires modifying the format of the original work.

 To copy a masterpiece is to enter into the creative intimacy of a painter's genius, to feel the weight of each decision, to absorb each nuance, each movement. It is also, as a copyist, to choose your frame and your technique carefully. It is a job that takes time, which requires planning deadlines.

 The levels of precision of a copy of an old painting can be evaluated in different ways: several parameters come into play such as fidelity to the composition, to the guiding movements, to the drawing, to the line, to the color palette, to the location of shadows and lights, and ultimately , to the overall impression - the "spirit" of the work, the "spirit" of the copy. The question of technique is also essential but leads to a reflection on the "reconstructions" or "recreations" of paintings. Each parameter can be examined in terms of a percentage even if this quantitative approach quickly becomes limiting and difficult to evaluate.

 In a word, the quality of a copy made by Phi-Artiste-Peintre will vary depending on the time allowed and the budget allocated to the painter. For this reason, any order requires a prior discussion and the preparation of a quote.
