Frequently asked questions about copies of paintings and portraits
What is a hand-painted painting reproduction?
A hand-painted painting reproduction is created by an artist using traditional techniques, such as oil painting on canvas. Unlike digital prints, each brushstroke is unique, resulting in an authentic and durable finish.
What is the difference between a painted reproduction and a print?
A hand-painted reproduction uses traditional painting materials and techniques, while a print is simply an image that has been printed. The reproduction is more vivid, textured, and closer to the original.
How much does a hand-painted copy of a painting cost?
The price of a hand-painted copy of a painting or portrait generally varies between €320 and €950, depending on the format, complexity, and subject. As each project is unique, a personalized quote is provided to refine the price.

Is it legal to request a replica of a famous painting?
Yes, copying old works is completely legal when they are in the public domain. Works whose authors have been dead for more than 70 years can be freely reproduced, offering a wide choice ranging from Monet and Van Gogh to Modigliani and Brueghel.
