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.

How do I place an order?

You can contact me via the form or by phone. Simply send me your photo or specify the painting you want. I will then provide you with a quote, the format, and the ordering details.

❯ All the details for ordering

How long does it take to complete a painting?

The time frame varies depending on the size and complexity of the order, generally between 5 and 8 weeks. A precise schedule is defined when the order is placed.

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.
