The Artiste de Paris studio creates faithful reproductions of famous works and paintings by the great masters, hand-painted in oil on canvas using classical techniques.
With over 20 years of experience, I offer direct communication with the artist and personalized guidance.
Each painting is crafted with noble materials — linen or cotton canvas, professional-grade pigments, and solid wood stretchers — ensuring a work marked by respect for style, precision of detail, and authentic craftsmanship.

Some of the most popular artists include Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Klimt, Modigliani, Leonardo da Vinci, Ingres, Michelangelo, Caillebotte, and Vermeer. You can also submit another work, as long as it is in the public domain.
A fine art reproduction is entirely hand-painted by a professionally trained artist, using traditional methods — canvas preparation, underpainting, glazing, and final varnish.
Every element — color, texture, and light — is worked meticulously to restore the depth and emotion of the original, far beyond any printed imitation.
Support preparation:
The canvas, made of linen or cotton, is carefully stretched on a wooden stretcher using upholstery tacks (not staples).
Drawing and paint layers:
Successive layers of paint are applied gradually, giving the artwork rich tonal depth.
Final varnish:
Protects and enhances the surface for long-term preservation.
This authentic, artisanal process guarantees faithful, durable, and high-end reproductions.

Commissioning a painting reproduction or portrait involves 6 simple steps:
choosing the artwork (or sending your photo) feasibility check personalized quote confirmation with deposit creation with preview updates secure and careful delivery
Simply provide the name of the artist or painting (e.g. Monet, Van Gogh, Klimt). A quote is prepared according to the size and complexity.
Prices generally range from €440 to €950, depending on size, style, and detail. Each project receives a personalized estimate.
A manual reproduction has brushwork, texture, and tonal nuances — while a print remains flat and lifeless.
All works whose authors have been deceased for more than 70 years are in the public domain — including Monet, Van Gogh, Klimt, Renoir, Brueghel, and Modigliani.
Usually 5 to 8 weeks, depending on complexity and format. A clear timeline is provided upon order.
