Portrait Of An Old Man Replica On Canvas
With reverence to Holland’s most distinguished artist, we take great pride in producing exact replicas of his work. All of our painters are expertly trained in his style, with deep knowledge in all of his techniques such as impasto, colour mixing, rhythm of application, and brush strokes.
A Time Before Colour
During his stay in
Nuenen and
Antwerp, Van Gogh produced paintings and drawings with muted colours. He took great care to study
peasants and their daily way of life, so that he could reproduce their images on canvas.
Therefore, his paintings mostly consisted of dark earthy colours and muted palettes. After he moved to Antwerp, he began studying colour theory, particularly the work of Peter Paul Rubens.
This broadened his usage of colours from the usual browns to include a variety of other colours, such as carmine, cobalt blue, and emerald green. This helped him produce later pieces such as the
Sunflower series, which he became so famous for.
With Craft And Passion
During his stay in Antwerp, Van Gogh was struggling to feed himself, since he spent most of the money that his brother sent him for painting materials. In order to gain some extra money, he offered to paint
portraits for anyone willing to sit for them.
