The Technique​

​

When an artist copies an art work it’s called an art reproduction or reproduction oil painting or simply replica art.

 

Artists have been copying art since the 15th century with copies of woodblock illustrations. Even, the famous Italian painter, Raphael who was impressed with copper engravings had prints made of his own designs. However, it’s the hand painted art copies of famous paintings that have really begun to flourish in the 21st century.

 

Art reproduction, otherwise known as art replicas, fine art reproductions, reproduction oil paintings, art copies, are just that – they are copies of usually well-known paintings that are hand-painted by a professional artist.
