Painting Copies
Painted copies are made to order in a professionally equipped studio. The creative process covers every stage of a painting's creation — from preparing the support on panel or canvas, through building up the paint layers, to the final treatment of the surface and the application of varnishes.
Each work is painted entirely by hand, using the traditional technologies and methods characteristic of the old masters. The aim is not only to recreate the painting visually, but also to preserve its authentic expression and technique.
The studio combines conservation experience with artistic practice, offering both the care of historic objects and precise reconstructions and copies of works of art, carried out with respect for the original and its material history.
The original was painted by Leonardo da Vinci around 1489–1490 — a portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, favourite of the Duke of Milan. Today it is one of the most treasured paintings in Poland, held at the Princes Czartoryski Museum (a branch of the National Museum) in Kraków.
