REPLICAS
Copying a master painting is one of the most rewarding ways to learn the craft of painting. All of the artists that are displayed in the 19th Century galleries at the Metropolitan did copying in a museum.

Some of the paintings you'll see in a museum are, in fact, copies, or replicas, of their own work, done by the artist or his assistants.

Sizes shown are for my replicas, not the originals.
