To paint a realistic reproduction of an old or modern master requires of the painter not only great talent and skill in all the traditional painting techniques, but also a high level of academic knowledge relating to their application. Such skills are still taught to this day not in many places but in a number of the Ecoles des Beaux Arts Fine Art Schools and departments often linked to some of the older universities and academies of continental Europe. Mezzo Mondo Fine Art is a panEuropean organisation formed with the express purpose of harnessing the best talent coming from some of these institutions and giving it a voice globally. Our painters are recruited and employed by us directly. Many are highly talented artists in their own right who rely on our support and patronage whilst slowly developing their burgeoning careers. We are based in the part of France which brought into the world Ingres and ToulouseLautrec a region still a haven for artists seeking inspiration from its luminescent landscapes and sundrenched vistas. Nor are we far from the former Mediterranian studios of Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse and a host of celebrated 20th century artists. Steeped in these traditions, it is perhaps unsurprising that we specialise in reproductions of the European, and particularly French, masters from the 16th to the 19th century. Our paintings, each one individually handcrafted by a skilled and dedicated artist, are guaranteed to be of the highest quality and fidelity to the original, but are affordably priced and can be shipped to most International destinations. Our marketing arm including the Arcadian Galleries website acts as an interface between our artists and a worldwide clientele which is predominately based in northern Europe, North America and Australasia. Our artists have studied in some of the most famous museums and academies in Europe, and they paint only using oils or guache, tempera, etc as necessary on the highest quality French or Belgian linen canvas. Where appropriate, to reflect the finish of the originals as closely as possible, a varnish is applied during the final painting and as a surface finish either matt, medium or gloss using traditional Florentine techniques.
