Art Reproduction on Canvas
 
The art of printing directly onto canvas is a relatively new and highly technical development which has revolutionised the reproduction of works of art. The very special surface of canvas, having a granulation which repeats, in its wide range, the consistency of original paintings, enables the reproduction of the Masters works of art not only in the subtleties of tone and colour of the original, but adding a third dimension in surface texture. This remarkable property, offers to the art printer the possibility to faithfully reproduce, by a special technical approach, the chromatic preciousness typical of the Masters paitings, assuring the colour vibration which can rarely be obtained with other types of reproduction. The effect is still further enhanced by mouting the canvas on a wedged stretcher and framing with no need for glass, achieving a remarkably accurate replica that capturs the full beauty of the artist’s original painting. The canvas consistency assuring that colours will not fade. Makes almost unlimited the life of these superb art replicas, ofthen a good money investment.

Looms
Our looms are handmade and are provided with grooves where keys are inserted to allow the right tension to be achieved on the canvas as required.  

The canvas
The reproduction of excellent and immutable copies of the most famous paintings in oil requires a cotton canvas identical to those used by the painters. They are produced on special looms; and are “prepared” for the chromolithographic reproduction. To receive from 6 to 13 colors is necessary to reproduce the most subtle nuances of the original painting. Chromolithography achieves excellent results at an affordable price because it allows the possibility to realize “multiples of the original”, they are printed one by one, while the previous color wipes.
The firmness and the ductility of the canvas allows for assembly on a loom and to frame without glass, so you can feel the real quality of the original painting.

The touch up
Is an exclusive pictorial technique which faith fully reproduces the brush strokes of the artist. This is carried out by experienced copyists who place them onto the canvas. In this way they can emphasize the depth, tones and softening of the color. With this technique works are affirmed and they are known in the world by the slogan “The best after the original”.

Passeportout
They are a completion for the frame that underlines the gap with the painting. Our passepartout are made with wood, they are finished by a beige color with the internal liner/slip in gold or silver. They are approximately 3.5cms x 3.5cms. We supply them for the small paintings, but there is an option for the larger sizes.  

Plates
They complete the painting that has the passepartout. On the plate is written the name of the painter. They are made by shaped otto of 6 cm width x 8 mm height. They are applied onto the passepartout with two small otto nails.

The certificate
Our reproductions are sent with a certificate of origin that states the quality and the originality of Mondial Art, it show’s the painter’s name, the title of the work, and the size.

Why a reproduction of art is not a painting? Because the originals of our pictures are visible only in a museum or in a private picture gallery. For this reason many people cannot buy them. A person, who appreciates “the beauty”, is not forced to deprive themselves of a work of art because they cannot afford it. A famous painter said: “An excellent reproduction is thousand fold more beautiful as that of an ugly original”!
What is the value of a reproduction? We cannot talk about a mercenary value; it is the same of its real purchase or a bit more. We can say that the real esteem of a reproduction is its faithfulness to the original and every day you can feel the work of the artists in whose genius will live forever.
