How a Hand-Painted Oil of Ingres’s Grande Odalisque Looks in a Room
How a hand-painted oil of Ingres’s Grande Odalisque looks in a room: the Louvre length, the back, and the wall it needs.
ReplicArt is a studio for made-to-order hand-painted oil paintings. We work in oil on canvas. Every piece is painted by a copyist. Nothing is printed, and nothing waits in stock. When you place an order, the painting begins, and the finished work is made for you alone.
We offer two kinds of work.
Custom oil paintings
When you want a painting that does not yet exist, you can bring us a photograph—a portrait, a place that matters to you, or a creative reinterpretation of a picture you already know. If the sizes we list do not fit the wall or the idea, we work to the proportions you need. The painting grows from your reference and the scale you choose. This is the part of the studio that feels most personal: the work exists only because you asked for it. If you want company in shaping the composition, the cropping, or the overall direction, we work with you on the design before the first brushstroke.
Public-domain reproductions
You can also choose from the catalog, which centers on works that have entered the public domain. You select a size, and a copyist paints it in oil on canvas. What arrives is a hand-painted surface with real brushwork and the texture of paint, never a print.
The process is the same for both.
A painting typically takes three to four weeks. When the work is finished we send photographs for your approval. Revisions remain possible until you are satisfied, and only then does the painting leave the studio.
Along the way you can add designing, stretching, varnishing, aging, or framing. These options are priced separately and can be chosen independently.
Prices begin around $200 and rise with size. Orders over $300 ship free within the United States.
The studio began in 2020 with two of us in Paris and one in New York. We were three friends drawn to the way light moves across the texture of oil paint, something a print cannot hold. When we looked for true hand-painted work, claims of quality and reliability often fell short. That experience is what led us to start ReplicArt. In the years that followed we sought out copyists across the United States, Europe, and Asia, taking time to work only with painters whose handling of color, texture, and the particular demands of different styles matched the care we wanted for every piece that leaves the studio.
