| John William Waterhouse |
| The Lady of Shalott |
The lady of Shallot leaves her castle, finds a boat, writes her name on it, sets it adrift, and sings her death song as she drifts down the river to Camelot. The locals find the boat and the body, realize who she is, and are saddened. Lancelot prays that God will have mercy on her soul.
This is one of Tennyson's most popular poems. The Pre-Raphaelites liked to illustrate it. Waterhouse made three separate paintings of "The Lady of Shalott". |

| Edgar Degas |
| Dancers in Pink |
|
Edgar Degas favored subjects in movement as though caught by a candid camera. Degas's style of composition was influenced by photography and by Japanese prints. Although Degas paintings of ballet dancers appear casual and unstudied, the compositions, with their oblique views and asymmetrical balance, were in fact carefully calculated. One such painting - The Pink Dancers, was carefully re - created by our painter, conveying the exact and unique Degas' painting techique - dry brush over texture, bold and carefull lines, one of a kind color tonality. |

| Gustave Klimt |
| Portrait of Adele Bloch - Bauer |
|
This gold-encrusted portrait by Gustav Klimt, one of the world's most recognizable paintings and at the heart of a battle over Nazi-looted art, has been purchased for a record price by a New York museum - $135 million. Upon request of the customer our painter used gold and silver paste, the same that Klimt used in his paintings. |

| Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velazquez |
| Coronation of the Virgin |
|
This classic reproduction of the immense painting of Velazquez was commissioned by one of our customers and turned out to become one of a kind reproduction, carefully replicated by our painter with the exact bold and at the same time precise brushstrokes, which Velazquez was so famous for. |

| Sir Anthony Van Dyck |
| Frans Snyders, 1620 |
|
Van Dyck established a style of characterization that was to persist all over the Europe for more than two centuries: In this reproduction of the portrait of Frans Snyders our painter brought a precise physical likeness into a composition of fluent and elaborate Baroque splendor. Other Van Dyck paintings in particular stimulated English painters, such as Gainsborough, Reynolds and Lawrence. |

| Alfred Glendening |
| A Labour of Love, 1892 |
|
Glendening particularly enjoyed painting views of the Thames, Surrey and Sussex in the Southern Counties, but he also painted young ladies or boys expressing different emotions. |
