Oil Painting Reproduction

Hi,

I am looking to get oil paint reproduction made of the Season Pic2 by Arcimboldo Giuseppe.

While there are online sites that offer this, I would prefer to get it done through a local artist.

However I don't know any artists or know anything about where to start looking from. Can anyone who has had such work done before give me some tips.

Thanks.

That would be very expensive to get done at the quality I am guessing you are expecting through a local artist. I'd say conservatively, 5K bare minimum. If you are OK with a bad repro, maybe 2-3K. Chinese sweat-shop is your best bet.

What hoponpop said , and......It comes with "The Certificate of Authenticity which arrives with every painting provides an assurance and verifies the authenticity of the hand painted fine art reproduction you purchased. " to prove they painted a nice copy of an original art work

And do you have permission from the artist to have his work copied?

You could always take a photograph of the original work and then print it on canvas. As long as you get the colours right, at first glance, it will be indistinguishable from the original.
