Paintings by Katherine Maniscalco "Elegant Bather", oil on canvas
The value of my work exceeds that of just the painting — it is an investment in an Old World tradition. Through continued classical atelier training, I have a deepened respect for the history of master picture making. Classical ateliers began to emerge in Italy in the 1500s where lineage was traced from master artist to student, who in turn becomes a master artist and trains another. Through my study at The Atelier in Minneapolis (formerly known as Atelier Lack), I can trace lineage directly back to Jacques-Louis David, (b. 1748 Paris, d. 1825 Brussels, Belgium) the court painter for Napoleon Bonaparte of France. At the present time I can work with you in two ways. You may purchase a completed painting directly from me (as displayed on this website) or you may commission me to create a painting for you. Commissions include still life paintings, custom designed story paintings, and portrait paintings. Pricing ranges between $500 - $5000 depending on size and complexity of the painting. Commissioned pencil drawings start at $125, charcoals $500. |
