Old masters works replicas
Madonna della Scala (Correggio, Parma national arts museum)
Madonna della scala
Original fresco by Correggio,
In this case I did not try to make an exact copy, but I took inspiration from the composition of the original painting.
Girl with a pearl earring
Original painting by Johannes Vermeer.
I tried to make an almost identical copy, the most notable differences are the absence of cracks in the paint and a higher overall value (brightness). While painting it I realised that what appears to be a pearl is probably a metal earring. You can notice it clearly in my version, but if you look carefully at the original you will notice that there is a reflection showing at the bottom of the earring.
Dama con l'ermellino
Original painting by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Also in this case I tried to make an exact replica of the original.
I "restored" the right sleeve (in the original painting it shows some signs of deterioration) and also tried to give a more natural colour to the skin and the sable's fur.
What I did not do is to try to replicate the intricate embroidery that can be seen on the top of the dress, this would have been too much of a challenge!
