thanks.

 

Wellington???

 

Was going to say the same thing Komo - lets see the back !

 

ya...and a close up..........if it's a painting....it's very nice !

 

Welcome, Cesar! If you haven't already done so, you'll want to do a Google Image search to see if you can find an on-line match for your painting. (That will help determine if it's a copy of a well-known work.) And then it would be helpful if you posted a photograph of the back and told us a little bit about where and how you acquired it.

i will get a better pic and post it
thanks

 

LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a Print, a Poster or what?? I don't see one brush mark........BUT, are those large letters (first one I see looks like a Greek letter E) I see on the lighter side of that LARGE boulder/rock??????

 

This is a frequent comment here and given the number of prints we see misidentified as paintings, I totally get the inclination.

But it makes me crazy every time I see it. There are, and long have been, artists who do not want visible brush marks. In fact, the goal of no visible brush marks has a much (much) longer history in art than the freedom to show brush marks.

Plus, phone cameras are brilliant at completely distorting textures.

EDIT: artwork samples from Mr. Jivvy.

 

HERE ARE MORE PICS.

 

prince albert?

 

Prince Albert, indeed!

Edouard Boutibonne (1816-97)




EDIT: added brighter version of Boutibonne painting

 

On age, the back suggests "recent"... I suspect someone studying the Academic Method, making a "master copy."

Or one of the many companies that makes copies of paintings... I think this is better than those usually are, but it's still a possibility.

 

thanks everybody great help. it is a beautiful copy painting. i will hang up on my wall.
