<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 10079398, member: 84&quot;]I haven&#039;t bought any paintings in a while (it was like going through detox-], but when I saw these at a local thrift for $50 &amp; $40 I was bitten by the bug again!</p><p>The first is a 1950 portrait by well known artist Max Moreau. </p><p>But once home, I remembered someone here telling me paintings usually aren&#039;t covered with glass, but prints are. I did a image search &amp; nothing the same came up, so that made me feel better - but I knew I needed to check here.</p><p>Can anyone tell me if this is a painting&nbsp; or a print without me having to take it out of the frame?</p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a unsigned painting of the Madonna. I thought it might be by a Peruvian school that&#039;s known for its Madonna paintings?</p><p>It also has some light crackling &amp; a layer of dust (or mold in Miami&#039;s humidity?) that made me believe it had some age.</p><p>But after photographing it, some of the images made me wonder if it could be a print on canvas, even though it doesn&#039;t feel like one by touch.</p><p>Also, why did they paint the back of the canvas brown?</p><p>Thank you for any help!</p><p>Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]505897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505900[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]505901[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505902[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505903[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]505907[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
