Dutch Art Reproductions and the Rijksmuseum

We think our reproduction of the Delfts Blue tile tableau, made in cooperation with the Rijksmuseum, looks gorgeous.The original tile tableau was hanging in an orphanage in Sommelsdijk. It was made in 1725.

The maker of this beautiful Delfts Blue design remains anonymous until this day.Since 1897, this tile tableau is part of the Rijksmuseum ceramic collection."Tile tableau of faience, consisting of 96 tiles, painted blue in the glaze with a flower vase on a pedestal.
To the left of this is a parrot on a stick, to the right a rooster. The design is surrounded on three sides by a border of leaf and flower motifs with cupids".

Still life with meadow flowers and roses

Amazing! Did Van Gogh hide Wrestlers under the flowers? There was doubt about the authenticity of this painting for a long time ...
The Kröller-Müller Museum purchased this artwork in 1974. From the beginning, the experts doubted the authenticity of this painting.

Doubts

From the start there were doubts as to whether it was a real Van Gogh: the size was unusual, the flowers were considered too excessive and his signature was in an unusual position.

The style of painting was deemed inconsistent with Van Gogh's development.
The work was therefore written off in 2003 and was classified as 'artist:

Composition 10 in black and white

On the photos and in the video you see our reproductions on canvas of two artworks; "Composition 10 in black and white" in the size 100 x 80 cm and "Composition in line, second state" in the size 65 x 65 cm.

All Dutch Art Reproductions are handmade with care and attention to detail and quality in the Visionplay studio; a unique element is that we add small custom-made nails to the sides of our reproductions. In the short video presentation, you can see them close up.

Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944), 1915, oil on canvas, Collection Kröller-Müller.

Piet Mondriaan was born in 1872 in Amersfoort, and he was introduced to art from a very young age with his father being a drawing teacher and his uncle who was a painter. In 1910 he moved to Paris and there he was inspired by cubism, after which his paintings would rapidly transform into complete abstractions of nature. He was also a spiritual

MOTHER by Ada Breedveld

My sketches for a painting usually arise intuitively from a longing for peace and security, harmony and comfort.

The mother is central, she is the person who represents all of this in the dream or wish of every living being. All over the world, the mother is the symbol of care and protection.

She seeks connection and inclusion, builds bridges and forms a safe haven for homeless people. Her eyes are closed, her gaze is turned inward because she feels complete within herself. She is the ultimate symbol of independence and self-reliance.

My paintings are naive in style, lacking any hostility or violence, some people call them disarming. The anatomy of the women is not true to reality but very recognizable to everyone.

My great example is Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) who also painted his colorful imaginative jungles and animals in the naive style. And just like me, he was self-taught. With colour and

Celebrating the work of Caravaggio

Here in our gallery we are deeply submerged in the theater and Chiaroscuro of Caravaggio's art. He is all around us, on canvas and on ceramic tile tableau's.

Caravaggio played with light and dark, darkening the shadows and intensifying the light, making his paintings almost three dimensional and giving them a dramatic flair.

With the exhibition in the Rijksmuseum fresh on my mind I choose five Caravaggio's to reproduce.

Amor Victorious, Boy with a basket of fruit, Boy bitten by a lizard, Young Sick Bacchus and Narcissus.

Many weeks of color matching and experimenting with varnish followed, looking for the perfect luster.

The Giclée printer we use to make our reproductions has five shades of black which lends itself so perfectly to the shadows (oscuro) in Caravaggio's work.

For the canvas reproductions I chose a stretcher frame of 4,5 cm deep, to give it a strong and bold look.

A SPECIAL REPRODUCTION of the famous painting "Row of Trees" by Jan Mankes.

On the 26th of April it's been 100 years since Jan Mankes died. He was only 30 years of age. He studied and sketched his subjects until he knew them by heart.
After that, he painted his compositions purely from memory.

His paintings therefore do not reflect reality as much as they highlight the essence of his subject. He painted countless birds and farm animals and dreamy romantic landscapes, of which the famous Row of Trees is a beautiful example.

What is so special about this reproduction?

It is made in close cooperation with the museum to achieve the perfect colours, and it has the same size as the original artwork (52 x 69 cm).

In our studio in Amsterdam we framed this reproduction in a handmade wooden frame from Italy, inspired by the frame in which the original painting is exhibited. The Giclée print technology and HDR inks guarantee over
