Brand: Bottega Artigiana
Christ the Judge by Fra Angelico, was completed 1447 - 1449 and is located in the Duomo, Orvieto. The frescoes in the Cathedral in Orvieto represent one of the greatest Italian Renaissance works of art. This fresco shows the artist's perfect and refined style and his minute attention to detail. The detail of the original fresco in our reproduction shows Fra Angelico's wonderful rendition of Jesus' face. Our fresco reproductions are done while the mortar is still wet so that the pigments, drying with the mortar, become permanently incorporated in it. PHOTOS: Opera singer Pavarotti with one of our fresco reproductions; Pope Benedict receiving a fresco reproduction from our director; reproduction of a large fresco we reproduced commissioned by the city of San Francisco; the type and thickness of the plaster we use for our reproductions; metal stand included in each box; back; hook. All frescoes have a wall hook on the back. This fresco also comes in a smaller size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2" x 3/8 inches) and is listed separately. OUR TECHNIQUE: We reproduce paintings by means of the pictography technique. This method enables us to make reproductions with the same characteristics as a painting. We are located near Perugia (Italy), in Umbria, in the Upper Tiber Valley. Years of research and experimentation in the field of painting and restoration have enable us to return with great precision to the materials and methods used by the masters of the Renaissance to make reproductions on plaster. For these fresco type reproductions we use the same type of mortar mix which Giotto used for his mural paintings. This is a mortar free of salts and alkalis which would contribute to deterioration and corrosion over time. Each reproduction is done individually with the final touches made by expert painters who are all Italian art academy graduates. Every reproduction is accompanied by a certificate attesting to the originality of the materials and methods used to create it.
