Why
are Kings Galleries reproductions
better than any other reproduction?
Many of the artists retained by
us are specialist painters that
have made a life times study of
their chosen subject, often traveling
all over the world visiting museums
and galleries to sketch and absorb
the style and textural feel of
the original paintings.
We insist that
our artists only use the very
best materials for their paintings,
the best canvas and English
oil paints with some of our
painters going to the extreme
for detail by mixing their own
pigments and color compounds
in order to achieve authenticity
of color and texture.
No mechanical
processes are utilized by our
artists, sketches are done by
hand in charcoal and paint applied
totally by hand on primed canvas.
Each painting
is matched with the appropriate
artist and the work they produce
is scrupulously inspected and
critiqued before it leaves the
artist's easel and is prepared
for dispatch to our clients.
Each painting
is as individual and special
to us as it is to our clients,
our work is not about producing
"product" its about
producing "fine art"
that will stand the test of
time and bring the reward of
beauty to its owner each day
it is looked upon.
Beware! Some
reproductions offered on the
internet are not totally hand
painted. Some companies use
technicians that utilize projected
images or over painted foils
that would fool all but the
most knowledgeable and discerning
of customer.

How
close are Kings Galleries reproductions
to the original?
Let us make this perfectly clear
so that there is no confusion:
No one can copy any painting
100%, it is impossible!
Kings Galleries aim is to produce
paintings that are accurate
to the degree that the difference
between our reproduction and
the original is only visible
on very close inspection.
Our aim is not to mislead anyone
into believing that our paintings
are originals, that would be
fraud; but to reproduce a painting
that shines with the essence
and majesty of the original
that will bring beauty and kudos
to any room that displays it.

Are
Kings Galleries reproductions legal?
Yes absolutely! As we stated
we are not trying to pass our
paintings off as originals and
we only reproduce the works
of artists who's works have
passed out of copyright and
into the public domain.
Copyright laws differ slightly
from country to country but
as a general rule if an artist
has been deceased for more than
seventy years then we are legally
entitled to copy his paintings
and you are entitled to benefit
from them.
You may be asking yourself
if this is morally or intellectually
correct, after all the owners
of the original paintings probably
paid millions for them.
Our answer is very simple.
Every artist wants as many
appreciative viewers to see
his work as possible.
Great works of art should not
be locked up for the benefit
of the few, they should be available
to anyone that appreciates and
loves them and is prepaid to
pay a reasonable price to have
them in their homes.
Reproductions do not subtract
from the value of the original
they increase its value by adding
to its popularity and appreciation
by the many.
Finally we would state this
as an redoubtable fact "It
is far better to have a good
Reproduction on your wall and
show your appreciation of fine
art than to have a bad original
and allude to your ignorance
of the matter".

Why
is there no "modern art" on the
Kings Galleries site?
Mainly for the reason stated regarding
copyright but it is our intention
to dedicate a completely separate
site to sell modern paintings
in the near future.

Does
Kings Galleries only produce the
paintings shown on this site?
No, if you don't see the painting
you are looking for then contact
us and provide us with a good
reference source and providing
that painting is out of copyright
then we will paint it for you
and we currently have over four
and a half million images to choose
from.
