With this collection, I have sought to recreate, to the limit of my ability, works of great art that can no longer be enjoyed by humanity as they were stolen and never (as yet) recovered. The differences will clearly extend beyond how closely I’ve replicated the artwork in terms of image and colour, into aspects of how the paint was applied to the canvas, the aging it would have gone through and conservation efforts over the years. This wasn’t about necessarily recreating perfectly what the artwork would look like if found today but closer to when it was originally created.
