(Every oil painting of ours is 100% hand painted one brush...)
Every oil painting of ours is 100% hand painted one brushstroke at a time by one of our experienced artists. We have highly skilled and experienced artists who are able to beautifully reproduce any genre of oil painting. Our artists do not use printers to assist in the painting process. Since the oil paintings are completely hand-painted and not machine generated on an assembly line and because different computer screens may have different depictions of colors, there is always a slight variation between the reproduction and the original work of art. As such, each painting cannot be considered as an exact replica of the original painting, however, we can guarantee that our artists will work carefully and pay special attention to the features and details of each oil painting to make the reproduction as close to the original as possible. What we offer is a genuine hand-painted oil painting by an artist on canvas, painted one brushstroke at a time, the same way the masters have painted for centuries.

Jean-Francois Portaels was born at Vilvorde (Brabant), in Belgium, on the 30th of April 1818. His father was a rich brewer.
He studied in the Brussels Academy. The director, Francois Navez received him as a pupil in his own studio.
About 1841 Portaels went to Paris, where he was kindly received by Paul Delaroche. He then travelled through Italy, Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, the Lebanon, Judaea, Spain, Hungary and Norway. On his return to Belgium in 1847 Portaeis succeeded H. Vanderhaert as director of the academy at Ghent. In 1850 settled at Brussels, but as he failed in obtaining the post of director of the academy there, and wished, nevertheless, to carry, on the educational work begun by his father-in-law, he opened a private studio-school.
He again made several journeys, spending some time in Morocco. He came back to Brussels in 1874, аnd in 1878 obtained the directorship of the academy which had so long been the object of his ambition.
Portaels executed a vast number of works. Decorative paintings in the church of St Jacques-sur-Caudenberg, biblical scenes, such as "The Daughter of Sion Reviled" (in the Brussels Gallery), "The Death of Judas", "The Magi travelling to Bethlehem", "Judith's Prayer" and "The Drought in Judaea", genre pictures, among which are "A Box in the Theatre at Budapest" (Brussels Gallery), portraits of officials and of the fashionable world, Oriental scenes and, above all, pictures of fancy female figures and of exotic life.
He died at Brussels on the 8th of February 1895.
