(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.

Julius Rolshoven was born in Detroit, Michigan, United States, the son of Frederick and Maria Theresa Hubertina (Hellings) Rolshoven.
As a youth he had training in art at Cooper Union and the Plessman Academy, New York.
In 1878 he registered at the Desseldorf, Germany, Academy as a pupil of Hugo Crola. A year later he was studying at Munich under Professor Ludwig Loefftz. There, with other young Americans, he came under the spell of the technique and teaching of Frank Duveneck. He was of the group of "Duveneck Boys, " which included John W. Alexander, John H. Twachtman, Ross Turner, J. Frank Currier, and Harper Pennington, who painted at Florence, Italy.
In 1882 he became a pupil of Tony Robert-Fleury and Adolphe William Bouguereau in Paris.
He exhibited his landscape and genre paintings at the Salon and the Sociate Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Paris; the Munich Secession; Chelsea Art Club, London, and other exhibitions. In 1890 he established at Paris life classes which drew an international attendance, and from 1896 to 1902 he continued in London.
Throughout his long residence in Europe he kept up his contacts with Detroit where his mother lived into her ninety-third year. In 1912 an exhibition of some eighty of his paintings from North Africa made a favorable impression on the Detroit public. Many American collectors acquired his paintings, and he was represented in his life-time in the Detroit Institute of Arts by "The Refectory of San Damiano, Assisi"; in the Cincinnati Art Museum, by "Chiogga Fishing Girl" and "Church of St. Francis at Assisi"; by canvases in the museums of Brooklyn, Baltimore, Minneapolis, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. During a visit to the West in 1914 he became impressed by the landscape and Indians of New Mexico, and during the disturbed war years he was a member of the artist colony at Taos. An exhibition of his New Mexican pictures was held at Detroit in 1923. In 1924 he was awarded the Richard S. Greenough memorial prize of the Newport, Rhode Island, Art Association. After the war he gave residential addresses in three cities, Detroit, Paris, and Florence. He held membership, as an associate, in the National Academy of Design and in the National Arts Club, New York; the Secession, Munich; the Society of Arts and Letters, Paris; the Foreign Arts Club and the Bene Merensa Societ. .. di Belle Arti, Florence; the International Fine Arts Congress; the Taos Society of Artists, and the Detroit Fine Arts Society. The extensive list of organizations of which he was a member revealed something of Rolshoven's personality. He was an internationalist, believing that the American artist should associate with the artists of other countries, should experience no inferiority complex in such association, and should demand from the American public at least as generous treatment as that accorded to the foreign artist.
A memorial exhibition of his works was held at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
His self-portrait is in the gallery of artist portraits at the Uffizi, Florence.

Quotes from others about the person
Of his character it has been said: "Rolshoven, too, was endowed by nature with the artistic temperament, making it especially difficult for him to adapt himself to routine work" (Norbert Heermann, Frank Duveneck, 1918, p. 46).
Rolshoven was married first in 1887, at Florence, to Anna Eliza Chickering. She died in 1897, and in 1915 he was married to Harriette Haynes Blazo.
Rolshoven died in New York City while on his way to the bedside of his mother in Detroit, who outlived him by about four hours.
