What Makes a Kramer Rembrandt Masterpiece Unique

Throughout the 13th and 14th Centuries portraits were commissioned mainly of religious figures. During the Renaissance, portraiture began to depict wealthy, powerful individuals and their families. In the 17th and 18th centuries, painters such as Gainsborough and Rembrandt added a new level of depth and personality to portraiture, creating the “old masters” style still appreciated today. The advent of photography all but eliminated elegant portraiture, as it was previously known. Until recently, it was difficult, if not impossible, for most people to commission such a personal work of art. Methods undertaken by Kramer Portraits make it possible to record lasting images of family and loved ones in a style reminiscent of beloved paintings from years past. Distinguished by traditional compositions and hand-applied oil enhancements, these extraordinary portraits capture many of the timeless qualities of the old masters.

No longer are portrait subjects limited to an artist “interpretation” of how they look. Nor do they have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for an artist who is only able to render a “close likeness” of their loved one.

Kramer Portraits takes the “exactness of a photographic portrait” and through the use the computer, free hand paints the entire image with various brushes and art mediums. Kramer is now able to reach new heights previously unattainable by any other portrait artist in history combining oils, acrylics and more in one portrait. All of this is possible while still maintaining the exactness of photography in a subject’s face.

At it’s simplest Kramer Portraits has created methods of enhancing photographic images with hand applied artistic touches, resulting in timeless portraits indistinguishable from free hand oil paintings costing ten’s of thousands of dollars.
