WOW!! "BLUE BOY" ORIG. ART OIL PAINTING! SUPERB THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH REPRODUCTION

MONUMENTAL ! THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH'S * BLUE BOY * ORIGINAL ART REPRODUCTION GORGEOUS ORIGINAL ART ON CANVAS ! ( 24 " x 18 " ) Thomas Gainsborough's Blue Boy is an art masterpiece that has a fascinating history and is now in The Huntington. Henry Huntington acquired one of the largest collection of 18th century art in the world. He paid the insane sum of $728,000 for it in 1921. The Huntington also holds "Pinkie" by Thomas Lawrence. The positioning of the paintings facing each other started an almost century old association that the two were star crossed lovers and now one is seldom mentioned without the other. Unavailable to collectors who have long tried to wrest the painting out of The Huntington and into their collections, it has been estimated that would it come to market it would exceed all 18th century art records and bring over 200 million dollars! Offered here is the next best thing! The Spanish Artist Rodriguez, in the mid century period, did a number of reproduction paintings of certain 17th and 18th century works. His works are extremely scarce and seldom surface because they are held by their owners - art collectors - who use his inspiring works as placeholders for unavailable paintings. Here we see the Blue Boy as we've never seen him before. The original stands almost life size at over five feet tall, but this version is a bit more manageable 24" x 18". Which makes the incredible detail all the more magnificent. Rodriguez packs an enormous amount of detail in about 1/3 of the space! The fine brush work and the way Rodriguez has a "feel" for the art of this period is amazing! When one looks at this painting, one can feel the "soul" of the Blue Boy shine through and gaze back! He seems a few years older and wiser and is more the "Blue Teen" instead of the "Blue Boy!" A spectacular mid century work of art! With great history and depth, this will be a prized part of your art collection. And if The Huntington decides to sell the Blue Boy, you can drop 200 million and have the "Blue Twins!" Fine unrestored condition. Light wear to canvas. Removed from previous worn frame and offered unframed for you to choose something to complement both this work and your decor. This work would look fabulous in your NY penthouse, Beverly Hills estate or UK summer home!
