We are very impressed with the quality of the paintings and will definitely purchase more. Many people have already asked where we had them made and we haven't even hung them yet. I am sure we will give you many new customers. Thank you kindly. We will definitely send a video for your website of all the beautiful paintings hung in place once the decoration is complete.

Since I was a little boy, I have always admired President Kennedy; his early life, Presidency and tragic death. I collect a lot of memorabilia of him: his campaign stuff, magazine covers, pictures, etc. However there was something missing. The great portrait of him at the White House -shown in movies, White House´s pics, etc- was something I would never aspire to have. Until my dad recommended me 1st Art Gallery. It may sound corny but it is actually a dream come true. Now I can have his portrait right in my office next to all my memorabilia. It is amazing, the way it is made, the way it looks. It transmits the same felling as the original one! Amazing! Judge for yourself. Look at my pictures. Thank you so much. So happy with my purchase. The next day I received this one, I ordered another picture! It is by far, the best discover for my art collection. I want to also mentioned how fast and nice the customer service was. All my questions were answered quickly and Dave was always available if I needed help with the status of my order or any other info. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Alex. It was wonderful working with you, and it's great to e-meet people who appreciate our hard work and the amount of effort that goes into creating a handmade oil painting reproduction, complete with a 365 day money-back guarantee and 24/7 chat and phone support - for less than $200. We are always touched to meet people who in our day and aged when everything is computer made, factory assembled, and automatically generated appreciate the delicate art of hand-painted masterpieces. Thanks again and please do not hesitate to contact us any time! We post below a few more reviews that we recently received on other review sites: This was the first time we ever ordered a reproduction painting ( or any painting online), but we are so glad we did! It came out absolutely spectacular! The photos don't do it justice. We were a little nervous because of the size we ordered. It is about 6 feet tall but fits perfectly in the space. The quality of painting is incredible and looks so true to the original. We would not hesitate to buy another painting. I love the painting! I basically saw a postcard with a beautiful Marsh scene, I took a picture of it and emailed it in. They did not have much to go on, but the result is beautiful. It really makes the room! I've just had my reproduction painting framed and will soon hang it, along with a companion piece, also a reproduction. I'm so very pleased with the art and with 1st Art Gallery. I will be ordering more pieces from them. It took less time than expected to arrive and was shipped safely in a well protected tube. The art itself is wonderful quality! The framing gallery was envious of the painting and all expressed a desire to order from 1st Art Gallery after seeing it. Given how much art they must see, I think that's a true testimony of the quality right there. I couldn't be happier!!!!! I was so happy receiving our oil reproduction of a John Gris painting of Picasso. It by far exceeded my expectations. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It is exquisitely painted, with every brushstroke done to perfection. It was packaged well and the company was wonderful communicating the progress of the creation. I will be ordering again! If you see something you like do not hesitate to make a purchase! Janet I have recently purchased 3 different copies of Gustav Klimt's major works from 1st Art Gallery. They all have exceeded my expectations in quality and have exhibited excellent parallels to the original works of art in color, scale and composition. I am eager to explore some of the other offerings from 1st Art Gallery in the near future. Thank you, Jim S. Amazing piece of art. We are so happy with the wonderful job. We own three pieces from this site. All of them are part of decoration of our beach house; our guest always mentioned the art pieces in their reviews. The colors of each of the pieces are great complement to our furniture and decor of the house. Thank you for such a fine and delicate work I eluded to this work in a previous testimonial I wrote on April 27th this year. Needless to say, I was not disappointed with this custom work when it arrived !! The clarity and attention to detail in reproducing Walter Paget's "Birth of the Irish Republic" is fabulous and more than I could have wished for in such a complex color scheme, on canvas. As other's have mentioned, the ultimate compliment I can give is to submit another order, which I just did - for 5 more reproductions !! I'm sure there will be many more to come ! Best Rgd's John. As a matter of interest I recently ordered and received an oil on canvas painting called "Boy with Torn Hat." The painting I ordered was delivered to my home in a timely fashion and I find it to be quite lovely. I have sent it out to be framed and look forward to getting it home again. I apologize that I am unable to send you a video or photo. yours sincerely William Arbuckle In two words - ecstatically happy !!! A little background here ..... I ordered a custom reproduction of a very intricate black and white drawing from my childhood which I knew would be difficult to reproduce with an oil medium. The communication from John and his team at 1st Art, was excellent throughout the entire process including providing a review of the item before shipment, and the incorporation of changes if required. Which brings me to this painting which I have always loved since my teens; Antonio Ciseri's Ecce Homo; I decided to go a head and order this "stock painting" which arrived as the "custom" work was being painted. What a great decisions this turned out to be. The artistry, attention to detail and close approximation to the original is just amazing - I don't how you and your artists do it - keep up the great work !!! I'm sure that when my "custom" work arrives later this week it will be of the highest quality. Expect another glowing review to be forthcoming ! And now .... happily off to the framers ! Warm Regard's John. I am totally impressed! The artist did a wonderful job. It is an exact match. The packaging was excellent and the shipping was really quick once it was ready to go. Totally satisfied. I took it to get framed the same day I received it. Would buy from them again and intend to start searching for another project. I am blown away with the quality of my painting! I didn't think it was possible, but I like it even better than the original! I am extremely pleased! I actually ordered the same thing from a competitor and they didn't even come close to the original. Stick with 1st Art Gallery and you won't be disappointed! Owning a small gallery in Bucharest Romania I've been working with 1st Art Gallery for more than ten years. They've been providing my company original paintings from photographs and reproduction paintings of famous paintings. The paintings are always of very high quality and sell quicker than the works of other companies which is why I've been using them exclusively for several years now. The customer service is always helpful as they help me select the most popular paintings which are more likely to be sold. I've been extremely happy with their service and if there is ever any issue it is always quickly and professionally handled. I would recommend any gallery owner, wholesaler or art lover to use 1st art gallery with no hesitation and we are proud do be selling their paintings in Bucharest Romania, the Paris of east. I've been using 1st Art Gallery for several months now as we've recently moved into a new home. All the paintings that we've received, from custom portraits to reproductions of well-known masterpieces, are 10/10! Before commissioning 1st Art Gallery for 20+ paintings we've made several "test orders" from several other companies and let me tell you - those paintings were horrendous. 1st Art Gallery stands out from the rest as not only that the paintings are beautiful but you can also see and feel how superior the materials that they use are. Better quality canvas, thick rich colors, the paintings are better packed and delivered much faster as well. Their customer service is very helpful and always quick to answer any question we have. In short - do not hesitate! Consistent high quality and service. A+ !!!! I've ordered a Rembrandt from them not so long ago. I was a bit worried if it gets here (our local delivery services are definitely not the best in the world), but finally it arrived safely :D When i first saw the product, my jaws dropped instantly. It was so realistic, so nice, it actually gave me goosebumps. I've made it framed and put on my wall. I thought that i'll prank my friends that its actually the original :D (which was stolen from Boston museum in the '90s :) As far as i know, the original wasn't yet found, so this would also provide a good base for the joke :) ) But beside the joking, i bravely can recommend them for anybody. They did an amazing job with a very-very realistic painting, such a good piece of work.

10/10 EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH SERVICE AND PAINTINGS - The quality of the painting produced by 1st Art Gallery exceeded my expectations. The friendly customer service is the icing on the cake! You must understand - we've been collecting art for over 50 years and we're VERY picky. We have wanted a Turner replica for a long time but didn't want a giclee print because we haven't been pleased with the results and prints fade within months. A family member who is using 1st Art Gallery for years recommended we use them but since we don't normally shop online we did not know what to expect. We could not have been more pleased. Granted we were sceptical when we ordered but the results were truly outstanding, and our painting looks in person better than the 1000s of examples that they publish on their website. An image on the screen simply cannot capture the beauty of a real canvas. The canvas is TEXTURED, there is no way of mistaking the painting for a print and, frankly, we would have paid three times the amount we did. We finished it off with our trusted framer at Hobby Lobby and a brass designation plate from Rossi Engraving. As we come down the upstairs hallway you get the illusion that you can walk right into the canvas. We are planning to replace all our old prints and giclees with handmade reproductions and 1st Art Galley do have discounts for returning customers so it is a no brainier. We also want to mention that we were very impressed with their YouTube channel and "2 minute masterpiece" videos, artist's biographies and the other content that they put out. They're not in business to just sell paintings, they're genuinely promoting and spreading the love of fine art. We will support 1st Art Gallery by recommending them to everyone.

This is not the first time I order paintings from 1st Art Gallery. To be honest, I am the one who used to leave a negative feedback to warn other people that this or that company should be avoided, but this time could not help myself but say positive words to the 1st Art Gallery that totally deserve it! My dad is a huge admirer of Van Gogh, and "Sunflowers" I got first time for his birthday made him the happiest man on the planet. The quality of painting was way above my expectations, and even dad, being a very demanding person, admitted the accuracy of details and similarity to original was unbelievable. Well done, 1st Art Gallery artists! On top of anything else the customer service is excellent: delivery, timing - all as agreed and promised. I had some minor questions before ordered the painting, this was immediately handled. This Christmas seem to be an easy one for me this year - hand made painting of such quality is a gift you can proudly present to the closest people. Highly recommended, thank you 1st art gallery!

We've ordered custom painting of the family. To be honest we didn't expect such an awesome result. I'll definitely recommend this service to my friends. And i'm going to use them again and again. Thanks!!!

This has been my second time ordering from 1st Art Gallery and I am just as pleased with this second painting as I was with my first. Both were large, custom portrait paintings and they both turned out exactly as I had hoped. The quality was exceptional. I plan to be ordering a 3rd painting soon. Thanks for doing such a tremendous job!

Great experience with these guys. I have used them 4 or 5 times and what you receive is of tremendous value for what you pay. I plan on using them again in the future on a big scale to decorate add'l homes.

I'm extremely happy with my oil copy! I didn't know this painting existed until I found it on your site. This small ship, "the barque Norfolk", was Captained by my Great-great grandfather, David Baird Brown, in 1854 when this scene was painted. The Norfolk had just rescued all passengers and crew from the sinking Prince Albert on Jan.4th, and then brought them to their destination of Cork, Ireland. According to newspaper accounts: "On January 4, 1854, the English Barque NORFOLK rescued the crew and passengers of the sinking packet ship PRINCE ALBERT. The NORFOLK was en route from Madras to England but was well off course at 15 West, 48 North. They landed the survivors at Queenstown, Cork, Ireland 11 January." (Note: Queenstown was later renamed the City of Cork.)
