HERALDIC PAINTINGS: The brilliance of heraldic colours and the stern clarity of forms with their contrasting baroque playfulness have long fascinated me as an artist. Heraldic history adds its own special mystique, so it is not surprising that this genre possesses universal and timeless appeal, linking past to present, to be passed on in turn to the next generation. There are several painterly options for coats of arms, for example oil on canvas, mixed technique on a metal shield, water soluble colours on quality linen-paper, or black and white renderings with "tinctures", the haraldic coding used to represent colours and metals. Artistic upgrading of examplares is also possible, naturally in accordance with the heraldic rules and regulations. Individual wishes, such als name-inclusions, can also be taken into consideration. The price ranges according to the coat of arms in question. A middle price for a tincture-rendering including artistic upgrading is usally about 200 Euro, and for a painted coat of arms about 500 Euro. Information and advice without any obligations is gladly given. S.v.W. Ahnen-Porträt - Öl auf Leinwand, nach Foto- oder Bild-Vorlage. Ancestor-Portrait also available, from photograph - oil on canvas.
