PORTRAITS PAINTED ON COMMISSION
Of the various types of commissioned art, portraiture is the most challenging for the artist: face, hands, clothing, pose, setting, lighting, iconographic elements, sensitivity, respect – each of these elements plays a vital part in recounting the story of the person.
Anna Longo follows Caravaggio’s tradition of ‘faithfulness to truth’ adopting a timeless classicism: an approach to painting that is much more than an ephemeral, personal style.
Each of her commissioned works is accompanied by a step-by-step, photographic record illustrating the techniques used in creating the portrait.
