Before photography, it was with a canvas, brushes, and colours that artists recreated the light and spark they encountered. Today, Riccardo Riande<\/a><\/em> brings the paintings from the past into photography of the future.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Roman poet Horace once said that “a picture is a poem without words.” <\/em>The workmanship and proficiency of masters like Caravaggio, Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt, and Jan Vermeer have inspired many and impacted our culture in a unique way. Just like a poem, their images have influenced various artists and shaped diverse projects and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Timeless’<\/em>” is Riccardo Riande’s<\/a> tribute to these great painters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Italian portrait photographer was particularly impressed by the ability of these artists to build light with only a canvas, a palette of colors, and a brush. In a time where Photoshop or processors were not a reality, it took great craft and talent to capture someone’s portrait. With <\/em>his project, Riande<\/a> aims to showcase the immortal craftsmanship in a painting through the lens of a photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
