Commissioning is the act of requesting the creation of a piece of art.

Commissioning an artwork allows a collector to be involved in the creative process with the result being a uniquely personal piece of art.

During the Renaissance commissioning art conveyed wealth and status. Rich merchants and government officials commissioned portraits to give their position in society a boost. This is driven by the desire to immortalize oneself in a painting. But this also gave the artist a chance to showcase his ability and an opportunity to establish his career as an artist.

The society throughout history has always been greatly influenced by art on commission. It allowed artists to develop new techniques, to influencing artistic movements and making political statements. This makes a closer look at the history of art on commission exciting.

And very useful at times! If you did not get the last bid in an auction, you now can have the genuine next best art experience created by a master exclusively for you, performed on top of a century old oil painting. You now can buy into a century old piece of art and experience the impression of a masterpiece you always had the desire to enjoy and wanted to have in your own possession.

Such an Art Installation commissioned can be even more personal since a desired impressionist is painted back into the collector’s own future to inspire and provide the beauty of light and colours on the Cote d’Azur, to bring back memories and touch on emotions.
