Coats of arms – or armorial bearings – they were and still are mirror images of the bearer’s ancestry and visible witnesses of their identity. The creators of the noble art of heraldry in the Middle Ages used merely a few colours and metals for the depiction of a coat of arms, in the same way as today’s heraldic painters do, who feel themselves committed to the old rules of heraldry. And with these they have practically unlimited possibilities to symbolize a name or a family.
As a coat of arms is a distinct mark of a dynasty or a person, it is necessary, for its development, that the painter is personally involved to create singularity and uniqueness.
In the tradition of the old masters, I will paint for you YOUR FAMILY’S COAT OF ARMS true to historical form in numerous single steps, as a hundred per cent handcrafted product.
Handicraft is important here: although the computer with all its graphic talents is able to convey to you the information that you, for example, are reading right now, and its printed material is impressive and exact, it cannot and should not replace the very own features and possibilities of expression of the painter’s hand.
With knowledge of the heraldic rules and with love to detail, I will create – in the style of the Gothic and the Renaissance art – your family’s traditional symbol according to your stipulations and wishes. I will not use the usual prefabricated coats of arms templates, which allow a speedy mass production but disregard the uniqueness of a coat of arms.
TIME DOES NOT PRESERVE ANYTHING WHICH ORIGINATES WITHOUT IT.
With this in mind, the painting of your coat of arms, too, claims adequate time to its completion depending on complexity and level of difficulty.
Therefore please contact me early so that you can have your picture in time for a given date such as a wedding, a significant birthday, a jubilee, a baptism, a communion, a confirmation.
To protect your valuable picture it is necessary to glaze it. On request, I will be glad to arrange a first-class framing for you.
Costs comply with scope, dimensions and workmanship of your picture and – it is always worth its price.
