Portrait Artist Robert Maniscalco
About Having a Maniscalco Portrait
Having a legacy oil portrait by nationally renowned portrait artist, Robert Maniscalco, expresses love in a way a car, a Rolex or a diamond never will. We hope you will enjoy Robert’s gallery of heirloom, legacy portraiture, created for the ages. As one of America’s top portrait painters, Robert travels all over the world to create heirloom portraits in oil, pastel and charcoal, including executive, political, religious, military, judicial and family portraiture. His award winning work can be found in over 1,200 private and public collections.
Once referred to as a “Society Portrait,” a fine oil portrait was a symbol of prominence and nobility. Today, bringing a portrait into being carries with it a much more profound and personal meaning.

Richard Avedon famously said that “All photographs are accurate, none of them is the truth.” “I like to think, perhaps truth can be found only in the painted portrait.” rm

A portrait is the most eloquent way to recognize those who have achieved a high level of excellence and/or esteem in their lives. It’s not an ego trip because it is an expression of one’s relationship with others.
Robert’s portraits of children eloquently capture this special time
“I don’t over think who the subject is that I am painting. I’m only ever asking one question when I paint: how can I make this individual appear at least, if not more kind and lovable than I found them? I’m going for depth over superficial appearances. As an artist, my goal to to speak light into the world.” rm
The Family Portrait is a celebration of who we are, a tradition steeped in love and connection.
The Art of Portraiture
“When I encounter my subject I try to get a sense of how they move through space, their rhythm and energy, to learn what drives them. I become them in a way, so I can paint myself.” rm
“For years my stated goal has been to create figures and subject so real they could step out of the canvas. Now, I see myself intending to create a world into which the viewer is invited to enter.” rm
The presentation of a portrait, is both a solemn and joyful occasion. I like to think of my portraits as the HOW of why a person is the way they are.
Robert’s Portraits of Children and Families become treasured heirlooms.

Remember the family pet who is also a treasured part of the family.

Thanks Robbin.
As Americans marked Presidents’ Day — a holiday traditionally reserved for honoring the nation’s leaders, their legacies and the arc of presidential history — Donald Trump found himself in the middle of a growing controversy over how his legacy is framed in one of the country’s most revered cultural institutions.
Trump reportedly requested that the Smithsonian Institution commission a new official presidential portrait that would encapsulate both his nonconsecutive terms — a departure from the usual practice of unveiling an official painted portrait only after a president leaves office. An earlier portrait commissioned after his first term, painted by the late Ronald Sherr, was never displayed because Trump was running for reelection when it was completed. But now, Trump wants a different image to represent his full tenure. At the same time, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has already stirred debate by replacing Trump’s previous photographic portrait in the “America’s Presidents” exhibition and stripping wall text that noted his two impeachments and the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The new display features a stark image by White House photographer Daniel Torok with minimal context, a contrast to other presidents’ portraits, which still include fuller biographical captions.
