About Having a Maniscalco Portrait

A Legacy oil by portrait painter 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. Born in Detroit in 1959, this portrait painter now travels all over the world to create heirloom portraits in oil, pastel and charcoal, including executive, political, religious, military, judicial and family portraiture. His work can be found in over 1,200 private and public collections through out North America. He also accepts posthumous commissions, working from available photographs, as well as from old family photos to create his world class legacy oil portraits.

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 meaning.

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.

 

The Art of Portraiture

When I encounter my subject the first thing I try to do is 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.

An excellent oil portrait creates an enduring legacy, conveying the love and connection between you, your family, your organization, your community and your culture. It is a valuable heirloom that will be treasured and passed on through generations to come.  Also, check out his work in other fine art genres by nationally renown, Charleston SC portrait artist, Robert Maniscalco.

Heres a sweet little Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano for your edification, something Ive been working on in my spare time (all time is spare at my age). Some of you may know of my aspiration to be a composer when I grow up. Danny has also caught the bug. Maybe he will do it. If he keeps up like he is, he will be well known as a serious composer. In fact, it was he who got me back into the racket. The whole piece comes in at 5:30. Sheet music available if youd like to program this on your next recital.       https://clyp.it/m5n32u2a
