This framed original oil on canvas was painted by artist Reba Inverso. It is a copy of the work "Man with the Golden Helmet" originally believed to have been completed in 1650 by artist, Rembrandt van Rijn. Whether the original masterpiece was actually done by Rembrandt or by one of his contemporaries no longer matters. "Man with the Golden Helmet" has been celebrated for hundreds of years for the soft, subdued tones in the old warriors worn face which contrast the brimming gold of his armor. The painting will always be appreciated for the feelings of comfort, sadness and joy it has brought to generation after generation.

The Old Masters are no longer available to guide a student and demonstrate how they actually work to achieve the perfection we see in their art. The ancient tradition of copying the successful works of Old Masters to learn their secrets is carried on today by artists who wish to develop similar skills and sensitivities to form. Reba has copied the original with near perfection capturing all of the qualities that were instilled inside of each of us the first time we were introduced to this image.

Reba Inverso's copy of the masterwork measures 20" high x 16" wide. The asking price is $850.00.
