The tradition of portrait painting was prevalent prior to the development of photography. Royal and aristocratic families used to have paintings of family members from past generations. Couples that got engaged used to send painted portraits to one another before their marriage. Photography has taken the place of portrait painting tradition. However, it is well known that photographs fade away with time, while oil portraits can last for many generations. The painted portrait becomes a souvenir for the family and an artistic item deepening the family roots. Your image becomes real for next generations and a beautiful moment in the present becomes a personal item decorating your house.
