The "imitating painting from well known artist" currently is knowing a period of great interest on behalf of the public and is in accordance with us that is not only a momentary fashion. A time that the modern art has reached limit expressions, denote chaos and superficiality, when by now has come to a situation in which to "emerge" is not important what you do and haow you do it, but rather the sign and who sustains it, so critical or pseudo-hireded critical and\or merchants that have all the interest to push the artist inflate prices of his works, the users stretch to address to works where is not necessary understand the study of an often comprehensible critical apparatus like the works that intend "explain". And since the works that are able to be appreciated from all, so the ones produced from the Middle ageses to the '800 are always more hardly available on the market and if they are the prices of the same often are not accesible to all, happens that the public turns to artists that realizes declared imitating paintings or paints in the style of…".
Perhaps not all know that make copies is not a recent fashion. Still toward the years '60 it was possible, visiting the innumerable museums of Italia, come upon in painters with all them tools that realized copies of famous authors and sometimes with great winger. But there's more: already in the '500 was perfecltly normal copy or draw from the works of the good teachers, and to this apprenticeship ubmitted also painters passed to the history and entered with good straight in the history art books. Naturally to realize a good paint from a more or less ancient picture, is not enough to know the technique"… is necessary to be in great tuning with the author you imitate, this is an absolutely necessary condition to produce a good work. So, if you do'nt "feel" the author, his sign, the touch, the kneading, his "palette", your work will be negatively influenced.

Then, realizing a paint sets in the style of Caravaggio, implicates an operation much more deeper that making a copy of one of his stupendous paints. In this case the purpose, that won't be able to be reached if not seeing like it is possible, as Caravaggio saw, implicates that the "counterfeiter" disposes of a wide knowledge of the works of the author in matter, that knows his hinterland, his teachers, his predilections, his relative ideas not simply to the same painting. In this case the paint realized on the base of this presuppositions would be a paint that not only reflects over the technique and the knowledge of the properly said pictorial art, that reflects necessarily the style and the taste, but other things too, that often are thought to be known, but they aren't at all. The result would be a Caravaggio's paint unpublished, luckly discovered, and that a connoisseur without making use of scientific techniques to test pigments and materials would be able to think authentic.
