A custom Renaissance family portrait painted from your photo, in the register of a 17th-century baroque oil. A single light source falls from the upper left, the way Caravaggio used it, catching a pearl strand against crimson silk damask and leaving the rest of the room in shadow. Crimson velvet drapery cascades behind the sitters, and a deep ultramarine sky darkens to black at the edge. The varnish reads as cracked and warmed by time, the brushwork as impasto with visible bristle marks. The kind of painting you frame, not the kind you scroll past.
This style is built for groups: parents, children, grandparents, the dog at the foot of the composition. Women are repainted in a décolletage bodice of crimson silk damask with gold embroidery and a single pearl strand. Men are repainted in a black velvet doublet with aged bronze trim and slashed sleeves over ivory linen. Faces and hair stay yours. Wardrobe is composed by the Renaissance style, so whatever everyone wore in the reference photo stops mattering the moment Fable starts painting. The result sits well in a study, a dining room, or a stair landing, anywhere a custom Renaissance family portrait can hold a long look across the room.
Fable paints from a single reference photo. Upload the group, and Fable composes the family under one shared drapery and one tenebrist light source. You see the painted preview before you pay.
