Grecian Beauty Giclee after Tomasz Rut

inGrecian Beautyin Giclee after Tomasz Rut
This piece could be the works of Tomasz Rut, however without it being signed, we are calling it an inafterin as the artwork indeed aligns with the distinctive style of Tomasz Rut, renowned for his contemporary interpretations of classical themes.
The woman’s draped attire and floral crown evoke imagery often associated with classical Greek art and mythology, where such elements were used to symbolize beauty, nature, and divinity. The pose, with its elegance and slight twist, also resembles the flowing, naturalistic style seen in ancient Greek sculptures and frescoes. This Grecian aesthetic adds a timeless, mythological quality to the piece, making it a refined and sophisticated addition to any art collection.
Painter Tomasz Rut has been called many things, from “modern-day Master” to one of the most collectible living artists. And while his name often appears alongside those of other contemporary greats, from Francesco Clemente to Dale Chihuly, much of Rut’s body of work wouldn’t look out of place in the historical villas of the Medicis or the Sforzas. Indeed, two Rut canvases are in the Vatican’s permanent collection, blessed by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI himself, alongside works by Michelangelo and Raphael.
Not long ago, one of Rut’s signatures was the deliberate aging that was a part of his painting process—adding a varnish or a “distressing veil of neutral color,” in the artist’s own words, that let finished pieces simulate the quality of an old fresco. “The idea to use that effect in my work came to me after visiting Pompeii and all its distressed, decayed murals,” Rut told Observer. It occurred to me that despite the damages and partial obliteration, the subject matter of these frescoes usually stayed intact and in fact, the remnants of the paint layer only became more interesting and dramatic, bordering on abstract.”
His collectors include Martha Stewart, Sylvester Stallone and Nicolette Sheridan, as well as Creed frontman Scott Stapp and designer Gianni Versace. One copy of Rut’s work Luminaris has appeared in several of Britney Spears’ selfies; Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lech Walesa owns the original. His work can also be found in several museums, including Seattle’s Frye Museum of Art and Mobile Museum of Art in Alabama.
