How Artists Are Copying Masterpieces at World-Renowned Museums Artsy.net March 18, 2018
An excerpt from the article:
These artists continue a tradition that dates back to 1872, just two years after the storied New York museum was founded. Known as the “copyist program,” the initiative allows skillful artists to set up their easels alongside works of the greats, during public hours, and make their own breathtaking replicas. Similar programs exist at major art museums across the world, like the Louvre in Paris, the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, and the National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington, D.C., all of which serve to support living, working artists by giving them exceptional access to learning from masterpieces of art history. These prestigious, selective programs, governed by stringent rules, are also fascinating for visitors to experience, and are important extensions of museums’ educational missions.

January 2018 Washington Arts club
The first exhibit of National Gallery of Art Copyists opened in January 2018 at the Arts Club of Washington. Twenty-three copyists exhibited forty paintings. The opening reception was very well attended in spite of the fact it was one of the coldest nights of winter. We celebrated our participation in the National Gallery of Art Copyists program and the ancient tradition of copying.
