 This canvas transfer, created from a lithograph of a painting by Angelo Marino, measures 15 1/2"x 20 1/2".     

Canvas transfers have been an extremely popular art form for those looking for an inexpensive replica of an actual painting.  Often with “brush strokes” and other methods, it is difficult to tell a canvas transfer from an actual painting.

The chemical process actually takes the image off the lithograph and transfers it to canvas. This is not to be confused with a photographic method of reproducing a likeness of a lithograph or painting onto canvas.
