Casa de Marta Pintuco – Fernando Botero
Casa de Marta Pintuco is a 2001 painting by Fernando Botero: a late hour in a house of pleasure, where women in underwear and stockings stand among sleepy men. We paint our hand-painted study of Casa de Marta Pintuco to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 70 × 60 cm to 200 × 172 cm or in a custom size. Before Casa de Marta Pintuco is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Casa de Marta Pintuco show?
In Casa de Marta Pintuco full-figured women in underwear and dark stockings stand in a blue room lit by a bare bulb, one embracing a man in a hat; men sleep on the bed and on the floor, with a baby, scattered bottles and plates among them. Botero painted the houses of pleasure of his youth in Medellín with humour and nostalgia, which is why Casa de Marta Pintuco feels lively, ironic and full of story.
How is our hand-painted study of Casa de Marta Pintuco made?
Our painters paint the study of Casa de Marta Pintuco by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Casa de Marta Pintuco has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Casa de Marta Pintuco is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
