"Evening in the Moor": The moon symbolyses constant renewal. Gently its light shines on the path to the horizon. Birches, which are the trees of life, surround the edge and arch over the path that the viewer has to take...

A revolutionary process developed by Günter Dietz for the authentic reproduction of paintings, in which not the usual printing inks are used but the same original colours used by the artist. Depending on the artist's painting technique, up to 140 (!) different layers of paint my be required to achieve a perfect replica of the original that also tangibly reproduces the "relief" and texture of the paint.
An example is August Macke's "Couple at the Garden Table":
Furthermore, the material of the original carrier is always used, meaning the reproduction is made on canvas, paper, wood, copper, or parchment.
The result is a perfect, gridless reproduction that closely resembles the original in terms of expressiveness and effect. Even museum specialists often can not distinguish the original from the replica. Therefore, a special security note must be added, which is only visible under X-rays.
The edition of most Dietz replicas is limited, usually to 950 copies. Each canvas replica is stretched onto a stretcher frame, just like the original, so that it can be re-stretched in case of fluctuations in room temperature and humidity. A high-quality solid wood frame completes the appearance every Dietz replica.
Numerous masterpiece paintings of Rembrandt, Caspar David Friedrich, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt, and others, have been recreated by the "Dietz Offizin". Famous modern artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall have used this method developed by Günter Dietz in order to have replicas of their works produced.
Press Comments:
"The Dietz System provides images as good as the originals. What electronics achieved with the invention of Hi-Fi and stereo for music playback, this technology has now done for the visual arts." (Die Zeit, German newspaper)
"In theory, there is no difference between the original and the Dietz replica. They should be called facsimiles, not reproductions." (Newsweek, US-American news magazine)
"For art printers all over the world, what Dietz has achieved with the printing technique remains an unattainable goal: the perfect reproduction of painted works." (Der Spiegel, German news magazine)
A true-to-the-original reproduction of an artwork in the same size and with the best possible material and colour uniformity.
The mould is usually taken directly from the original so that the replication reproduces even the finest details. After casting the replication, using the most appropriate method, the surface is polished, patinated, gilded or painted according to the original.
A replication of ars mundi is a recognizable copy of the original.
