<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny1234, post: 11286211, member: 82607&quot;]I think my paintings are the originals because they are very yellowed canvases in reverse, with an &quot;old, earthy&quot; wood smell, and the facial expressions are too &quot;uniquely antiquely European&quot; and &quot;esthetically magical&quot; to be the copies.&nbsp; The copy of the yarn lady you showed has a much more kitschy facial expression than the one in my painting.&nbsp; The male painting has a distorted background because I had some trouble making a digital photo of it, so I used GIMP to phenagle the background, although the portrait detail itself is authentic.&nbsp; yeah, the chicken and egg question: which artist originally created the actual original?&nbsp; And if the copy is better quality than the original, is the copy better than the original?</p><p><br /></p><p>But this is all irrelevant to the main question: who is F. Vitale (or Vitape?).&nbsp; Is there some 19th century Italian reference to this artist?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
