This image displays an old, yellowed newspaper clipping or magazine article mounted on a larger, plain white sheet of paper, likely for archival or display purposes. The article is titled “Old Masters by Copying” and is written by Egan Berenson, identified as “Museums of Art.”
The article focuses on the practice and challenges of copying old master paintings, specifically mentioning a painter named Nicholas Lochoff, who spent his life copying the works of great masters. The author describes Lochoff’s painstaking and often self-correcting process, noting that he sometimes spent months retouching and perfecting his copies to match the original’s “brilliant quality of color.” The article highlights Lochoff’s dedication and the technical skill required, especially regarding surface preparation (frescoes, oil paintings) and color matching.
To the right of the text is a monochrome reproduction of a painting titled “Procession of the Magi” by Benozzo Gozzoli. This is not the original, but a copy made by Nicholas Lochoff. The caption beneath it provides context:
