It’s always a pleasure to scan art like this. Most people, when viewing a painting, only get to see the painting with the naked eye. But because everyone that works at Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction is an artist, we’re interested in seeing the details of the paintings. We want to see the artist’s brush strokes and layers. Our Betterlight 4×5 scanback camera, with 150 MP for each RGB channel, lets us see all the details when we scan a painting.

Our scanner lets us see all the detail in a painting. When we scan the artwork, we can often detect the underpainting, and sketch under the paint. Our scanner lets us see everything – every brush stroke and detail in the artwork.
