Where to Buy
Michael Sweerts, besides his paintings featuring common folk and street scenes inspired by Rome, occasionally painted portraits and a series of half-length or bust figures of youths, children, and elders. These figures are set against dark, neutral backgrounds, turning their heads to one side and illuminated from the left.

The young man holds a small bouquet of flowers, suggesting a representation of the sense of smell. Sweerts created two scattered series illustrating the cycle of the five senses.

This boy’s image stands out for its strong plasticity, due to precise modeling and the harmonious color palette chosen for his clothing.

About the Artist

Michael Sweerts (1618–1664) was a notable Flemish Baroque painter known for his urban scenes and intimate portraits. Influenced by his years in Rome, he captured everyday humanity with sensitivity and realism, offering a fresh and personal perspective within 17th-century European art.

Edition Details — Neoseries

Museum Neoseries are facsimile editions of great masterpieces, created with cutting-edge technology in collaboration with institutions like the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid) or the MNAC (Barcelona) among others. They faithfully reproduce the volume, texture, and color of the original work, offering an aesthetic experience that goes beyond the museum. Each piece is produced on demand and individually numbered, with progressive and accessible pricing. An art edition that democratizes beauty and makes it possible to live with art beyond museum walls.

Price and Transaction Records

Museum Neoseries, numbered and certified, increase in price by 10% with each unit sold. Always produced on demand, their value lies in the experience of beauty itself. In this way, they are granted an induced revaluation, creating a market in which price is closely linked to demand. Thus, the value of each piece becomes tied to its social acceptance, guiding its commercial development and preventing hasty trivialization.

Framing Suggestions

Most of our editions are printed on paper and designed to travel safely and efficiently. For this reason—and because trusted framers can be found almost anywhere—we recommend framing locally. These guidelines will help you achieve the best result:

Without glass, whenever possible

Many original works are displayed without glass. To preserve the same aesthetic and presence, we recommend doing the same. The result is more natural, glare-free, and visually striking.

Mounting on rigid backing (PVC)

Ask your framer to mount the artwork onto a rigid backing. PVC is lightweight, stable, and helps prevent warping over time. It’s also essential if you choose to frame without glass.

Conservation and materials

Always use acid-free materials

If you use glass, make sure it’s anti-glare and UV-protective

Our recommended alternative: museum-grade acrylic, lighter and safer

Shipping & Packaging

Our art editions are carefully rolled and shipped in custom-made tubes designed to ensure safe transport. We offer three tube sizes—70 cm, 90 cm, and 150 cm in height—all with a 12 cm diameter.
