Modigliani, restored for print
Amedeo Modigliani died in 1920, and everything he made has been in the public domain for decades. We restore his portraits and nudes from archival scans and sell them as 120+ finished prints in four formats. Twelve, chosen and annotated by the studio, are below.
LumenArtee is our own Etsy storefront — one of the three shops this studio runs. Every sale funds the next restoration.How we restore ·our open ledger
The icons, restored
Reclining Nude, 1917
From the series of nudes whose 1917 gallery showing the police shut down on opening day. Tired copies push the flesh toward brick; restored, the body stays warm against the deep red couch and the small blue eyes keep their calm.

Nude Sitting on a Divan, 1917
Half-wrapped in a white chemise against a wine-dark wall. That crimson ground is the fragile part — it slides to flat brown in most files, and bringing it back is what lets the figure glow.

Jeanne Hébuterne with Large Hat, 1918
Jeanne was nineteen under that straw brim, chin resting on one long hand. The hat's ochre and the burnt-orange wall sit a half-step apart — keep them separate and the whole picture breathes.

Self-Portrait, 1919
The only painted self-portrait he left, done months before his death — palette in hand, eyes almost closed. Dark copies swallow the russet coat whole; restored, the brushwork inside it comes back.

Woman with a Fan, 1919
Lunia Czechowska in a mustard dress, paper fan raised. The original was stolen from a Paris museum in 2010 and has never been recovered — prints are how this picture is seen now, so the yellow against that red wall has to be right.

Portrait of Jean Cocteau, 1916
The poet at twenty-six, upright in a borrowed Montparnasse studio; Cocteau liked to say it resembled the painter more than the sitter. The grey suit needs its green undertone, or the high red chair does all the talking.

Deeper into the catalogue
Six more, in the order he painted them — the sculptor's years to the last portraits.
The Cellist, 1909
Shown at the Salon des Indépendants in 1910, painted while he lived next door to Brancusi. The greens in the wallpaper are quiet but structural — lose them and the musician leans against nothing.

Caryatid, c. 1913
One sheet from the years he called himself a sculptor, drawing caryatid after caryatid as columns for a temple he never got to build. The blue crayon ground is the first thing rough handling erases; here it keeps its weather.

Madam Pompadour, 1915
The title is lettered straight onto the canvas — a tease aimed, most agree, at his lover Beatrice Hastings under that outsized hat. The coral face against slate grey is the pairing restoration has to protect.

Chaim Soutine, 1917
His closest friend, painted at a table with a glass at his elbow. The folded hands are the tender part — dark copies bury the black jacket and take the hands with it.

The Little Peasant, c. 1918
Painted in the south after illness pushed him out of Paris — a farm boy sitting as squarely as a lord. It is one of his palest palettes, and it turns chalky in careless files; restored, the milk-glass blues hold.

Paysage dans le Midi, 1919
He painted almost no landscapes — a small handful from the Midi near the end, this among them. Cypresses on stilt-thin trunks above an orange roof; the greens run close together, and keeping them apart is the whole job.

The rest of the room
The works above are a taste — the catalogue holds 120+ Modigliani works. Browse it by subject:
Choosing a format
Rolled poster
The cheapest way in — pick it if you already own a frame or want one chosen for the room, not the shipment.
Framed paper
Arrives ready to hang, glass over paper — the classic museum-print look, and the safest default for most rooms.
Stretched canvas
No glass, no glare — texture close to a painting's, and a natural fit for painterly surfaces.
Framed canvas
The canvas texture with a finished edge — the most furniture-like of the four, and the largest sizes live here.
Prices vary by size and format; every listing shows all options in your own currency. Undecided? Ourprint format guidecompares the four honestly.
