N.B. Living and working in Barcelona, Miguel Canals founded "Estuido Canals" in the 1970s to recreate works by the Old Masters for purchase by a wider audience. In addition to these copies, Canals also painted still lifes including fruits and birds, translating this traditional idiom into his personal, recognizable style. These works are often housed in distinctive frames, painted by Estudio Canals, that expand and complement the composition.
