The work

Oil paintings has a lot of popularity these days. But how can the art that is centuries old still be modern? Perhaps it's the visual quality of beautifully painted colors, something of a man's soul that can't be reproduced by a mere color printing mech.

In 1972, Francis Ford Coppola has shown the world The Godfather. The screen version of an epic Mario Puzo's novel immediately became a classic hit. The role of Don Corleone, the Godfather, was played brilliantly by sir Marlon Brando.

In 21st century, a specialist artist C.Woud was inspired by the film. He painted an impressive painting using a special technique on scrim and wood, catching the Godfather in motion. Now you can buy a copy for yourself.

The artwork features Don Corleone in a middle of his speech. He is wearing his iconic suit with a red rose attached to a pocket. A part of the painting is done on the frame, creating an illusion of presence. An author (not to be confused with John Christopher Wood, a.k.a. Kit Wood or Chris Wood, a Scottish painter) has left his mark which is stylized as rose stalk.

About the "Godfather"

The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. A screenplay was written by Mario Puzo and Coppola; the film is based on Puzo's 1969 novel of the same name.

The Godfather stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino as the leaders of a fictional New York crime family. The film was the most popular at its time and acclaimed a strong cult following. There were two followups with Al Pacino as the lead; however, the first film of the series is more widely recognised and the figure of Marlon Brando as Don Corleone is a pop-icon.

The cinematography is unique and one can tell a sound of the scene by simply looking at one shot.

That was the solid piece of inspiration for Mr. C.Woud.
