There are few things anyone loves more than their pet.  This holiday season, those who are struggling to find the perfect, one-of-a-kind Christmas gift for the person who has everything can take heart that they have an option that is truly unique: an oil painting of the recipient’s pet.

 

Founder Chris Jensen says, “The love we get from our pets is unconditional. It's important to show them just how much we care for them, whether through walks, treats, or cuddles. With Nobilified, we give pet owners another to show the world how much we care about our furry loved ones.”

 

Which painting pet lovers choose all depends on the personality of the pet, whether you want Mittens memorialized as Napoleon Bonaparte or Fido memorialized as Jon Snow, from Game of Thrones, as blue Frenchie and “public figure” Blue Balou was painted. 

 

Da Vinci’s “Lady with an Ermine” and Bronzino’s “Portrait of a Lady with a Puppy” are popular choices.  Bruno Mars’s portrait of himself and his girlfriend even had his dog included in a Nobilified replica of Joseph Wright’s portrait of Thomas Gisborne and his wife.  When you’re selecting a painting as a gift, owners often enjoy a painting of what they love most, whether they juxtapose their fur baby in a famous oil painting from the 17th century, or a character from their favorite television show.

 

It’s not just dogs who have fun; cat lovers commission oil paintings of their favorite feline, too.  Jensen says, “Let's be honest, some of our feline friends tend to think they are emperors of their own empire. Nobilified helps us immortalize them through various a hand-painted oil portraits of them as Napoleon or Empress Dowager.”

 

For portraits of pets, Nobilified recommends customers select famous portraits that are from the waist up, which allows the artists to capture more details of the pet’s appearance.  Some examples include: Agnolo Bronzino’s portraits of Maria de’Medici and Cosimo I de’Medici, or even the Mona Lisa.

 

Jensen adds, “Getting someone a cool painting of their pet is a sure way to make them love you.  There are those people in our lives who have absolutely everything they could ever need. In these cases, commissioning a painting of their pets is a sure way to put a smile on their face and some love in their hearts.”
