Have a little fun with the "Instant Ancestor" service from Cranston's Windmill Studio, creators of fine-quality giclees for many artists.

Using a photo you provide of yourself or a family member, Windmill Studio's technicians will insert the face into an existing work of art.

We understand that Maxwell Mays originally suggested the idea as a lark. So it's fitting that our example shows Max (or is it an ancestor?) in Vicente Lopez' 1826 portrait of Francisco de Goya, painter of Spanish royalty of the period. Not a bad pedigree, you must admit!

So be creative: You provide the photo. Windmill Studio has scores of historic, public-domain artworks to choose from.  Then watch your friends' reaction as they notice that that's YOU in what looks like an Old Masters' painting on the wall!

This service is for the creation of an 8½ x 11 inch Instant Ancestor print on stretched canvas; framing or additional services are extra.
