Since 1947 Leonardesca has been an excellence brand in the field of fine arts
In the famous homonymous manufacturer company the canvases were hand-primed by using natural based receipt
the drying of the canvas was open air from one to three days depending on the kind of coating (oil or gesso). The place where the canvases were dried were characterized by constant temperature and humidity to achieve an optimal final result
The experience of the past is a precious treasure for the young company Leonardesca, that has inherited the love for the tradition and the carefulness for the details. Leonardesca’s aim is to conjugate the handicraft skill together with the newest and most efficient technologies
Quality of the yarns, carefulness in the weaving and in the finishing are nowadays, as in the past, the flagship of the company
The whole production is carefully checked in every phase; this is the only way to achieve a production of items with excellent characteristics
Once the canvas is received at our premises, it is combed, the selvedge is cut off and it is calandered accordingly to the different kind or canvas; at this point it is ready for the coating
The grounding and the coating are prepared on the bases of specific receipt, accordingly to the pictorial technique that will be used
Afterwards begins the coating that is carried out with specific machineries ensuring uniformity and homogeneity to the final result
Then the canvas is dried in long ovens with mild temperatures to avoid changes in the canvas’ characteristics...
...and then rolled on rolls of different length
The canvas is now ready for a trip around the world, to satisfy all the different artists’ requests who want to use for their work an Italian quality product
