Testimonials

Fresia is by far the best contemporary painter of Lake Como and the Lombard Prealps.

Fresia è di gran lunga il miglior pittore contemporaneo del Lago di Como e delle Prealpi Lombarde.

Fresia is an internationally recognized master of plein-air painting . We work with artists all over the world and there is no one I know of today who captures light and emotion with consistent passion and extraordinary results as he does. Fresia’s work represents the best of contemporary Impressionists.

Fresia è un maestro di pittura plein-air riconosciuto a livello internazionale. Lavoriamo con artisti di tutto il mondo e non c’è nessuno che conosca oggi che catturi luce ed emozione con passione costante e risultati straordinari come lui. Il lavoro di Fresia rappresenta il meglio degli impressionisti contemporanei.

Few artists have captured the enchantment of Lake Como. Jerry Fresia has perfectly succeeded and has given to me, someone who has known and loved this lake my entire life, an entirely new emotion.

Pochi artisti hanno catturato l’incanto del lago di Como. Jerry Fresia ci è riuscito perfettamente ed ha trasmesso anche a me, che questo lago l’ho sempre conosciuto e amato, un’emozione diversa.

Painters from around the world - 37 countries spanning 5 continents - have come to Lake Como for a good reason: to study with a Master Artist whose painting method can be traced back all the way to Monet. “A proper method,” as the English have remarked, in a breathtaking location is a winning combination for painters like you.

A Quick Winter Escape

St. Petersburg, Florida, USA
Feb 26-28 & Mar 3-5, 2025
€675

What better way to escape the winter than painting in sunny Florida. You will learn an elegant method consisting of 5 simple steps. And you will come away seeing, thinking and being in the world as did Monet, Degas and all the great Impressionists.
