Can we assess artwork reproduction from the standpoint of properly adjusted image management process? This study integrates the analysis of artwork reproductions obtained by three different image capturing systems. The artwork examined in this study belongs to the bright-shadow, visually presentable category and the reproduction quality analysis was performed visually and instrumentally. The visual study included formal/methodological characteristics of the artwork. The purpose of this research is to determine whether there is any correlation between subjective and objective reproduction assessment when using different image capturing systems. Based on the results acquired, it has been shown that brightness is decisive for quality reproduction. This finding has been confirmed by instrumental measurement and visual evaluation. However, artwork that belongs to different visually presentable systems may require other criteria for the evaluation of quality artwork reproduction.
