Hello. My name is Carl ( Carlos ) Monteiro. I live at 71 Clark Court, in Rutherford, N.J.
I am a graduate of the School of Visual Arts, in Manhattan, ( a B.F.A. , Bachelor of Fine Arts, 1983 ).
I am offering this, an exact copy of " the Garden of Earthly Delights ", by Hieronymus Bosch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is an investment proposition, especially for corporations, such as Microsoft, GM, Sony, etc. ,
( think about telling your " boss " about this, if it all " pans out ",
  you will make some " points " with them ) .
I CAN paint in oil paint, on oak, not canvas, ( like he did ), in the same exact size ;
the dimensions are  78.73 inches x 157.48 inches ( roughly 6.5 feet x 13.12 feet ) . INCLUDING ;
the back panel, which the side panels fold, to reveal the " orb " on the back ( see it on Wikipedia ).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plan is, by commission, ( investment ), you will provide ( an advance ), determined by us,
under legal contract, the amount of the advance, and a deadline to the finished product.
The reason I am asking for an advance, simple, to buy materials, rented space ( need height )
and time expended by me to get this done ;
( I estimate a time of one year, possibly up to two years to finish it ).
The HARDEST part, is trying to find pieces of oak that big, not that easy, I looked.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In return for the investment, ( advance ), is the original amount you put in, back to you, plus a legal interest towards you of say 20% ( the percent is negotiable ).
How many banks offer this amount of interest ? Not even close ! No CD's, Money Markets, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO - after a legal contract is signed, the initial investor will make a percentage of the final intake of the sale of the painting, that is, I.E. / if it brings the price of $100,000.00, then under legal contract, the investor makes $20,000.00 , $1,000,000.00, then under contract the investor will make whatever percentage is agreed upon, say 20%, leaving them the intake of $200,000.00 , more than a million, etc.  ( depending on what the contract states originally ).

OR / I can be hired by salary for a year ( under contract ) with say a weekly,
decided beforehand, salary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please feel free to contact me at any time, via e-mail. THIS IS NOT A SCAM, the real deal. You can come to my condo, and see these things in person. I've been here for more than 17 years.

THE MAIN IDEA IS, once it is done, I will try to sell it at auction, like Christie's or Sotheby's, etc.
It should bring a good price, since as far as I know, there is only one of these in the world,
and that is the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain.
( I do not think anyone can out bid the country of Spain for ownership, do you ? )

ALSO - when it is finished, I can have a small plaque made that states ;


" The Garden of Earthly Delights, by Hieronymus Bosch , this copy done by Carlos A. Monteiro "
