He is doing actual research on them and trying to follow them. 19th century atelier was never old master. Americans revived some practices from it, focused on those, and called it old master/classical for marketing purposes. They were reacting against abstract modernist art so they created a category that includes old masters and 19th century academics, and just called everything old master/"classical realism."
I never said I like his art or subjects. I would not call his style classical either.
