Die Nachbildung eines Kunstwerks durch fremde Hand im Unterschied zur Replik, die eine Wiederholung durch den Künstler selbst ist; K.n können in Material, Technik und Maßstab von dem Original abweichen.

Das Mittelalter kannte keine eigtl. K.n, erst in der Renaissance fand diese Technik wieder verstärkte Anwendung.
