(Matte Canvas: Produced on bright white, fine poly-cotton ...)
Matte Canvas: Produced on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using the latest generation giclee technology. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums and art galleries in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries. The giclee process involves the spraying of millions of ink droplets onto high quality paper. The smooth transitions of color gradients make giclee prints appear much more realistic than other prints. Although our reproductions come in standard sizes, they can be enlarged as per your requirement. However, please note that the dimensions of the length and breadth of the original will need to be maintained in the same ratio. Changing the ratios would result in either a skewed or cropped reproduction; neither of which are desirable or available. All our giclee canvas gallery wrapped prints come already stretched on the frame. There is no other assembly required. Our team carefully stretches each canvas onto the frame to give you a professional gallery wrapped canvas print. We use quality galvanized steel staples when stretching the canvas. Then, we finish it with brown framing tape hiding all the staples. Our packaging has been designed to ensure your canvas will arrive to you in perfect condition with as little waste as possible.

Louis Gustave Ricard was born on September 1, 1823 in Marseille, France.
He studied first under Auber in his native town, and subsequently under Coignet in Paris.
The formation of his masterly, distinguished style in portraiture was, however, due rather to ten years' intelligent copying of the old masters at the Louvre and at the Italian galleries, than to any school training. He was a master of technique, and his portraits-about two hundred-reveal an extraordinary insight into the character of his sitters. Nevertheless, for some time after his death his name was almost forgotten by the public, and it is only of quite recent years that he has been conceded the position among the leading masters of the modern French school which is his due. A portrait of himself, and one of Alfred de Musset, are at the Luxembourg Gallery.
