(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.

Polidoro Caldara was born in Caravaggio, in what is now Lombardy.
Polidoro Caldara's merits were such that, while a mere mortar-carrier to the artists engaged in that work, he attracted the admiration of Raphael, then e'mployed on his great pictures in the Loggie of the palace. Polidoro's works, as well as those of his master, Maturino of Florence, have mostly perished, but are well known by the fine etchings of P. S. Bartoli, C. Alberti, &c. On the sack of Rome by the army of the Constable de Bourbon in 1527, Polidoro fled to Naples. Thence he went to Messina, where he was much employed, and gained a considerable fortune, with which he was about to return to the mainland of Italy when he was robbed and murdered by an assistant, Tonno Calabrese, in 1543.
