Art Prints
Our giclee art prints are produced on heavyweight 200gsm matte art paper chosen for its smooth, non-reflective surface. Unlike glossy prints that throw back reflections from windows and overhead lights, the matte finish scatters light evenly across the sheet, so the artwork reads clearly from every angle and in any room.
Each print is made with archival pigment inks laid down by precision giclee printers, the same technology trusted by museums and limited-edition print studios. The result is deep, stable color with fine tonal transitions that hold their intensity for decades when displayed indoors away from direct sunlight.
The paper itself is museum grade: acid-free, lignin-free, and manufactured to resist yellowing and embrittlement over time. Ships unframed in a protective roll, ready to be framed.
*Frame is not included with this option.
Hand-stretched on FSC pine. Greenguard Gold inks. Ready to hang.
*Ready to hang out of the box.
Gallery Canvas
Each canvas is printed on a 333 g/m² cotton-polyester composite with a proprietary coating that produces deep blacks, rich saturation, and accurate tonal transitions. The matte finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, eliminating glare from windows and overhead lighting so the artwork stays readable from any position in the room.
The inks are HP Latex, UL GREENGUARD GOLD certified. This means the inks meet the same air quality standards required in hospitals, schools, and nurseries. Non-toxic, odor-free, and safe for any room in your home. HP rates them for up to 200 years of fade resistance indoors, away from direct sunlight.
The canvas is gallery-wrapped by hand over a 1.25 inch (3.2 cm) radiata pine stretcher bar sourced from FSC-certified renewable forests. The wood is kiln-dried, knot-free, and warp-free, engineered to hold tension without sagging over time. A sawtooth hanger and rubber bumpers come pre-installed on the back, so the piece is ready to hang the moment it arrives.
*No framing required.
Solid wood floater frame. Floating reveal. Gallery-ready.
*Available on the framed canvas option.
Framed Canvas
The floater frame is milled from solid wood with a matte finish that absorbs light instead of bouncing it back. Unlike glossy mouldings that pick up room reflections, the matte finish keeps attention on the artwork.
The frame sits slightly outside the canvas edge, creating a clean 0.5-inch floating reveal. This gap gives the wrapped canvas a suspended, weightless look, the same presentation used in contemporary galleries and museum installations.
Inside the frame, the canvas is the same 333 g/m² cotton-polyester composite printed with HP Latex GREENGUARD GOLD inks, hand-stretched over FSC-certified radiata pine. Every piece ships with hanging hardware pre-installed.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a French artist, born in Strasbourg, who died in Paris. At fifteen he began a career as a caricaturist and then as an illustrator, which brought him international fame, before working across drawing, painting, watercolor, engraving and sculpture. He made more than 10,000 drawings for books and periodicals, reproduced by more than 160 engravers, for texts that include Dante's Inferno, the Bible, Orlando Furioso, Don Quixote, Gargantua and Pantagruel, La Fontaine's Fables and Perrault's tales. Largely self-taught, he painted historical, religious, literary and genre subjects as well as landscapes and mountain scenes. From the 1860s his paintings were regularly exhibited in North America, and in London he set up a gallery under his own name, the Doré Gallery, which staged selling exhibitions.
La Prairie (The Meadow) is an oil on canvas of about 1855, signed twice at lower right "G. Doré", once in red and once in yellow. It measures 92.5 x 73 cm (36 3/8 x 28 3/4 in.). It was shown at the Paris Salon of 1855 (no. 2984) and, from 1869, at the Doré Gallery in London, where Edward Hyde Villiers, 5th Earl of Clarendon, bought it in 1883. Research by Dan Malan, cited by the Munich dealer Daxer & Marschall, identifies it as the first of three versions of the subject; the second and largest, Summer, is in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The painting was offered by Daxer & Marschall, which lists it as sold.
