Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. He was appointed academician and became a popular portrait painter, creating about 500 portraits during his lifetime. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Artist: Vladimir Borovikovsky Subject: People Style: Traditional Product Type: Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Art This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features an older woman dressed in blue in the center of the frame. An amateur painter until his discovery by Empress Catherine II, Borovikovsky lived in Saint Petersburg with the poet, architect, musician and art theorist Prince Nikolay Lvov, who strongly influenced his work. Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky was a Russian painter of Ukrainian origin who dominated portraiture in Russia at the turn of the 19th century. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
