Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. In 1900 a banquet was held in his honor at the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and he was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1914. Artist: Henry Scott Tuke Subject: Figurative Style: Nautical Product Type: Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Art This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a boy in a sailor's uniform pushing a rowboat out onto the water. Prominent Colors: White, Green, Grey Henry Scott Tuke was an English visual artist, primarily a painter, but also a photographer. 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. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. His most notable work was in the Impressionist style; he favored rough, visible brush strokes at a time when smooth, polished finish was favored by fashionable painters and critics. 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. Tuke enjoyed a considerable reputation, and he earned enough money to enable him to travel around Europe. He had a strong sense of color and excelled in the depiction of natural light, particularly the soft, fragile sunlight of the English summer.
