Gustav Pope (1831 - 1910) was a British painter of Austrian origin. Active in the Victorian era, he incorporated several styles in his work, but in his mature style he showed influences of the second wave of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Little is known about Pope's training as a painter, but he is listed as a regular exhibitor in London from 1852 to 1895 at the British Institution, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy. His work shows the influence of Thomas Seddon, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Frederic, Lord Leighton. English literary sources, classical mythology, portraiture, landscape and idealized images of young women are the most typical subjects in his paintings.
Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. 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. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
