John Frederick Kensett (22 March, 1816 - 14 December, 1872) was an American artist. He studied engraving with his father until 1840, when he traveled to Europe to study painting. Over time his style evolved from traditional Dutch landscape style to a more Luminist style. He was acclaimed and successful in his lifetime, and in turn was an avid supporter of the arts and artists, and among other things a founder and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
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.
