Sanford Robinson Gifford was an American landscape painter and member of the Hudson River School. His emphasis on light and soft atmospheric effects also align Gifford with the practice of Luminism. He traveled the country and the world to find scenic landscapes to sketch and paint, interrupted briefly by his service in the Union Army. At the time of his death in 1990, Gifford's portfolio was estimated to include over 700 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.
