Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins was an American realist painter, photographer, sculptor and fine arts educator. Throughout his career he worked exactingly from life, choosing to paint portraits of the people of his hometown, Philadelphia. His portraits explored settings such as offices, streets, parks, arenas, and surgical amphitheaters around the city, offering an overview of the intellectual life of Philadelphia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
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.
