Valentin Alexandrovich Serov was a Russian painter and one of the premier portrait artists of his era. His commissions for important social and political figures used linear-rhythmic drawing coupled with decorative color combinations in a grand manner; he also produced intimate, heartfelt portraits of women and children that emphasized a spontaneity of internal movement and clearness of attitude. His work gradually evolved to romantic landscapes and then classical mythology, endowing classical subject matter with a personal interpretation.
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.
