Vasily Andreevich Tropinin was a Russian Romantic painter. Much of his life was spent as a serf; he didn't attain his freedom until he was more than forty years old. Much of his life was spent in Ukraine, copying the works of European and Russian painters, producing portraits of the Morkovs, and painting Ukranian people and the Ukranian country side. After becoming a free man, Tropinin was elected Academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts and honorary member of the Moscow Art Society.
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.
