William Henry Margetson was a British figurative painter whose subject matter was primarily Victorian-era women. Born in 1861 in London, he studied at Dulwich College and at the Royal Academy of Arts, before becoming a member of the Royal Institute in 1909. Though the artist's subjects varied, he made his living taking on portrait commissions. His later work was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite painters like William Holman Hunt and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Today, his portrait of the poet Lord Alfred Tennyson hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
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.
