William Sidney Mount was an American painter best known for his genre paintings, although he also painted landscapes and portraits. He was a contemporary of the Hudson River School and trained at the National Academy of Design in New York City. Though he started as a history painter, Mount moved to depicting scenes from everyday life, his most famous paintings being "Eel Spearing at Setauket"" (1845) and ""Bargaining for a Horse"" (1835). The largest collection of his works is located in the Long Island Museum of Amerian Art, History, and Carriages.
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.
