Prolific artist John Audubon (1785 – 1851), whose name is synonymous with birds, created an astounding 435 paintings of many different varieties of birds. Audubon dominated wildlife art, spending days and weeks in the woods producing countless life-size bird drawings. In the late 1800s, the Audubon Society was founded in his name, honoring his respect for birds and the environment. Contemporary bird artists still aspire to the quality of his exquisitely detailed, dramatic work.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
