A native of San Luis Potosí, Fernando Leal (1896 – 1964) made significant contributions to Mexican art as an artist, teacher, art critic, minister of culture and advocate for artists’ rights. He worked in several media including engraving, lithography and painting, but is best known for his richly colored realistic murals. Leal has the distinction of being one of the first Mexican artists to paint indigenous themes.
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.
