Frank Weston Benson (1862 – 1951) was an Impressionist known for his tranquil, light-filled scenes of women and children. Using delicate colors and visible brushstrokes to capture the fleeting nature of light and atmosphere, he often featured his wife and daughters in the landscapes and seascapes he created. Feeling restricted by the conservative Society of American Artists, Benson left to form The Ten, a group of painters who displayed their work at personal exhibitions. Benson, also considered one of the 20th century’s most gifted wildlife painters, established the sporting print as a respected art form.
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.
