Dutch artist Jan Vermeer (1632 – 1675) was known for his lifelike works and exceptional command of light. Vermeer, initially a historical and genre artist, painted remarkably expressive interior scenes which depicted daily life with dignity and grace. His strikingly realistic work was imbued with nearly microscopic detail, and sparkling highlights called pointillés. Vermeer, who only produced 35 paintings, is regarded as one of the Dutch Golden Age’s greatest artists.

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.
