Henry Scott Tuke was an English visual artist, primarily a painter, but also a photographer. His most notable work was in the Imporessionist style; he favored rough, visible brush strokes at a time when smooth, polished finish was favored by fashionable painters and critics. He had a strong sense of color and excelled in the depiction of natural light, particularly the soft, fragile sunlight of the English summer. Tuke enjoyed a considerable reputation, and he earned enough money to enable him to travel around Europe. In 1900 a banquet was held in his honor at the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and he was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1914.

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.
