Pierre Auguste Cot was a French painter of the Academic Classicism school. In 1863 he made a successful debut at the Salon, and from the 1870s, his popularity grew quickly. Cot won various prizes and medals, and in 1874 was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. He died in Paris at the age of 46.
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.
