John Martin, born 1789 and died 1854, was an English Romantic painter, engraver and illustrator. All of his scenes include heavily detailed compositions of religious story and subjects. Usually with vast landscapes and very minute character use. At one point Martins engravings were making him more money than paintings were.

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.
