Nicolas Poussin, though he spent most of his working life in Rome, was the leading painter of the classical French Baroque style. His work is characterized by clarity, logic, and order, favoring lines over color, and featuring mainly historical, religious, or mythological subjects. Serving briefly as First Painter to the King for Cardinal Richilieu, Poussin spent the majority of his life working for prominent collectors from around the world.

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.
