Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
A term used for artistic movements that draw inspiration from ancient, primarily Greek, models.
According to the current understanding, Classicism refers to the period between 1750 and 1840, during which late Baroque art was gradually replaced by classicist-oriented styles. The great explorations of Greek art and architecture at that time awakened a true enthusiasm for antique models. The Glyptothek in Munich, the Panthéon in Paris, The New Guard House (Neue Wache) and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin are just a few examples of this revived classical style.
The leaders of the statuary art were Antonio Canova, Bertel Thorvaldsen, and in Germany, Johann Gottfried Schadow and Christian Daniel Rauch.
In painting, the outstanding representatives of this style are Jaques-Louis David or Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
