Giclée printing: Watch the video
We print the reproductions on museum-quality canvas of 380g. Printing a Giclée is done with the utmost precision. The HDR inks are sprayed on the canvas layer by layer, with 800 nozzles per colour x 10 channels for a total of 8000 nozzles. This technique guarantees over 100 years of colour permanence. The end result is characterized by great fineness and image depth, very high sharpness, detail and deep colours.
Varnish: Watch the video
We then apply several coats of varnish by hand to make the colours come to life and to protect against moisture and UV light. The canvas is stretched by hand on stretcher bars made with timber from sustainable forestry.

About the original artwork
Apelles Painting Campaspe
This reproduction on canvas of Apelles Painting Campaspe by Willem van Haecht is made in cooperation with the Mauritshuis Museum, where the original painting is hanging. This room is filled with paintings that are all existing Flemish, German and Italian works of art. The statues, too, are well-known classics. This 'kunstkamer', or art room, was painted by Willem van Haecht. It was a popular subject, particularly in Antwerp. In the left foreground, Van Haecht depicted a story from classical antiquity. It shows Apelles painting the portrait of Campaspe, the lover of Alexander the Great. His patron thought the portrait was so beautiful that it could take Campaspe's place, and he presented his lover to Apelles as a gift. Alexander chose art above nature.
