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.

This reproduction on canvas of Still Life with Flowers in a Glass Vase by Jan Davidsz de Heem is made with the greatest possible care to ensure that the colours are very close to the original painting that is hanging in the Rijksmuseum. Jan Davidsz. De Heem grew up in Utrecht, where he was apprenticed to floral still-life artist Balthasar van der Ast. In 1626, he moved to Leiden, where he painted monochrome still lifes employing one or at the most two tints. De Heem moved to Antwerp after 1631. Here his paintings became increasingly colourful and elegant. He also changed his theme, concentrating more on fruit and flowers. Jan Davidsz de Heem was the most influential flower painter of his day. His work was popular among the buying public and among fellow artists. His many pupils and followers included Abraham Mignon.
Compared to flower still-lifes of the early seventeenth century, this painting is a real floral explosion. Rather than a stiff bouquet, we see a colourful profusion of flowers hanging over the edge of the vase. One special detail is the reflection in the glass vase, which shows a cloudy sky through the studio window and a few objects on the windowsill.
