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
La Berceuse (Portrait of Madame Roulin)
This reproduction on canvas of La Berceuse (Portrait of Madame Roulin) by Vincent van Gogh is made in close cooperation with the Krӧller-Müller Museum, where the original painting is hanging in the Van Gogh Gallery. During Vincent van Gogh's stay in Arles, Vincent became friends with the postmaster Joseph Roulin and his wife Augustine. Vincent made several portraits of them and their three children. Here he depicts Augustine as 'la Berceuse', which means she who rocks the cradle or lullaby. She uses the string in her hand to rock her baby's cradle.
Vincent isn't interested in painting photorealistic portraits. Instead he wants to portray a mood. For Vincent, Augustine is a symbol of motherhood. The painting is intended to evoke a feeling of comfort and warmth, just like a lullaby.
