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
Modello Assumption of the Virgin
This reproduction on canvas of Modello Assumption of the Virgin by Peter Paul Rubens is made in cooperation with the Mauritshuis Museum, where the original painting is hanging. This is not a finished painting, but an oil sketch. Rubens made it as a 'modello', or design, for an enormous altarpiece in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp. It was intended to show his plans to his patrons. Rubens depicted the Virgin's ascent into heaven as a swirling movement. From the stone sarcophagus, the Virgin floats heavenwards in a cloud of angels, where she is to be crowned. Dynamism is added to the scene by Rubens' rapid, powerful brushstrokes.
