Sprig of Flowering Almond Blossom in a Glass by Vincent Van Gogh.

About This Painting

Vincent Van Gogh painted Sprig of Flowering Almond Blossom in a Glass in 1888. The painting's composition and color was tributed to the Japanese aesthetic he admired.

Van Gogh hoped that Arles, France, would provide a tranquil and quiet setting for his life and work. Once settled, he painted a sprig of an almond branch, which he forced into early flowering in a glass of water. The irregular pattern of the little branch, covered with pale, translucent blooms, gave him a subject that recalled the depiction of flowers in Japanese prints. The simple division of the silvery, violet background with a scarlet band he tributed to the Japanese aesthetic.

About Giclee Prints

Giclee printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer, the word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.

There are at least Three basic criteria, which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclee.

1. For giclee printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consists of a 100% cotton base.

2. Any image that is to be printed as a giclee needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). This is to ensure that the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.

3. The last step to creating or confirming a true giclee print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclee print is that giclees are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.

The Quality : The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
