Alhambra Gazelle Vase

Giclee Print

John Singer Sargent painted a superb watercolor of this same vase in 1879. As a Sargent fan, I very much looked forward to seeing it during my trip to Granada in 2022. When I entered the Alhambra Museum (where the piece is exhibited), I was disappointed to find that most of the vases on display were covered under highly reflective glass … but not this one. The Gazelle Vase stood proudly in the main room out in the open, and I was stoked. The beautiful form and colors were spellbinding, and it was lit perfectly. A highlight of the trip, and a joy to paint.

About Giclee Prints

A Giclee print is the highest-quality print money can buy. The Giclee printer uses fade-resistant archival pigment-based inks on heavyweight (305gsm), acid-free paper to ensure that the colors hold true over time (a century and beyond when properly displayed).

This process costs significantly more than other types of printing (such as lithograph or other digital print) due to the premium inks used (12 pigment-based inks as compared to the four lesser-quality inks of other printers). This results in colors that are almost indistinguishable from the original.

Each Giclee print arrives to you ready for framing.
