Jan Vermeer painted “Girl with a Pearl Earring” with his trademark realism, skillfully applied color, and sparkling highlights. Little is known about the painting, sometimes called “the Dutch Mona Lisa,” or the painter Vermeer (1632 – 1675), who created very expressive interior scenes of everyday life. Despite the fact that Vermeer is known to have painted only 35 paintings, he is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Dutch Golden Age.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
