Artist: Léon Bonvin
Date: 1863
Title: Bouquet of Violets
Léon Bonvin was born in Vaugirard, just outside Paris in 1834. Despite displaying great talent in the medium of watercolor he was largely unrecognized by his contemporaries. In 1866 he hanged himself at the age of 32, apparently due to financial difficulties. Working at his family's bar or "cabaret," he sketched and painted watercolors only in his spare moments, yet in the seven year period between 1859 and his death he created numerous exquisite still lifes of flowers and fruits, and subtle landscapes capturing fleeting atmospheric effects. There is evidence that, despite his rural home, Bonvin did have knowledge of the art world in Paris.
Your artwork will replicate authentic paintings found in museums; using the same ink, paper and printing methods they do.
Our archival Giclée prints are loved for their vibrant colour range and the handmade feel of their beautifully textured papers. Each piece of Heritage Art is printed on 312gsm fine art media. The print you will receive is made from 100% cotton pulp, guaranteed to last hundreds of years without fading or discolouration.
Our pigment ink has longevity rates of over 100 years. We use eight different ink colours profiled to match the archival paper to achieve a perfectly colour accurate reproduction of the original art piece.
Our board mounted prints are the traditional way of displaying your artwork and provide added protection from warping in the frame over time. Board mounted prints can also be displayed without a frame.
The process of archival art mounting involves fixing your artwork to an acid-free substrate. This enables your print to sit flat, either directly onto a wall or in a frame. Made from 100% virgin fibre, with a 2mm thickness, board mounted prints are an exceptionally light and cost-effective mount for creating a beautiful flat print prior to framing.
Unmounted prints are printed onto the same exceptional fine art paper and will require framing.
