The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Artwork by Katsushika Hokusai, 14 by 19-Inch Canvas Wall Art

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features boats being tossed about by large waves. Katsushika Hokusai (31 October, 1760 - 10 May, 1849) was a Japanese artist of the Edo period (now Tokyo), most recognized for his woodblock print series, 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji', included in which is probably his most recognized print, 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
