Museum Stairs, Philadelphia Giclée (paper)

One of the most important Greek revival buildings in the country, the world famous Philadelphia Museum of Art overlooks central Philadelphia and the Schuylkill River.  The famous "Rocky" statue stands near the foot of these stairs.  Each week, hundreds of visitors can be seen "running the stairs" as a tribute to Rocky Balboa.

A giclée print is an elevation in printmaking technology on archival paper.  The original oil on canvas artwork is first scanned by the Athenæum of Philadelphia on a sophisticated high-resolution digital scanner with a raking light to capture surface details.  The giclée is then printed using a professional eleven-color ink jet printer with archival-quality inks onto acid-free Innova soft textured fine art paper.  This printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.  The archival paper giclée is then placed in a 100% cotton museum-quality mat.  An historical and architectural description (written by John) is affixed to the back and the giclée is enclosed in a protective acid-free clear bag.
