Giclée Print Quality 400 g/m² Canvas (Satin Gloss) + 1.2 in Borders for Stretching 100+ Year Colour Guarantee Free WorldWide Shipping!

Most people search for “canvas print” or “wall art” - but what they’re really looking for is a giclée print: a museum-grade reproduction of the original masterpiece, printed with archival pigment inks on fine art canvas.

Giclée (pronounced 'zhee-clay') is a French term meaning 'to spray,' referring to how ink is precisely sprayed onto canvas or paper, creating incredibly detailed fine art prints. It’s the gold standard in museum-quality printing, loved by artists, galleries, and museums worldwide.

Your artwork will be printed on premium canvas using vibrant archival inks, faithfully capturing every brushstroke and subtle nuance of Bierstadt's original. To ensure lasting beauty, each print is finished with a protective UV varnish. Far superior to ordinary posters, your canvas print will look and feel like a real painting, retaining its vivid colors and pristine details for more than 100 years.

About Giclée Fine Art Printing

Here's a simple trick: use painter’s tape to mark the print size directly on your wall, and step back to see how it feels. Generally, larger sizes around 36 in wide work beautifully in living rooms or open spaces. Medium sizes around 24 in fit nicely in bedrooms, hallways, or offices. Hanging it above a sofa? Choose a print that's roughly two-thirds the width of your couch. Still unsure? Start with our popular 12.9 × 21.7 in size—it fits comfortably in most spaces!

For a more artistic approach: choosing a size closer to the original artwork ensures you experience the artist’s intended visual impact and authenticity. Of course, since most of us don't live in spacious baroque palaces, your available space and personal taste should ultimately guide your decision.

In many cases, yes! If you need a specific size to fit a particular space or frame, feel free to reach out—we're happy to see what’s possible. Because each print is made to order, we can often accommodate custom dimensions as long as they respect the proportions of the original painting.Just send us an email at info@topartprint.com with the title of the artwork and the size you're looking for. We’ll get back to you quickly with options and pricing.

Good to know: when you choose the size of your artwork, the Print Size shown in the Your Selection box refers to the actual image area—that’s the part you’ll see once the canvas is stretched or framed.

The Total Size includes an additional 1.2 in white border on each side, added specifically for stretching.
So yes—this white border is added on top of your selected print size. You get the full artwork at the dimensions you picked, plus extra canvas to make stretching smooth and professional.

For example, if you select a 12.9 × 21.7 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 15.3 × 24.0 in—giving your framer plenty of room to create a clean, gallery-quality stretch.

Both options are wonderful choices! Going unframed gives you maximum flexibility—you can take your print to a local framing shop for personalized options and expert advice tailored to your décor. This is especially great if you have specific design ideas or want to match existing frames in your home.

However, keep in mind that a print truly comes to life when properly framed. Art professionals often say: 'The frame contributes 30% of the artwork’s overall impact.' A well-chosen frame elevates and completes your print.

If you choose our framing option, your print will arrive professionally framed and ready to hang right out of the box. We focus exclusively on traditional framing methods, ensuring every artwork receives the respectful presentation it deserves—this is why we don't offer gallery wrap options.

Important shipping note: Due to courier restrictions, we can ship framed prints up to 28 in on the longest side. Larger prints will arrive safely rolled in a tube, ready for you to frame locally.

For more detailed information, please see our complete guide to fine art framing methods.

We've carefully selected this premium canvas because it brings out the absolute best in Bierstadt's work. Made from natural cotton with a 400 g/m² weight, it has just the right texture to capture every brushstroke and detail of the original painting.

What makes our canvas special? The satin-gloss finish. Think of how paintings look in museums with that beautiful varnish—that's exactly the effect we're going for. This glossy surface makes colors pop with incredible vibrancy while giving deep, rich blacks that matte canvases simply can't achieve. The result? Your print has that authentic 'real painting' look with extraordinary depth and life.

Plus, our canvas is acid-free and pH-neutral, so it'll stay beautiful for generations. We believe Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California deserves nothing less than this museum-quality treatment.

Every print is made just for you—no mass production here! Once you place your order, we begin creating your Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California print with care and precision.

About the Painting

Bierstadt’s Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, completed in 1868, arrived at a moment when Europe was abuzz with curiosity about the New World - not least due to the artist’s flair for marketing. This immigrant painter, who built his reputation on dazzling images of America’s vast frontiers, showcased the canvas in London and Berlin before sending it across the Atlantic. In doing so, he fueled the growing notion of the United States as a land of spectacular possibilities, just as many Europeans were contemplating emigration. The strategy behind unveiling his works - complete with darkened rooms, dramatic drapes, and cultivated press coverage - underscored his talent not only as a painter but also as a savvy showman.

At first glance, the composition seems to invite the viewer into an almost otherworldly scene. Deer gather quietly by the lakeshore in the lower right, a measured contrast to the immense vertical thrust of the rocky cliffs and waterfalls on the left. The gaze is quickly drawn toward the luminous mountains that ascend into a swirling sky. The placement of trees and water ensures that the eyes meander across the landscape, eventually alighting on the jagged peaks glowing under a layered haze of pale gold and subdued gray.

Yet for all its majesty, it is Bierstadt’s color palette that truly arrests the viewer. Warm highlights merge with cooler shades to create a theatrical, almost celestial light. Where the foreground trees and grass are rendered in sharp, crisp tones, the distant summits and cloudbanks recede into a soft mist. This duality between immediate detail and far-off haze suggests a grandeur beyond the tangible - a romantic invitation to see the world as a place of boundless scale and possibility.

Examining Bierstadt’s brushwork reveals a painter with a precise, almost scientific approach to foreground details - each leaf or blade of grass is accounted for - while more distant forms are dissolved in glazes of atmospheric perspective. This technique reflects the dual role of nature as both comforting and awe-inspiring. Ultimately, the painting functions as a grand stage, offering a vision of America’s western frontier that was both grounded in recognizable detail and bathed in an evocative dreamscape. Audiences, whether in Europe or the United States, responded to this interplay of the real and the ideal, applauding the artist’s ability to capture a vast wilderness on a single canvas.
