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 Boucher'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 21.7 × 16.3 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 21.7 × 16.3 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 24.0 × 18.6 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 Boucher'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 Madame de Pompadour 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 Madame de Pompadour print with care and precision.

Please note: shipping costs are non-refundable.

For framed artworks: Since framed prints are handcrafted specifically for your order, returns are accepted only at our discretion and require a valid reason. But don’t worry—our support team is friendly, responsive, and ready to assist.

About the Painting

Within a verdant park setting, Madame de Pompadour sits in calculated repose, her expansive silk gown forming a lustrous cascade of rose and gold that dominates the lower half of the composition. The Marquise's left hand extends gracefully toward a marble balustrade, while her right arm rests with studied ease. Behind her, a sculptural group emerges from the shadowed foliage—a figure of Friendship embracing Love, their pale stone forms creating a deliberate counterpoint to the sitter's vibrant presence. At her feet, the spaniel Inès provides a note of domestic intimacy, its dark coat barely visible against the garden shadows.
Boucher's palette operates through calculated contrasts. The warm tonalities of Pompadour's costume—shell pink overlaid with golden brocade and punctuated by profusions of white lace—glow against the cool blue-greens of the sylvan backdrop. The artist employs color not merely decoratively but strategically, using the luminous flesh tones and the shimmer of silk to draw the eye inexorably to the Marquise while the surrounding verdure recedes into atmospheric depth. This chromatic hierarchy reinforces the portrait's central message: nature serves merely as a theatrical setting for cultivated power.
The brushwork reveals Boucher's facility with varied textures—from the diaphanous layers of lace rendered with delicate, broken touches to the more fluid treatment of the foliage. The silks receive particular attention, their surfaces built up through layers of translucent glazes that capture the play of light across the material's undulating surfaces. This technical virtuosity serves a larger purpose, transforming material luxury into a visual metaphor for political sophistication.
The composition operates through a series of calculated relationships. The diagonal thrust of Pompadour's pose finds its echo in the sculptural group above, while the horizontal elements—the balustrade, the garden bench—provide architectural stability. The eye moves in a controlled circuit from the Marquise's face to her extended hand, up to the allegorical sculpture, then back down through the verdant foliage to the faithful spaniel. This circular movement reinforces the painting's central conceit: the natural harmony between personal loyalty and political authority.
Created in 1759, this portrait represents the culmination of Boucher's extended engagement with Pompadour's public image. By this date, her role had evolved from royal mistress to political counselor, a transformation subtly encoded in the painting's iconography. The sculpture of Friendship consoling Love, adapted from Pigalle, announces this shift from erotic to platonic intimacy, while the garden setting—neither wholly natural nor entirely artificial—suggests a realm where personal affection and political calculation achieve perfect equilibrium.
