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 Eduard Charlemont'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 × 14.0 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 × 14.0 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 24.0 × 16.3 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 Eduard Charlemont'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 The Moorish Chief 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 The Moorish Chief print with care and precision.

About the Painting

In "The Moorish Chief," Eduard Charlemont invites us into a realm where exoticism and European fascination with the “other” are skillfully intertwined. The central figure, draped in voluminous white robes, stands tall and regal, his presence anchoring the composition. Charlemont’s ability to capture the play of light on fabric is masterful, particularly in the folds of the garment, where the bright white almost glows against the dusky, earthen tones of the background. The painting is an exercise in contrasts - light against dark, softness against the hardness of stone, and the refinement of the robes against the rough architectural textures.

Charlemont’s palette is subtle yet deliberate. The whites of the chief’s attire dominate, but it is the earthy reds, browns, and muted golds of the palace architecture that root the painting in a world of wealth and grandeur. The Moorish influence is palpable in the ornate details of the setting - the intricate carvings and archways evoke the Islamic art of the Alhambra, a palace of mythical beauty and power in the Western imagination. Charlemont’s careful attention to these decorative elements gives the viewer a sense of place, without overwhelming the primary figure.

The composition is balanced, with the chief standing slightly off-center, allowing for an interplay between the figure and his environment. His gaze is calm, almost introspective, as though contemplating a world beyond the viewer’s reach. The warm light that enters from the side enhances the scene, casting shadows that deepen the sense of mystery and adding layers to the chief’s enigmatic presence. Charlemont evokes both the grandeur of the setting and the dignity of the man within it, creating a work that feels timeless, grounded in a particular historical moment yet reaching beyond it to explore themes of power, identity, and exoticism.
