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 Gerome'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 15.0 × 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 15.0 × 21.7 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 17.4 × 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 Gerome'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 Young Greeks Encouraging Cocks to Fight deserves nothing less than this museum-quality treatment.

About the Painting

The painting presents two youthful figures, nearly devoid of clothing, seated at the base of a stone monument. Their lithe bodies, poised with a restrained elegance, contrast sharply with the intense aggression of the two roosters at the center of the composition. One bird, its plumage dark and lustrous, appears poised to deliver a decisive blow, while the other, with vibrant russet feathers, struggles to maintain its ground. In the background, a somber fragment of a Sphinx seemingly observes this contest of life and death, its battered visage suggesting the slow erosion of ancient grandeur. The juxtaposition of thriving greenery and brittle, dead branches echoes the tension between innocence and brutality.

Soft, cool tones dominate the scene, in harmony with the pallor of youthful skin and pale stone. These subdued hues draw the eye to the saturated reds of the fighting cocks, creating a vivid focal point that heightens the drama. The delicate handling of blues and grays in the sky, combined with subtle hints of yellow in the draped cloth, offers a muted counterbalance to the cockerels’ intensity. In this way, color is employed strategically, infusing the painting with a sense of fragility while underscoring the violence at the composition’s core.

Executed with the smooth brushwork characteristic of the Neo-Grec style, the surface reveals a painstaking attention to detail. Each feather is rendered with precision, while the flesh of the two figures is portrayed with controlled transitions of light and shadow. The artist’s technical rigor is evident in the marble-like finish of the stone relief behind them, which suggests a level of polish and restraint born of a classical sensibility. The result is a fusion of meticulous draftsmanship and refined layering, securing a polished and balanced effect.

Compositionally, the viewer’s gaze is guided from the resting female figure, her gentle posture and downcast eyes softly introducing the scene, to the central confrontation of the roosters, and finally to the crouching male figure whose arm underscores the cocks’ movements. This visually circular arrangement, nestled in a serene seaside backdrop, keeps the action tightly contained in the foreground while echoing the cyclical nature of conflict itself. Completed at a pivotal moment in the artist’s career, the work reflects both his desire for public acknowledgment and his mastery of subjects drawn from classical antiquity. The success it enjoyed upon its Salon debut affirmed the public’s fascination with historical reverence and technical finesse, even if some critics deemed its meticulous approach too restrained.
