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 Rubens'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 × 16.6 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 × 16.6 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 24.0 × 18.9 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 Rubens'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 Birth of Louis XIII at Fontainebleau, 27th September 1601 (The Medici Cycle) deserves nothing less than this museum-quality treatment.

About the Painting

Wife of Henri IV, Marie de' Medici assumed the regency of the French kingdom after the sovereign's assassination in 1610. In 1621, she commissioned the Flemish painter Pieter Paul Rubens (whose fame had already spread beyond his homeland) to decorate two galleries in her Luxembourg palace, dedicated to Henri IV and herself respectively. The artist was invited to focus first on the second. Rubens sent the first sketches, and on 24 May 1623 he arrived in Paris with nine canvases begun in his Antwerp studio, which he would complete on the spot. The ensemble of twenty-four works in all (most of which came from under the artist's brush) was completed in May 1625. Various episodes from the life of Marie de' Medici are depicted. The paintings were taken to the Louvre and arranged in this gallery, which had been specially converted to receive them. In the Luxembourg Palace the light falling on them streamed from windows between them; in the Louvre the illumination was zenithal.

The gods and goddesses descended from Olympus at the moment of the Queen's birth and accompanied her throughout her life. They glorify the stellar moments of her reign or support her in the misfortunes and clashes she goes through. After coming into the world in Florence on 26 April 1573 (picture II), she learned to read in the presence of the god Apollo, under the watchful gaze of the three Graces (picture III). On 3 November 1600, Maria de' Medici arrived in Marseilles. France welcomes her (picture VI) before she heads to Lyon, where her marriage to Henri IV is solemnized (picture VII). After the birth of Louis XIII on 27 September 1601 (painting VIII), the artist depicts the death of Henri IV, the regency entrusted to the Queen (painting X), also her intoxication with the eminence (painting XV), without omitting the difficult hours during the escape from the castle of Blois in 1619 (painting XVII).

Rubens puts all his imagination and gift at the service of the ruler and constructs the ideal, triumphant image of the ruling woman, of her role in history, of her greatness. The compositions - now dynamic, now static - draw and draw the eye into a movement that never seems to cease. The light in these sumptuous, monumental canvases seems unreal. It brings out the sweep and completeness of the figures, the beauty of the naked bodies, the lavishness of the red and gold. A powerful breath fills each of the scenes and transforms the ensemble into one of the masterpieces of Baroque art.
