The quality of a Giclée fine art print may be generally reckoned from the weight, and therefore, thickness, of the printing paper that is used. That is, the heavier, weightier the printing paper that is used, the better the likely quality. Weight of paper is measured in 'Grams per Square Metre' or 'gsm' for short. So, without further ado...

It depicts a harrowing scene of despair and tragedy, as a raft of shipwrecked survivors cling to a makeshift raft in a desperate attempt to survive. Gericault's painting is both an emotional and a political statement, and its power and beauty make it an ideal choice for a fine art print. This painting captures the human spirit in its darkest hour and it is sure to be a stunning addition to any home or office.
