Artwork Details
Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban (1433) by Jan van Eyck is possibly a self portrait, indicated by aspects like van Eyck's larger than usual motto on the original frame, and the subject's unusually direct and confrontational gaze. Art historians describe it as a calling card for prospective clients, demonstrating his abilities and attention to detail. The man is wearing a red chaperon, commonly mistaken to be a turban, the details of which would allow van Eyck to display his skill. The original frame still survives, with painted inscription in Greek letters at the bottom: Johes de Eyck me fecit Ano MCCCC 33 21 Octobris (Jan van Eyck made me 1433 October 21); and his motto at the top: Als Ich Can (as best I can, or as I/Eyck can). This is believed to be a challenge to other artists to do better.

Framed Art Prints
We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.
Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.
Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
