The Lord's Prayer - Gothic Style The art style referred to as Gothic occurred in Europe roughly between the 12th and 16th centuries. These centuries did not leave us the same legacy of learning and knowledge as the Renaissance, nevertheless, the art they did produce has a timeless beauty that is still popular today. This extraordinarily distinctive style draws heavily from geometric patterns and shapes. The letters have a distinctive square shape while a hallmark of the illuminations are three pointed leaves. Many of Europe's greatest cathedrals and churches were constructed during this period and feature these same shapes and motifs. This listing is for a high quality giclee reproduction of my original artwork. The original piece was handwritten on pergamenata parchment using india inks, gouache, and finetec gold paint. The text reads: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen All of my works are entirely handwritten and painstakingly hand painted. These are not digital creations. Pieces can take anywhere from a few days to a month to complete. ***UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUESTED*** All my prints are printed with an extra 1/2" border for easy matting and handling. Leave a note at checkout if you do not want this border. ********************************************* When it comes to the world of art reproduction not all prints are created equal. You truly do get what you pay for. Here is what you get when you order a print from my shop. The Company I do all my printing through a professional print company that specializes in giclee fine art reproductions; in fact it is all they do. What is a Giclee Print? Giclee is a special blend of science and art that is perfectly suited for delicate printing jobs where color accuracy and attention to detail are crucial. Prints are usually produced one at a time, as the process is painstakingly slow. Compare this to other printing styles such as lithography, which are mass-produced on high-speed presses. The inks The inks are archival grade and fade resistant. The advanced color management technology used in the print process allows for a large color range so that every print has vibrant true-to-life colors. (Sometimes they even look nicer than the originals!) With the proper care your print will stay bright and beautiful for generations. The Paper Giclee printers are able to handle thicker papers than traditional printers. This ability opens up a wide variety of lovely papers to choose from such as heavy weight watercolor paper, or even canvas. The paper I have chosen for most of my works is a nice balance of quality and affordability. It is an acid free, archival quality, heavy weight (230 g, 9.5-mil) paper with a smooth matte surface. ***Most of my art is completely customizable. Convo me if you are interested in having a print made on a different type of paper***
