"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

Au centre de la composition, nous voyons le bateau d'Ulysse, bondé de ses compagnons rameurs, naviguant avec effort à travers des eaux agitées. Le bateau est détaillé, avec des rames allongées qui percent les vagues, tandis que les marins luttent pour échapper au danger imminent. Leur expression et leur posture transmettent une intense concentration et un désespoir sous-jacent, conscient du péril qui les entoure.
Sur la droite, la figure massive de Polyphème se dresse, ancrée entre les rochers et tenant un rocher massif, prête à le lancer sur le bateau. Sa posture et son échelle surhumaine par rapport aux marins accentuent la menace qu'il représente. La taille du cyclope et sa position élevée sur le rocher soulignent le déséquilibre des forces en jeu.
Les rochers autour de Polyphème sont robustes et accidentés, renforçant l'idée d'un environnement sauvage et primitif. L'écume blanche des vagues se brisant contre les rochers crée un contraste dynamique avec la mer houleuse, ajoutant au drame de la scène.
Le ciel au-dessus suggère une météo changeante, avec des nuages qui indiquent peut-être l'intervention divine ou la nature capricieuse du destin, thèmes récurrents dans "L'Odyssée". La lumière qui baigne la scène semble provenir d'un point hors du tableau, éclairant le drame avec une intensité qui attire le regard du spectateur sur l'interaction entre Ulysse et Polyphème.

Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901) was a Swiss symbolist painter best known for his evocative and imaginative works that explored themes of mythology, nature, and the supernatural. Born in Basel, Switzerland, Böcklin studied at the Düsseldorf Academy before developing his own distinct style that blended realism with a rich symbolic language. His work often featured dreamlike, otherworldly landscapes and figures, drawing heavily from classical mythology, folk tales, and personal visions.
Böcklin’s most famous painting, The Isle of the Dead (1880), exemplifies his fascination with themes of death and the afterlife, depicted through haunting, isolated landscapes. His mastery of color, light, and texture created a unique atmosphere that conveyed deep emotional and philosophical themes. Throughout his career, Böcklin lived and worked in various cities, including Munich, Florence, and Rome, where he was influenced by Italian Renaissance art and classical antiquity.
Although not fully appreciated during his lifetime, Böcklin's work gained significant recognition in the early 20th century and had a lasting influence on both the Symbolist movement and the development of modern fantasy art. His mysterious and evocative depictions of nature and the supernatural continue to resonate with viewers, offering a timeless exploration of the human psyche and the mysteries of existence.
