"La Source (The Spring)" will be custom-printed for your order using the latest giclée printing technology. This technique ensures that the Canvas Print captures an exceptional level of detail, showcasing vibrant and vivid colors with remarkable clarity.
Our use of the finest quality, fine-textured canvas lends art reproductions a painting-like appearance. Combined with a satin-gloss coating, it delivers exceptional print outcomes, showcasing vivid colors, intricate details, deep blacks, and impeccable contrasts. The canvas structure is also highly compatible with canvas stretching frames, further enhancing its versatility.
To ensure proper stretching of the artwork on the stretcher-bar, we add additional blank borders around the printed area on all sides.
Our printing process utilizes cutting-edge technology and employs the Giclée printmaking method, ensuring exceptional quality. The colors undergo independent verification, guaranteeing a lifespan of over 100 years.
Please note that there are postal restrictions limiting the size of framed prints to a maximum of 28 inches along the longest side of the painting. If you desire a larger art print, we recommend utilizing the services of your local framing studio.
*It is important to mention that the framing option is unavailable for certain paintings, such as those with oval or round shapes.

Painting Information
In his famous painting "The Source", Ingres returned to the "Venus Anadyomene" painted eight years earlier. Identical are the position of the standing and slightly bent legs, the slight curve of the thigh, the inclination of the head, the posture of the shoulders and arms, which here are slightly spread apart to embrace the jug. In the subtle play of the lines of the contours of the body, Venus appears here more elegant and at the same time sensual, though more restrained. The image of "The Source" seems to us a rustic beauty, with a pure-hearted expression, freer and more at ease. This work is a particularly successful figurative expression of the symbol of purity, pro-transparency and freshness of the source.
Thus, the artist's versatile creative talent allows him to create two completely different images from two outwardly similar figures of a nude female body.
