John Audubon was born in Haiti and raised in Nantes France by his stepmother. It was claimed that he was trained by Jacques-Louis David. In 1803 his father obtained a falsified passport so he may travel to the United States to avoid the Napoleonic Wars, but he caught yellow fever and the sea captain sent him to a boarding house run by Quaker women who nursed him to recovery and taught him the unique Quaker form of English. It was in this year that he got engaged to his neighbor Lucy Bakewell. After financial successes, John became bankrupt, which led him to pursue nature study's, setting off down the Mississippi with a gun and a paintbox to paint all the birds of North America and ironically killing some rare species of birds for the sake of painting them.

We do not compromise on material costs - our canvas is imported from the USA, and prepared in London, England. Reproduction prints come on titanum primed genuine artist's canvas. They are waterproof and archival, reproducing excellent fine details and color. Overall canvas size is 16.54" by 11.69" (420mm by 297mm), and image size is slightly smaller to account for an approximate one inch border. Canvases come unframed and unmounted, and although they may be stretched, this is not at all necessary. These exquisite canvases are suited to traditional framing, and look great with or without glass, depending on personal preference.
