The Philadelphia Museum of Art overlooks Center City from the terminus of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the city’s “Champs-Élysées.” Considered one of the most important Greek revival buildings in the country, it was designed from 1916-28 by Horace Trumbauer, Charles L. Borie, Jr., and C. Clark Zantzinger. It is comprised of three interconnected temple structures and built with golden buff Minnesota limestone. The museum glows in the sunlight with dramatic antefixes on the eves and columns topped with Corinthian terra cotta detail. The western front sits dramatically atop a hill overlooking the Schuylkill River while the eastern front, with its monumental cascades and stairs, leads to a massive court. The court contains magnificent pediments featuring decorative polychromatic sculptural ensembles. Near the foot of the Museum’s steps, a bronze statue of “Rocky” serves as a popular photo opportunity for visitors. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A giclée print is an elevation in printmaking technology. The original oil on canvas is first scanned by the Athenæum of Philadelphia using a sophisticated high-resolution digital scanner with a raking light to capture surface details. The giclée is then printed on acid-free archival fine art paper and placed in a 2″ 4-ply acid-free hinge mat. Choose unframed or framed. All frames include acrylic glass.
