Martin Johnson Heade was an American painter known for his salt marsh landsapes, seascapes, and tropical birds.

Fairly unknown during his lifetime, Heade's work was later considered a major part of American art and was categorized with the Hudson River School. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
