The king may judge disputes or bestow favors, but, at the end of the day, his subjects are his food, and his only purpose in maintaining them is to ensure that he has plenty to eat for later. An American painter, Beard rubbed elbows with some of the most celebrated figures of the Hudson River School, but eschewed landscape art in favor of visual social commentary, using animals to poke fun at the less flattering aspects of human nature. Fine Art Quality The Ibis’s giclée process uses archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper to achieve crisp detail and rich, lasting color. Unlike posters, they will not yellow with time, but will maintain their original quality for as long as you own them.
