1921-1999, French painter.

Born in Reims, in the northeast of France, Bernard Peltriaux went to study art in Paris in the studio of René Jaudon. Impressed with the social life of the time he developed to a typical artists of the French scene. Empathetic, rich in detail and with a touch of exclusivity Peltriaux painted scenes at equestrian events with beautiful women, living in the bistro, at the bar and at the Lido. The major theme of the French painter was the wife of the Belle Époque and the "Roaring Twenties" in Paris between the World Wars. However, it would be a misunderstanding, they wanted him as a painter quasi "historical" subjects understand, he had witnessed as a young man at this time. Peltriaux 'choice of subject is otherwise justified: it gives him the opportunity to make his female figures the glamour of those times as not only fashion, but also the role of women changed. Peltriaux shows up elegantly dressed ladies consistently as strong, so charismatic women; There are modern women who know obviously very exactly how much they differ from the generations of their mothers and grandmothers - and how much they open at one time new paths and possibilities to their daughters.

Many excellent Peltriaux' works are in private collections in France, Portugal, Morocco, Germany, United States, Belgium, Viet Nam, and Iran.

Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt, spray".

Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different coloured or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are light-fast, that is, resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.

The Giclée process is suitable for real art canvas, handmade and watercolor paper and for silk.

Representation of typical scenes of daily life in painting, which can distinguish between peasant, bourgeois and courtly themes.

The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in the Dutch painting of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting comes to the fore while in Germany the bourgeois character was emphasised.
