In 1776 set sail on his third voyage of exploration. Aboard the HMS Resolution, accompanied by HMS Discovery, Cook would attempt to find the fabled Northwest Passage. In the spring of 1778, amid stormy weather off the coast of Alaska, Cook spotted a large opening leading to the northeast. Against the advise of the 23 -year -old sailing master William Bligh, he sailed up what he thought was a river that could lead to the northern seas. It lead instead to a huge inlet, which Cook explored for two weeks before deciding there was no opening east. Cook named the “river” Turnagain. The Fourth Earl of Sandwich later named the inlet Cook Inlet for his good friend, and in 1794 George Vancouver, exploring South Central Alaska, renamed the “river” Turnagain Arm. Sleeping lady provides a dramatic background for this painting of the HMS Resolution in the gray waters of Cook Inlet.

What is a Giclee'
What is a Giclée? - Canvas Giclee (pronounced “zhee-clay”) Art Prints, without question, are the closest you can get to the actual quality and likeness of an original oil painting on canvas. Next to the original, their quality and beauty is unmatched by any other medium. A hand embellish Giclee is hand detailed by the artist adding depth and texture to the print similar to what you find on the original painting. Hand embellished Canvas Giclee prints have the authentic look and feel of brushstrokes. In fact, from across the room a hand embellished Giclee can be hard to distinguish from the original printing!
