Product materials our customers can pick

The product dropdown menu provides you with the opportunity to pick your favorite material and size. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:

• Aluminium dibond print (metal): These are metal prints on alu dibond with an outstanding depth effect, which creates a fashionable impression with a surface structure, which is non-reflective. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your excellent introduction to fine art prints made on aluminum. The bright parts of the work of art shine with a silky gloss, however without the glow.
• Glossy acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): An print on acrylic glass, often referred to as a UV print on plexiglass, will change an original into wall decoration and makes a great alternative option to dibond and canvas prints. The work of art is custom-made with the help of state-of-the-art UV print machines. The major benefit of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts and smaller artwork details become more recognizeable because of the granular gradation. Our plexiglass protects your selected art print against sunlight and external influences for many years.
• Canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is an image printed on a UV direct printer. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for all types of walls in your house.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a UV printed canvas with a fine texture on the surface. A printed poster is best designed for framing your art copy with a custom frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.

Depending on your settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, colors can unfortunately not be printed 100% realistically. Given that the art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there may as well be slight differences in the exact position and the size of the motif.

The corner of the balcony visible at lower left in this composition indicates Renoir’s vantage point overlooking the bay of Naples. His position afforded an iconic view of the harbor with the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the background, wafting smoke into the sky. Inspired by the southern Italian light, Renoir painted another version of this vista at a different time of day (The Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Mass.). James Duncan, a wealthy sugar refiner, purchased the present work in 1883, making it the first Impressionist picture acquired by a Scottish collector.
