Art print materials on offer:

In the product dropdown selection you can select a material and a size of your choice. The following options are available for individualization:

• Canvas: The UV printed canvas material stretched on a wood stretcher frame. Also, a printed canvas creates a soft and positive feeling. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
• The poster print on canvas material: Our poster print is a UV printed canvas paper with a nice structure on the surface. A poster is particularly designed for framing your fine art print with the help of a special frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the print motif to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond (metal print): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond with a true depth. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected artpiece right onto the aluminium white-primed surface. The bright & white parts of the artwork shine with a silk gloss but without glare. The direct UV print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a sophisticated way to display artworks, since it puts the viewer’s attention on the image.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, often described as a UV print on plexiglass, will convert your favorite original into wall decoration and is a viable alternative option to aluminium or canvas prints. The work of art is custom-made with state-of-the-art UV print machines. It creates deep, rich color hues. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and granular color details become more exposed because of the granular gradation.

Important note: We try what we can to depict our products as closely as possible and to exhibit them visually. Nonetheless, the colors of the printing material and the printing may vary somehwat from the image on your device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, color pigments might not be printed as realistically as the digital version depicted here. Given that the art prints are printed and processed by hand, there may as well be slight deviations in the motif's size and exact position.

General information by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Carus was a leading painter of German Romanticism, second in importance only to his close friend Caspar David Friedrich. He was a multitalented man: a correspondent of Goethe's, theorist, writer on art, medical professor, royal physician, and notable scientist. His now-famous Nine Letters on Landscape Painting (1831) reflects his changing attitude toward nature. Having initially embraced a religio-mystical Romanticism, one that was nurtured by his friendship with Friedrich, Carus then changed course, moving toward greater objectivity and a nascent naturalism. His increased spontaneity in the face of nature is vividly expressed in the modest motif of An Overgrown Mineshaft, an entrance to a rock cave that has been taken over by riotous weeds and bushes.

In 1824 the German painter Carl Gustav Carus created this painting called "An Overgrown Mineshaft". The 190 years old original of the artwork measures the size: 11 1/4 x 8 1/4 in (28,6 x 21 cm) and was painted with the medium oil on paper, laid down on cardboard. Furthermore, the artpiece belongs to the digital collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is one of the world's largest and finest art museums, which includes more than two million works of art spanning five thousand years of world culture, from prehistory to the present and from every part of the globe.. The public domain masterpiece is provided with courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gift of Eugene V. Thaw, 2007. The creditline of the artpiece is the following: Gift of Eugene V. Thaw, 2007. Further, the alignment is in portrait format and has a ratio of 3 : 4, meaning that the length is 25% shorter than the width.
