Product materials you can pick from
For every product we offer different materials & sizes. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:
- Canvas: The canvas print, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is an image applied on a canvas fabric. It makes a unique effect of three dimensionality. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.

For your Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print the selected artwork right onto the aluminium surface. The bright components of the work of art shimmer with a silky gloss, however without the glow. The colors of the print are luminous in the highest definition, details are clear and crisp.
- Printed acrylic glass: The print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes described as a print on plexiglass, transforms your favorite artwork into beautiful décor and is a viable alternative to dibond or canvas fine art replicas. The plexiglass protects your selected art replica against light and heat for up to 60 years.
- Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed canvas with a slightly roughened texture on the surface. The poster print is designed for framing the art print with a personal frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.

In 1872 Henry James described this picture as "the perfect prose of portraiture" . . . in van der Helst's "unmitigated verity you detect no faintest throb of invention blossoming into style and straggling across the line which separates a fine likeness from a fine portrait." The American aesthete's backhanded praise passes over such considerations as the placement of the figure within the picture field and the sitter's expression, both of which contribute to an impression of quiet authority.
