The material options
In the product dropdown lists you can select your individual size and material. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:
- Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive depth, which creates a fashionable impression throuch a surface structure, which is not reflective. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best start to fine art prints on aluminum. The bright & white parts of the artpiece shine with a silk gloss but without glow.
- Poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed sheet of canvas with a slightly rough surface finish. It is excellently qualified for putting your art replica in a special frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
- Canvas: A canvas print, not to be mistaken with a canvas painting, is a digital copy printed onto canvas fabric. A canvas print of this work of art will allow you to transform your art print into a large collection piece. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.
- Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, often named a UV print on plexiglass, transforms the original into beautiful décor. The major upside of an acrylic glass art print is that contrasts as well as image details become identifiable due to the delicate tonal gradation. The acrylic glass protects your chosen fine art print against light and external influences for up to six decades.
Important information: We try everything to describe the products as clearly as possible and to illustrate them visually on the different product detail pages. Still, the pigments of the print materials, as well as the print result might diverge marginally from the image on your monitor. Depending on your settings of your screen and the nature of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed as exactly as the digital version on this website. Bearing in mind that all the art reproductions are printed and processed by hand, there may as well be minor deviations in the motif's exact position and the size.

What does the original artwork description of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about this work of art created by Hans Memling? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
This painting of the Virgin and Child formed what would have been a diptych with a portrait of a donor, possibly presented by his or her patron saint, on the accompanying panel at the right. Dendrochronology established that wood from the same tree was used for this painting's support as well as Memling's Bathsheba at her Bath (ca. 1485, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart), reinforcing the connection between The Met's picture and Memling's workshop.
