• The canvas print: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood stretcher. Hanging a canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth - for a modern impression and non-reflective surface.

The artwork is printed with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. The real glass coating protects your selected art print against light and external influences for several decades.

It is qualified for putting your fine art print with the help of a customized frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the print, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

Important note: We try whatever we can to describe the products as clearly as possible and to exhibit them visually in our shop. Please keep in mind that the pigments of the printing material and the print result may diverge slightly from the image on the monitor. Depending on the settings of your screen and the nature of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed 100% realistically. Bearing in mind that all art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there might as well be minor variations in the exact position and the size of the motif.

Louis XIV's court adored Hyacinthe Rigaud, who helped to formulate what a state portrait should be. While Rigaud made a credible likeness of the king, his purpose was not to express Louis's character but to glorify the monarchy. His original Portrait of Louis XIV of 1701, now in the Louvre, was so popular that Rigaud had many copies made, both in full and half-length formats, often with the help of assistants.

In this portrait from Rigaud's workshop, Louis XIV's ceremonial robes, elegant stance, and haughty expression proclaim his exalted status. Despite the vast expanses of canvas he covered, Rigaud remained concerned with the particular, describing the king's costume in great detail, even down to his shoe buckles.
