Available material choices

The product dropdown menu provides you with the opportunity to pick your favorite material and size. You can choose among the following product customization options:

• Canvas: The printed canvas, not to be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica applied directly on cotton canvas fabric. It creates a special look of three dimensionality. Your printed canvas of your favorite work of art will allow you to transform your into a large artwork as you know from galleries. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Aluminium dibond: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an outstanding depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface structure. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to fine art reproductions made with alu. For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the artpiece right onto the aluminium composite surface. The bright parts of the artpiece shine with a silky gloss, however without the glare.
• Poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a printed sheet of flat cotton canvas paper with a slightly rough surface structure. It is designed for putting your art print with the help of a custom-made frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the painting to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often referenced as a print on plexiglass, will transform your chosen original into beautiful décor and makes a distinct alternative to aluminium or canvas fine art prints. The artwork is being manufactured with state-of-the-art UV printing technology. The great upside of an acrylic glass art print is that contrasts plus details will be more identifiable because of the subtle gradation in the picture. The real glass coating protects your custom art print against sunlight and heat for up to 60 years.

Important note: We try what we can to depict the products as accurate as possible and to exhibit them visually. Although, the pigments of the print materials and the print result may diverge to a certain extent from the representation on the monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the nature of the surface, colors might not be printed one hundret percent realistically. Bearing in mind that all our are printed and processed by hand, there may also be minor differences in the motif's exact position and the size.

General information as provided from the museum (© - by Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)

English: This painting is an allegory of the transience of life. It shows a number of objects symbolising the fleetingness of time and the vanity of all human ambition. As moral and religious metaphors, they exhort the viewer to observe moderation in worldly affairs and sensual pleasures. In depicting these objects, the artist is also showing off his skill at imitating reality – his painted roses admittedly spread no seductive fragrance, but nor will they ever wilt and die. Målningen är en allegori över livets förgänglighet. Här avbildas en rad föremål som symboliserar tidens flykt och fåfängan i all mänsklig ambition. Som metaforer med moraliskt och religiöst innehåll uppmanar de betraktaren att iaktta måtta i världsliga ting och sinnliga njutningar. I sin gestaltning av föremålen briljerar konstnären samtidigt med sin skicklighet att efterlikna verkligheten – hans målade rosor sprider visserligen ingen förförisk väldoft, men de kommer heller aldrig att vissna och dö.
