The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.

Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the work of art in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.

With an acrylic glass art print sharp contrasts and also minor image details become recognizeable due to the delicate gradation in the print.

The man wearing extravagant Italian-looking clothing takes us by surprise. He appears from behind a tapestry and leans out of the window. He tries to engage with the viewer in order to clink glasses. So lifelike and convincing is Honthorst’s rendering that the fiddler seems to have slipped out from the frame of the painting to join us.
