Alexandre François Desportes - Still Life with Silver - fine art print

Original information about the work of art from the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Trained as a painter of animals and favored by both Louis XIV (1638–1715) and Louis XV (1710–1774), Desportes achieved fame not only for his hunting scenes but also for his opulent still lifes. This picture, probably painted in the 1720s, belongs to a type showing a buffet laden with an array of objects in silver, porcelain, and semi-precious stone as well as fruit—such as might have been displayed for a banquet. The objects may record actual pieces owned by the patron: the dragon-handled tureen and vermeil salvers are in the Régence style (ca. 1715–23).

We offer a range of different materials and sizes for every product. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a UV printed cotton canvas with a slightly rough surface texture. It is optimally appropriate for putting your art copy with a custom frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas print: A printed canvas applied on a wooden frame. The canvas creates a lovely and pleasing effect. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.
• Glossy acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes labelled as a plexiglass print, will turn your chosen original work of art into décor. In addition to that, it is a good alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond prints. The work of art is manufactured with modern UV direct print technology. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and details will be visible with the help of the very fine gradation in the picture. The real glass coating protects your custom art replica against sunlight and external influences for between 4 and six decades.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an outstanding effect of depth, creating a contemporary look by having a non-reflective surface. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your perfect introduction to art prints on aluminum. For our Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print the selected artpiece right onto the surface of the aluminum. The colors are luminous, fine details are crisp and clear, and there’s a matte appearance you can literally feel.
