Available materials

The product dropdown menu provides you with the chance to select your individual material and size. Pick your favorite size and material among the following options:

• Aluminium dibond (metal print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with a true depth. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the ideal start to fine art replicas with aluminum. For your Aluminium Dibond option, we print your favorite artpiece on the surface of the white-primed aluminum composite.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, often described as a plexiglass print, will change the original into amazing décor. Furthermore, the acrylic print forms a distinct alternative to aluminium or canvas fine art prints. The artwork is made with modern UV print technology. This creates the impression of vivid and sharp colors. The major advantage of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and also minor artwork details become exposed with the help of the precise gradation. Our plexiglass protects your custom art print against light and heat for many years to come.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a printed flat canvas with a fine surface texture. A poster print is qualified for putting the art replica in a custom frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin 2-6 cm around the print, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Canvas: A printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is an image printed directly on cotton canvas. A canvas makes the special look of three dimensionality. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.

Important note: We try everything to describe our art products as closely as possible and to illustrate them visually. Nonetheless, the colors of the print products and the printing might vary slightly from the presentation on the monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all color pigments can be printed one hundret percent realistically. Given that the art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there may as well be minor discrepancies in the size and exact position of the motif.

The monumental stacks that Claude Monet depicted in his series Stacks of Wheat rose fifteen to twenty feet and stood just outside the artist’s farmhouse at Giverny. Through 1890 and 1891, he worked on this series both in the field, painting simultaneously at several easels, and in the studio, refining pictorial harmonies. In May 1891, Monet hung fifteen of these canvases next to each other in one small room in the Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris. An unprecedented critical and financial success, the exhibition marked a breakthrough in Monet’s career, as well as in the history of French art. In this view, and in nearly all of the autumn views in the series, the conical tops of the stacks break the horizon and push into the sky. But in most of the winter views, which constitute the core of the series, the stacks seem wrapped by bands of hill and field, as if bedded down for the season. For Monet, the stack was a resonant symbol of sustenance and survival. He followed this group with further series depicting poplars, the facade of Rouen Cathedral, and, later, his own garden at Giverny. The Art Institute has the largest group of Monet’s Stacks of Wheat in the world.
