• Aluminium dibond print: This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond material with an outstanding depth effect, which creates a modern look with a surface , which is non-reflective. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the best introduction to art prints produced on aluminum. For the Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your artwork right on the aluminium surface.
• The canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. How can I hang a canvas on the wall? Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a UV printed cotton canvas paper with a granular surface texture. It is ideally designed for placing your art copy using a personal frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print: An acrylic glass print, often described as a plexiglass print, will transform your favorite original artwork into stunning décor and offers a viable alternative to aluminium or canvas fine art prints. The artwork is printed with modern UV direct print technology. It creates rich and impressive colors.

Van de Velde received his first training from his father, a celebrated draftsman of ships. This view of a port combines nautical accuracy with the tonal painting he learned from another teacher, Simon de Vlieger, whose work hangs nearby. The vessels depicted range from small cargo and fishing boats to a state barge and East Indiamen destined for long voyages of trade and imperialism. Two humble figures wade ashore, connecting the maritime panorama to the beholder’s space on solid ground.
