What kind of print materials can I choose?

In the product dropdown selection you can select the material and size of your choice. You can choose among the following product customization options:

• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, which is often named as a fine art print on plexiglass, will turn the original into brilliant décor. Beyond that, the acrylic fine art print is a viable alternative option to canvas and aluminidum dibond art prints. Our plexiglass protects your custom art print against light and external influences for many more years.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your ideal introduction to art replicas on aluminum. For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected artwork right onto the aluminium composite surface. The bright sections of the original work of art shimmer with a silk gloss, however without the glare. This direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a truly contemporary way to showcase art, since it draws focus on the replica of the artwork.
• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed canvas paper with a fine structure on the surface, which resembles the original work of art. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
• Canvas print: The canvas print is a printed canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher. It generates a distinctive effect of three dimensionality. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.

Here Claude Monet’s future wife, Camille Doncieux, sits on an island in the Seine River, looking toward the hamlet of Gloton, next to the town of Bennecourt, from which she and Monet have presumably rowed. This is the only painting to survive from the brief period that the couple spent in Gloton, which the novelist Émile Zola recommended to Monet as a cheap rural retreat that was easily accessible from Paris. Pentimenti (underpainting) suggest that in an early stage of the painting, Camille held a bonneted child, presumably the couple’s baby, Jean.
