What kind of product materials can I order?

The product dropdown menu ofers you the opportunity to select your prefered material and size. The following options are available for individualization:

• Metal print (aluminium dibond): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an outstanding depth effect. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best introduction to art prints with alu. For your Aluminium Dibond print, we print your chosen artpiece right onto the surface of the aluminum material. The bright and white parts of the original work of art shine with a silk gloss, however without the glow. The colors of the print are luminous and bright, the details are very clear, and there’s a matte appearance that you can literally feel.
• Canvas: A canvas print is a printed canvas mounted on a wood frame. Further, a printed canvas produces a charming and comfortable look. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all types of walls.
• Acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, often referred to as a UV print on plexiglass, will transform your favorite original into beautiful décor and is a good alternative option to dibond or canvas fine art replicas. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and smaller painting details become more exposed thanks to the fine gradation. Our real glass coating protects your custom art replica against light and heat for several decades.
• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster is a printed flat canvas paper with a slightly roughened texture on the surface, that resembles the original masterpiece. The poster print is excellently designed for framing 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 of approximately 2-6 cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

Legal note: We try our best to describe the art products with as many details as possible and to showcase them visually. However, the tone of the print products, as well as the imprint may diverge marginally from the presentation on your monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the nature of the surface, colors can unfortunately not be printed as exactly as the digital version depicted here. In view of the fact that our fine art prints are processed and printed manually, there may as well be slight differences in the exact position and the size of the motif.

Courbet painted this work during an intensely productive visit to Trouville with James McNeill Whistler from September until November 1865; in a letter to his father, the artist boasted that he had executed "thirty-five paintings" in a very short time, which "stunned everybody." In his choice of subject, Courbet followed in the wake of Eugène Isabey, Johan Barthold Jongkind, and Eugène Boudin; but unlike many of the canvases executed at the time, this fishing boat, rigged and filled with equipment, is the focus of the composition rather than a subordinate element. In 1899, this became the first work by Courbet to enter the Museum’s collection.
