For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your chosen artwork right on the aluminium white-primed surface.

• Poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed flat cotton canvas with a nice texture on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, which is often denoted as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms an original into brilliant wall decoration. Additionally, it is a distinct alternative option to dibond and canvas fine art prints.

This composition symbolizes the Sorbonne, one of Paris’s historic universities. According to Puvis, the woman enthroned at center personifies the school. Figures surrounding her represent the institution’s ideals and major areas of study, including philosophy, history, and the sciences. Puvis made this sketch during his final year of work on a mural that he completed for the grand lecture hall of the new Sorbonne building in 1889. The grid lines used to transfer the present composition are visible through the paint.
