Additional information on the original artwork from the museum (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
When A City on a Rock was purchased in Spain in the mid-1880s by an American collector, it was attributed to Francisco de Goya (1746–1828). The painting is now thought to be by one of Goya's followers and may have been painted as late as 1850–75. The artist has studied Goya's technique, and has produced a painting sufficiently close to his style that it was accepted by most authorities until about 1970. The picture appears to be a pastiche, as many compositional elements derive from autograph works by Goya.

Product materials our customers can choose from
In the dropdown lists right next to the product you can choose the material and size of your choice. You can choose among the following product customization options:
- Poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed cotton canvas with a granular surface texture. It is best designed for framing your art replica with a personal frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm around the print motif to facilitate the framing.
- Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, often labelled as a plexiglass print, will change your favorite artwork into great home décor. The work of art will be made with modern UV printing machines. The great benefit of a plexiglass fine art print is that contrasts and color details will be more visible due to the precise gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your custom art print against sunlight and external influences for many years to come.
- Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an impressive depth. For the Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite artwork onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum material.
- Canvas print: The canvas print, which should not be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed from an industrial printer. A canvas generates the extra look of three dimensionality. Further, a canvas print produces a cosy and pleasing feeling. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
