Selectable materials

For every product we offer different materials and sizes. The following options are available for individualization:

• Aluminium dibond (metal print): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an impressive depth. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect introduction to replicas on aluminum. For your Aluminium Dibond option, we print the artpiece onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. The bright & white components of the original work of art shine with a silky gloss but without any glow. The direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a sophisticated way to display artworks, because it draws attention on the replica of the artwork.
• Acrylic glass print: The print on acrylic glass, often referenced as a UV print on plexiglass, will change your original work of art into brilliant décor. Your own version of the artwork is being custom-made with the help of modern UV printing machines. It makes sharp, vivid print colors. The great advantage of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts as well as granular color details will be recognizeable with the help of the very subtle gradation.
• Printed poster (canvas material): A poster is a printed cotton canvas with a granular surface texture. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2 - 6cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: The canvas print is a printed canvas stretched on a wood frame. Also, a printed canvas makes a lively and appealing feeling. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Therefore, canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.

Legal disclaimer: We try in order to describe the products as accurately as possible and to illustrate them visually. Although, the tone of the print materials, as well as the imprint can vary marginally from the presentation on the device's screen. Depending on your settings of your screen and the nature of the surface, color pigments might not be printed as realisitcally as the digital version shown here. Given that all the art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there might also be slight variations in the motif's size and exact position.

In a barren, mountainous landscape, the three wise kings Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar meet to continue their journey to Bethlehem. Heralds on prancing horses blare trumpets to proclaim the unification of humankind at the birth of Jesus. On the peaked mountains above, the kings appear again at an earlier moment. Their diminutive figures stand or kneel, watching for the star that will lead them to their king. In the right and left corners of the foreground, Isaiah and David hold scrolling banners inscribed with the Old Testament prophecies of the Adoration of the Magi. The Assumption of the Virgin appears on the other side of this panel. Borne aloft by musical angels, the Virgin Mary slowly ascends to be crowned Queen of Heaven by God the Father above. Circles of pastel colors--yellow, pink, and blue--radiate from her, ending with clouds painted in each corner of the composition.

An altarpiece wing functions like a door to a cabinet. Artists often painted both sides of a wing so that a picture would be visible whether the "door" was opened or closed. Because this panel is painted on two sides, it may have once formed part of such a wing.
