Choose your favorite art print material variant

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

• The canvas print: A printed canvas mounted on a wood stretcher frame. A canvas has a plastic impression of three-dimensionality. What is more, canvas print generates a cosy and warm appearance. How can I hang a canvas on my wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed canvas paper with a slight finish on the surface. The poster is best qualified for framing the fine art print with a personal frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm around the work of art, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, often referred to as a UV print on plexiglass, will turn your favorite original work of art into home decoration and is a good alternative option to aluminium and canvas art prints. The major advantage of a plexiglass fine art copy is that contrasts plus small painting details will be recognizeable because of the very fine tonal gradation in the print. Our real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against light and heat for decades.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an impressive depth effect. Its non-reflective surface structure creates a fashionable impression. The colors are vivid and luminous, fine details appear clear and crisp, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel.

What does the curator team of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about the artwork created by Georges Seurat? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

At the Salon des Indépendants in 1888 Seurat demonstrated the versatility of his technique by exhibiting Circus Sideshow, a nighttime outdoor scene in artificial light, and Models, an indoor, daylight scene (Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia). This is Seurat’s first nocturnal painting and the first to depict popular entertainment. It represents the parade, or sideshow, of the Circus Corvi at the annual Gingerbread Fair, held in eastern Paris around the place de la Nation, in spring 1887. Sideshows were staged outside the circus tent, for free, to entice passersby to purchase tickets. The onlookers at the far right are queued on stairs leading to the box office.
