The product dropdown menu gives you the opportunity to pick the material and sizeaccording to your personal preferences. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Canvas print: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood stretcher. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Therefore, canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print: An acrylic glass print, which is often labelled as a print on plexiglass, will transform the artwork into gorgeous wall decoration and is a good alternative option to dibond or canvas prints. Your work of art is custom-made with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. The major advantage of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts and small details become visible with the help of the very subtle tonal gradation.
• The poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a UV printed sheet of canvas with a nice surface finish. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true depth effect. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the perfect start to fine art reproductions on aluminum. The bright parts of the artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without glow. The colors are luminous, details of the print appear crisp. The direct print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is an extremely sophisticated way to showcase art reproductions, since it draws attention on the replica of the artwork.

Important legal note: We try whatever we can to describe the art products with as many details as possible and to demonstrate them visually. However, the colors of the printed materials and the print result might vary marginally from the image on your monitor. Depending on your settings of your screen and the nature of the surface, color pigments might not be printed as realistically as the digital version. Given that the art prints are processed and printed by hand, there may as well be slight deviations in the motif's exact position and the size.

Bashi-bazouks, mercenary soldiers in the army of the Turkish sultan, were known for their lawlessness and brutality, but Gérôme usually depicted them at leisure, as he did here, rather than engaged in battle. His frequent repetitions of the subject over a thirty-year period, in conjunction with a technique that matured early and changed little, make these canvases difficult to date on the basis of style alone. Gérôme probably completed this painting soon before he sold it to his Parisian dealer, Goupil, in 1884.
