Pick a product material variant

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

• Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a printed canvas paper with a slightly roughened surface structure, which resembles the original version of the masterpiece. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing.
• Printed acrylic glass with a glossy effect: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is often referred to as a fine art print on plexiglass, makes your favorite artwork into amazing décor. The artwork will be custom-made thanks to the help of state-of-the-art UV direct print machines. This creates the impression of intense and stunning color tones. The great upside of an acrylic glass fine art copy is that contrasts plus color details become more identifiable thanks to the subtle gradation in the print.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an impressive depth. For our Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your chosen artwork right onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum.
• The canvas print: A canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. It creates a typical look of three dimensionality. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for all types of walls.

Important information: We try whatever we can to describe the products with as many details as possible and to demonstrate them visually on the different product detail pages. Still, the pigments of the printed materials, as well as the imprint might diverge somehwat from the representation on the device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all colors can be printed 100% realistically. Given that our art reproductions are printed and processed by hand, there might as well be minor variations in the motif's exact position and the size.

In 1773 Nicolás Enríquez created this set of five paintings for the private devotional use of Juan Bautista Echeverría, a Spanish-born merchant. Echeverría’s choice of subject matter is highly personal, reflecting both his Basque roots and his extended residence in Mexico. Enríquez lavished special attention on this painting of Echeverría’s namesake, Saint John, who is shown baptizing Christ in the Jordan. The painter took care to detail the crystalline drops of water poured on Christ’s head and to show his feet submerged in the flowing water of the river. An inscription avows that the image was painted "due to the devotion" of its owner.
