In the dropdown selection next to the article you can pick the material and sizeaccording to your preferences. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• Acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, often named a plexiglass print, will convert an artwork into brilliant décor. What is more, the acrylic glass art print offers a great alternative to dibond or canvas prints. The major advantage of a plexiglass fine art copy is that contrasts and small painting details will be identifiable thanks to the very subtle gradation.
• Canvas print: The UV printed canvas material applied on a wooden stretcher frame. It creates a sculptural impression of three dimensionality. Additionally, a canvas creates a cosy, appealing appearance. A canvas print of your favorite artpiece will allow you to transform your personal into a large size collection piece. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Printed poster (canvas material): A poster print is a UV printed canvas paper with a fine surface structure, which reminds the actual version of the work of art. It is suited for framing your art replica with a personal frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with a true effect of depth. The Aluminium Dibond Print is your ideal introduction to art reproductions with aluminum. The white & bright components of the work of art shimmer with a silk gloss but without any glow. This direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a modern way to showcase art prints, since it draws focus on the whole artwork.

What does the original description of the Nationalmuseum Stockholm state about this 18th century artwork from the painter Carl Frederik von Breda? (© - Nationalmuseum Stockholm - www.nationalmuseum.se)

English: After many years living in England, Carl Fredric von Breda returned to Stockholm in 1796. The following year, he completed a full-length portrait of Teresa Vandoni – an Italian opera singer and actress who appeared on stage all over Stockholm in the mid-1790s. In London, von Breda had been strongly influenced by British portraitists such as Thomas Gainsborough. Back home, these experiences informed his own artistic style, and the portrait of Teresa Vandoni is quite probably inspired by Gainsborough’s full-length portraits of English noblewomen in an outdoor setting. The portrait was shown to great acclaim at the Royal Academy exhibition in Stockholm in 1798. With a small dog under her arm and a garland of flowers in her hand, Vandoni is strolling through a wild and overgrown parkland scene at Bellevue, near Brunnsviken on the outskirts of Stockholm. Her light and simple dress was the height of fashion at the time and an allusion to the much admired sculptures of Ancient Rome and Greece. This painting thus unites two of the era’s key cultural trends – a fascination for classical antiquity and a new interest in nature. Efter en mångårig vistelse i England hade Carl Fredric von Breda 1796 återvänt till Stockholm. Året därpå utförde han det här helfigursporträttet av Teresa Vandoni – en italiensk sångerska och skådespelerska som vid mitten av 1790-talet framträdde på Stockholms opera- och teaterscener. I London hade von Breda tagit starka intryck av brittiska porträttmålare som Thomas Gainsborough. Efter hemkomsten kom dessa erfarenheter att prägla hans konstnärskap, och en viktig inspirationskälla för porträttet av Teresa Vandoni var sannolikt Gainsboroughs helfigursporträtt av engelska adelsdamer avbildade ute i det fria. 1798 visades porträttet på Konstakademiens utställning i Stockholm, och rönte genast uppskattning. Med en liten hund på armen och en blomsterkrans i handen vandrar Vandoni genom ett vildvuxet parklandskap vid Bellevue, nära Brunnsviken i Stockholms omgivningar. Hennes tunna och enkla klänning var vid denna tid högsta mode och avsedd att ge associationer till den av samtiden mycket beundrade romerska och grekiska skulpturkonsten. Därigenom förenas i målningen två av tidens viktiga kulturella strömningar – fascinationen för den klassiska antiken och det nya intresset för naturen.
