In 1863 Heade took the first of three trips to South America, with an amateur naturalist, the Reverend C. J. Fletcher, to do studies for a projected (though never published) book on hummingbirds. As an outgrowth of that experience, Heade made a large number of paintings of birds and flowers, especially orchids, in a tropical setting. In this way he combined his main interests of still life and landscape--a union of themes he maintained in his work into the 20th century. The paintings are characterized by meticulous and precise rendering of detail and high-keyed luminescent color.

What would be your preferred product material?

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

• The canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood stretcher. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy to hang your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
• The poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a printed flat cotton canvas paper with a granular structure on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the artwork, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an outstanding depth effect. The colors are luminous and bright in the highest definition, details of the print appear clear and crisp, and the print has a a matte appearance that you can literally feel.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass: An acrylic glass print, often named a plexiglass print, will change an original work of art into brilliant décor. The work of art will be custom-made with state-of-the-art UV direct print machines.
