In the product dropdown lists you can select the size and materialaccording to your preferences. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:

• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an outstanding depth. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your selected work of art onto the surface of the aluminum material.
• Poster print (canvas material): Our poster print is a UV printed sheet of canvas with a slightly roughened surface structure, which resembles the actual version of the artwork. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the work of art to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: A canvas direct print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher. It creates a plastic effect of three-dimensionality. How can I hang a canvas on my wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang up the Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
• The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes denoted as a an art print on plexiglass, will convert an original into beautiful home décor. What is more, the acrylic glass fine art print makes a good alternative option to canvas and aluminidum dibond art prints. The work of art is made with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. This creates the image effect of deep and vivid colors. The major upside of a plexiglass print is that contrasts plus smaller painting details become more exposed due to the very subtle tonal gradation. The plexiglass protects your custom art print against light and heat for between four and 6 decades.

Riter Fitzgerald—the art, music, and literary critic for the Philadelphia Evening Item—championed Thomas Eakins’s work and publicly defended the artist when his teaching methods proved controversial. Eakins’s portrait of the journalist is informed by Fitzgerald’s open-minded opinions, his appreciation of diverse art forms, and his commitment to intellectual life. Comfortably seated in his book-lined library, Fitzgerald is portrayed as a genteel man who enjoys a leisurely, yet contemplative lifestyle. With an open book in his lap, he thoughtfully gazes into the distance, peacefully lost in the realm of ideas.
