A canvas of your favorite work of art will allow you to transform your art print into a large size artpiece like you would see in a gallery. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
• Glossy acrylic glass print: The print on acrylic glass, often described as a print on plexiglass, will change the artwork into brilliant décor. Your favorite work of art will be custom-made with the help of state-of-the-art UV print technology.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true depth effect. The bright components of the original work of art shimmer with a silky gloss, however without the glow. The colors of the print are luminous, the details are very clear, and you can notice the matte appearance of the fine art print.

Inspired by Dutch Caravaggesque painters such as Gerrit van Honthorst and Hendrick ter Brugghen, Hals painted pictures of carefree musicians during the mid- to late 1620s. Here a young man pours a last drop of red wine onto his thumbnail, a signal to the innkeeper that he needs a refill, and to the viewer that (according to a Dutch rhyme of the period) "The glass is empty. Time is up." While Hals's authorship cannot be doubted, the picture's appearance has been affected by changes made by the artist himself and by later restorers. For example, the collar on the shirt and the lute string crossing over the thumb (thus obscuring the gesture's meaning) are not original.

This more than 390 year-old artpiece Boy with a Lute was painted by the baroque painter Frans Hals. The painting was painted with the absolute dimensions: 28 3/8 x 23 1/4 in (72,1 x 59,1 cm) and was painted with the medium oil on canvas. Nowadays, this artpiece forms part of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art's digital art collection.
