John Trumbull, 1788 - Thomas Jefferson - fine art print

Original artwork description by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

The Connecticut-born, English-trained Trumbull became the leading chronicler of the United States’ newly won independence in the years after the American Revolution. Beginning in 1789, he spent five years traveling up and down the Eastern Seaboard taking "heads" from life, mainly of statesmen and military officers—such as Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Mifflin, displayed here—in addition to Giuseppe Ceracchi, a noted Italian sculptor visiting Philadelphia in search of public commissions. As preparatory studies for Trumbull’s many history paintings, these gem-like miniatures are distinguished by their sensitive characterization and fluid handling.

For our Aluminium Dibond print, we print your favorite artwork onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. Colors are vivid and luminous in the highest definition, details of the print appear crisp. This direct print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a contemporary way to showcase art reproductions, since it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the replica of the artwork.
• Canvas print: The canvas print, not to be confused with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy applied onto canvas fabric. How can I hang a canvas on my wall? The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.

Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the print, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
