Please note, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• The canvas print: A canvas print, not to be mistaken with a canvas painting, is a digital replica printed directly on canvas. 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 the support of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any type of wall.

Elihu Vedder probed questions of the mind in his paintings and illustrations, creating complex, visionary compositions often centered on literary or spiritual subject matter. The lunette A Glimpse into Hell, or Fear is drawn from 14th-century poet Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, the first part of his epic poem, Divine Comedy. Here, five females confront the gate of Hell. Beholding such a sight, they express apprehension and fear, accentuated by the swirling forms of their draperies and hair. Vedder focused on the figures’ psychological tension, rather than the spectacle of the environs itself, depicting only a sliver of fiery flames at bottom left.
