Selectable product materials

We offer a range of various materials and sizes for every product. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Aluminium dibond: These are metal prints on alu dibond material with a true depth - for a modern impression and non-reflective surface structure. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the ideal introduction to fine replicas produced with aluminum. For your Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your favorite artpiece onto the aluminium white-primed surface. The bright and white parts of the work of art shimmer with a silk gloss but without any glare. The direct print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a contemporary way to display fine art reproductions, as it draws focus on the replica of the artwork.
• Canvas: A UV printed canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher frame. A printed canvas creates a cosy and appealing ambience. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.
• Poster print (canvas material): The poster print is a printed canvas with a nice finish on the surface, which resembles the actual work of art. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes labelled as a fine art print on plexiglass, transforms your favorite original artwork into beautiful décor. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and minor color details will be more visible with the help of the subtle tonal gradation.

Disclaimer: We try what we can to describe the products as precisely as possible and to illustrate them visually. However, the tone of the printing material, as well as the print result might differ to a certain extent from the representation on the monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the nature of the surface, colors may not be printed as exactly as the digital version on this website. Considering that all our art prints are printed and processed manually, there may also be minor differences in the motif's exact position and the size.

The masts of ships docked on the Hudson River can be seen through the window of John Q. Aymar's home on Greenwich Street in New York, marking his success as an importer of rum and coffee from the West Indies. More to the point, his mercantile prowess is displayed in his richly furnished parlor, replete with fine carpets, draperies, and furniture in the latest fashion: a marble-top center table adorned with fruit and a paisley shawl, a pier table with a gilded mirror, and a sideboard. Aymar's wife, Elizabeth, and two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, complete the scene of domestic harmony. Long attributed by the Aymar family to Samuel F. B. Morse, the painting has been reassigned to George Twibill, who was a student of Morse at the National Academy of Design. Twibill's rare works are unfailingly meticulous and charming, and here the expression of warmth is redoubled by the accuracy of the interior.The Aymar family presented this painting to the Museum along with most of the furniture that is shown in it. It is thus not only a lovely portrait but also an extraordinary document of life in New York in the 1830s.
