Carl Gustav Carus, 1833 - Schloss Milkel in Moonlight - fine art print

Original information about the work of art by the museum (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The Baroque manor house at Milkel, near Dresden, is depicted from its rear garden in an atmosphere of deep calm. While nature’s fecundity is illuminated by the moon, two windows glow softly, revealing a human presence—the sign of someone awake late at night. Carus wrote that "supreme reality is manifest both inwardly, through the rational mind, and outwardly, through nature," a duality represented in this painting by lamplight and moonlight.

What would be your preferred fine art print material?

For every art print we offer different materials and sizes. The following options are available for individualization:

• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often named a fine art print on plexiglass, changes your favorite artwork into amazing home decoration. The major upside of an acrylic glass fine art print is that sharp contrasts and small details become more exposed because of the granular gradation. The plexiglass protects your custom art print against light and heat for between 4 and six decades.
• The canvas print: The printed canvas, which shall not be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed on a UV direct printing machine. It produces a typical impression of three dimensionality. A printed canvas generates a attractive and comfy ambience. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
• The poster print (canvas material): A poster print is a printed cotton canvas with a nice surface structure, which resembles the actual artwork. The printed poster is excellently used for framing your fine art print with the help of a custom-made frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2 - 6cm around the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond with an outstanding depth effect. The bright and white sections of the artwork shine with a silk gloss but without the glare. The UV print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely sophisticated way to showcase fine art reproductions, because it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the artwork.
