The product material choices

We offer a range of different sizes and materials for every product. Pick your favorite size and material among the following options:

• Acrylic glass print: An print on acrylic glass, often labelled as a plexiglass print, will transform the original work of art into wonderful décor. The great upside of a plexiglass print is that contrasts and granular painting details become visible with the help of the precise gradation.
• Canvas: The canvas print, which should not be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy applied onto cotton canvas fabric. Furthermore, a canvas print generates a lively, warm ambience. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Poster print (canvas material): A poster print is a UV printed canvas with a slight surface texture. It is used for putting your art copy in a personal frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the painting in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an impressive effect of depth. Its non-reflective surface structure make a fashionable impression. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your best introduction to the sophisticated world of replicas manufactured on aluminum. The bright and white parts of the original artpiece shine with a silky gloss, however without any glow. The print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly modern way to showcase art, because it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the artwork.

General description by the museum's website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Although recently published as a work by Werner van den Valckert (born about 1585, died 1627/28), this panel is almost certainly a comparatively early work by another Amsterdam portraitist, Nicolaes Eliasz. At the death of the conservative Cornelis van der Voort (born about 1576, died 1624), Eliasz. and the young Thomas de Keyser (see A Musician and His Daughter of 1629, 64.65.4) became the leading portraitists in Amsterdam until Rembrandt arrived in the winter of 1631–32. In its description of physical qualities and in expression this portrait is engaging, but its lack of animation and psychological intensity make the contemporary ascents of Hals and Rembrandt easy to understand.
