Pick your product material

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:

• Poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a printed sheet of flat canvas with a granular surface finish, which resembles the actual artwork. It is suited for putting the fine art print with a custom-made frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6 cm round about the print in order to facilitate the framing.
• Canvas print: A canvas print, not to be confused with a real artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital replica applied onto cotton canvas fabric. A canvas creates the distinctive impression of three dimensionality. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes described as a fine art print on plexiglass, makes the original artwork into beautiful home décor. The great benefit of an acrylic glass art print is that contrasts plus smaller artwork details become more visible due to the fine tonal gradation of the print. The acrylic glass protects your custom art print against light and external influences for several decades.
• Metal (aluminium dibond print): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an outstanding depth. For your Aluminium Dibond option, we print the artpiece on the surface of the white-primed aluminum. This direct print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly sophisticated way to showcase fine art prints, as it draws attention on the image.

General description from the museum's website (© Copyright - by The J. Paul Getty Museum - www.getty.edu)

In this narrative history painting, Joseph Mallord William Turner expressed the power of nature and the heroism of man through the eyes of a Romantic painter. Turner used quick, slanting brushstrokes to describe the stormy sky. The application of scumbled white paint suggests churning, turbulent seas and the heavy spray of waves hitting the ship's bow. Tones of brown paint near the bottom of the canvas give a sense of the sea's violent power.

On the foredeck of a ship that strains against the waves, a man stands in a white uniform and waves with confidence. While scholars are uncertain of the exact historical event Turner described, one probable interpretation is that the man depicted here is Dutch naval officer Cornelis Van Tromp, who was dismissed from naval service in 1666 after failing to follow orders. Van Tromp was reinstated in service and reconciled with his navy superiors in 1673. In perhaps a symbolic overture signaling his submission to authority, Tromp is shown, in Turner's words, "going about to please his Masters."
