What would be your preferred fine art print material?

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• Canvas print: A printed canvas applied on a wood frame. In addition to that, a canvas generates a familiar and enjoyable appearance. How can I hang a canvas on my wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all types of walls.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed canvas with a slightly roughened finish on the surface, that reminds the actual masterpiece. Please keep 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 work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with an outstanding effect of depth - for a modern look and non-reflective surface. For our Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your favorite artpiece right onto the surface of the aluminum material.
• The acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes labelled as a UV print on plexiglass, will change your favorite original work of art into brilliant décor. Additionally, the acrylic print is a good alternative option to canvas and dibond fine art prints. Your own copy of the work of art will be printed thanks to modern UV print machines. This creates the image effect of vivid, deep colors. The great upside of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts as well as small details become more exposed with the help of the precise tonal gradation.

This flirtatious duo in classicizing dress, painted with notable technical finesse, reflects Cot’s allegiance to the academic style of his teachers, including Bouguereau and Cabanel. Exhibited at the Salon of 1873, the picture was Cot’s greatest success, widely admired and copied in engravings, fans, porcelains, and tapestries. Its first owner, hardware tycoon John Wolfe, awarded the work a prime spot in his Manhattan mansion, where visitors delighted in "this reveling pair of children, drunken with first love ... this Arcadian idyll, peppered with French spice." Wolfe’s cousin, Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, later commissioned a similar scene from Cot, The Storm, now also in the Metropolitan’s collection (87.15.134).
