Product materials our customers can choose from

In the product dropdown menu you can select your individual material and size. You can choose your preferred material and size among the following preferences:

• The canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be confused with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital image applied on a cotton canvas. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
• Glossy acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is often named as a print on plexiglass, will change the original work of art into marvellous wall decoration. Your work of art will be made with the help of modern UV print machines. Our plexiglass protects your custom art replica against light and external influences for several decades.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an outstanding effect of depth. The non-reflective surface creates a contemporary look. For our Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your chosen artwork onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. The white & bright parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silk gloss but without the glare.
• Poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed sheet of canvas paper with a slightly rough finish on the surface. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the artwork, which facilitates the framing.

Important legal note: We try the best we can to depict the art products as closely as possible and to showcase them visually in our shop. At the same time, the colors of the print products, as well as the printing can diverge marginally from the image on the device's monitor. Depending on the settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, not all colors are printed as exactly as the digital version shown here. Given that all the are printed and processed by hand, there might also be minor deviations in the exact position and the size of the motif.

Additional information on the original artwork from Rijksmuseum (© - Rijksmuseum - Rijksmuseum)

Kenau Hasselaer was said to have defended her city heroically and with total disregard for her safety during the Spanish siege of Haarlem in 1573. She was the subject of later portraits and written accounts. All of it, however, was invented, a thrilling legend typical of the times. In Dutch usage, a ‘kenau’ is a woman who is not afraid of anybody or anything.
