- Printed acrylic glass: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes denoted as a an art print on plexiglass, will turn an artwork into wonderful wall decoration. Beyond that, the acrylic glass print is a viable alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond art prints. The artwork will be manufactured with modern UV direct printing technology.

The acrylic glass protects your selected art print against sunlight and external influences for many more years to come.

Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.

Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.

Original description by Barnes Foundation (© - by Barnes Foundation - www.barnesfoundation.org)
This picture is unusual in Cézanne's oeuvre for its specific literary subject matter. It represents the story from Ovid's Metamorphoses in which Zeus disguises himself as a swan to seduce Leda, the daughter of King Thestius. This is certainly one of the artist's more overtly sensual paintings: Leda displays herself for the viewer, hip curving dramatically and cheeks flushed, while the swan's beak wraps around her wrist as if taking possession of her. Cézanne made two drawings in preparation for the painting, one of which shows the figure holding a champagne flute.
