Choose a art print material option

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

• The glossy acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is often named as a UV print on plexiglass, changes the artwork into beautiful décor. In addition to that, it forms a distinct alternative option to aluminium or canvas fine art prints. The work of art is being manufactured with the help of modern UV printing machines. This creates impressive, vivid print colors. The major benefit of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and also painting details become identifiable thanks to the very fine tonal gradation. The plexiglass protects your chosen art replica against light and external influences for many years.
• Poster (canvas material): Our poster is a printed canvas with a slightly roughened surface finish. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6 cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond with a true effect of depth. Its non-reflective surface creates a contemporary impression. For the Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print the work of art on the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The colors are vivid and luminous, the details appear crisp, and the print has a a matte appearance you can literally feel. The print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a truly modern way to showcase art, as it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the whole artwork.
• Canvas print: A canvas print, which shall not be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed directly on cotton canvas. Hanging a canvas print: The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.

Louis XV succeeded to the throne of France in 1715 upon the death of his great-grandfather, Louis XIV, who had reigned for more than seventy years. The five-year-old boy was the only surviving son of Louis, duc de Bourgogne, and Marie Adélaïde de Savoie, both of whom had died of smallpox in 1712. The canvas is one of many versions of Rigaud’s first official portrait of Louis XV, which was commissioned by the regent, the duc d’Orléans, for the palace of Versailles.
