Fine art print materials which we offer:

For every art print we offer a range of different sizes and materials. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• The canvas print: The printed canvas material mounted on a wood stretcher frame. The canvas generates a soft and comfy ambience. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Poster print (canvas material): A poster is a printed sheet of canvas with a slightly roughened finish on the surface. It is particularly suited for placing your art copy with the help of a custom frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6 cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass: An acrylic glass print, often referred to as a print on plexiglass, will change your favorite original into gorgeous décor.

The real glass coating protects your custom art print against light and external influences for up to 60 years.

Artwork description by Rijksmuseum (© Copyright - by Rijksmuseum - www.rijksmuseum.nl)

The Greek sage Heraclitus was known as the crying philosopher because he mourned the folly of mankind, while his opposite Democritus (the nearby pendant) could only laugh at it. Here Heraclitus looks like a melancholy old man. Downcast, he leans on a terrestrial globe and gestures dismissively with his left hand, as if to say: ‘All is for nought, the world will come to nothing.’
