A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to fine art reproductions produced with aluminum. The white & bright parts of the original work of art shine with a silk gloss, however without the glow.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed sheet of flat canvas with a slightly roughened texture on the surface, which reminds the actual version of the masterpiece. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wooden frame. A canvas produces a distinctive effect of three-dimensionality. Besides, canvas creates a cosy and comfy effect. A printed canvas of this artwork will provide you with the opportunity to transform your fine art print into a large size artpiece like you would see in a gallery. Canvas Prints have the great advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, which is often described as a plexiglass print, will change your favorite original into wall décor. Additionally, the acrylic glass fine art print offers a good alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints.

This study is the product of one of the earliest known plein-air painting excursions on the Channel coast. With a painterly sensibility honed by the direct observation of nature, Valenciennes sketched the light, atmosphere, and swiftly moving water at the mouth of the river Rance. This exercise was intended to train his eye and hand to capture such fleeting effects so that he could draw from the experience when painting in the studio. The investigatory spirit of Valenciennes’s sketches, painted in France and Italy, mark them as signal achievements of the Enlightenment.
