“One instant, one aspect of nature contains it all,” said Claude Monet, referring to his late masterpieces, the water landscapes that he produced at his home in Giverny between 1897 and his death in 1926. These works replaced the varied contemporary subjects he had painted from the 1870s through the 1890s with a single, timeless motif—water lilies. The focal point of these paintings was the artist’s beloved flower garden, which featured a water garden and a smaller pond spanned by a Japanese footbridge. In his first water-lily series (1897–99), Monet painted the pond environment, with its plants, bridge, and trees neatly divided by a fixed horizon. Over time, the artist became less and less concerned with conventional pictorial space. By the time he painted Water Lilies, which comes from his third group of these works, he had dispensed with the horizon line altogether. In this spatially ambiguous canvas, the artist looked down, focusing solely on the surface of the pond, with its cluster of vegetation floating amid the reflection of sky and trees. Monet thus created the image of a horizontal surface on a vertical one.

Select your desired material

For every art print we offer a range of different sizes and materials. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. A canvas has the plastic look of three dimensionality. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for any type of wall.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an outstanding depth effect. Its non-reflective surface creates a modern impression. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your ideal start to the sophisticated world of fine art reproductions on aluminum. For our Aluminium Dibond option, we print your favorite artwork right onto the surface of the aluminum material. The bright parts of the work of art shine with a silk gloss, however without the glow.
• The poster print (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed sheet of canvas paper with a fine texture on the surface. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the artwork to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Printed acrylic glass: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes referred to as a plexiglass print, transforms the artwork into wonderful wall decoration and makes a distinct alternative to aluminium or canvas fine art replicas. The artwork is custom-made with modern UV print machines. The great upside of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts and minor painting details will be visible thanks to the fine tonal gradation.
