Choose a item material option

In the dropdown lists next to the product you can choose your individual material and size. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often named a plexiglass print, will transform the original artwork into great wall décor. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and painting details become visible because of the precise tonal gradation of the print. Our acrylic glass protects your selected art print against light and heat for between four and six decades.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed flat canvas with a slightly roughened texture on the surface. A poster print is optimally used for framing the art print with a custom frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art to facilitate the framing.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with a true effect of depth. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the perfect introduction to fine art reproductions made on aluminum. For our Aluminium Dibond option, we print the chosen artwork on the aluminium surface. The white and bright sections of the original artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without the glare. The direct print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly modern way to display art reproductions, since it draws attention on the whole artwork.
• Canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. A canvas produces the plastic look of three-dimensionality. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all types of walls.

Legal note: We try our best to describe our products as exact as possible and to illustrate them visually on the product detail pages. Nonetheless, the colors of the printed materials and the printing might differ to a certain extent from the image on the device's screen. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, color pigments might not be printed 100% realistically. Given that all art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there might as well be minor discrepancies in the motif's size and exact position.

What does the curator team of the The Cleveland Museum of Art say about the work of art painted by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson? (© - The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

The goddess of the dawn, Aurora, fell in love with the shepherd Cephalus. She eventually seized him at daybreak, bringing him to the heavens while he slept—the scene Girodet has painted here. Later, missing his wife, Procris, Cephalus begs to return. Aurora agrees, giving him a magic spear that kills every target, including his wife, when he mistakes her for an animal in the brush.
