Materials you can pick

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

• The canvas print: A canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. A canvas of your favorite work of art will allow you to transform your very own into a large size artwork. Canvas Prints have the great advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. Because of thatcanvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
• Poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed canvas paper with a granular structure on the surface. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the artwork in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an outstanding depth effect. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your best start to fine art reproductions on aluminum. For our Aluminium Dibond print, we print your chosen artwork on the aluminium surface. The bright and white parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silk gloss but without the glare. Colors are luminous in the highest definition, the details are very clear, and there’s a matte appearance you can literally feel.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass: An print on acrylic glass, often referenced as a plexiglass print, will transform your favorite original work of art into magnificient décor. The artwork is custom-made with state-of-the-art UV direct print technology. The major advantage of an acrylic glass fine art copy is that contrasts as well as granular artwork details become identifiable with the help of the very subtle gradation. The acrylic glass protects your chosen art print against light and external influences for many years.

Important note: We try everything in order to depict our art products with as many details as possible and to exhibit them visually on the product detail pages. At the same time, some tone of the print products, as well as the imprint may differ to a certain extent from the image on the monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the condition of the surface, colors might not be printed 100% realistically. In view of the fact that our art prints are printed and processed by hand, there might as well be minor deviations in the motif's exact position and the size.

By age 30, Édouard Manet had gained recognition at the state-sponsored Salon exhibition in Paris and established himself as the artist to watch, creating new imagery for contemporary works that translated Old Master painting into a modern idiom. Here he looked to the 17th-century Baroque artist Diego Velázquez, whose two paintings of world-weary philosophers (Aesop and Menippus, both c. 1638) Manet had admired that year at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. Like Velázquez’s representation of the ancient stoics (whose poverty is associated with wisdom), Manet’s beggar-philosophers fit into the popular notion of the social outcast as a seer possessing rare insight.
