Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without the help of extra wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suited for all kinds of walls.

For our Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print the favorite artwork right on the aluminium white-primed surface. The bright & white sections of the original work of art shine with a silk gloss but without glare. The direct print on aluminium is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a sophisticated way to display art, as it puts the viewer’s attention on the whole artwork.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often described as a plexiglass print, changes the original artwork into décor. Furthermore, it is a viable alternative to canvas or dibond prints. The artwork is being made with state-of-the-art UV direct print technology. Our real glass coating protects your custom art print against light and external influences for many decades.

Trained as a printmaker and book illustrator, Meissonier specialized in small paintings depicting scenes from French history and literature. This painting on wood panel depicts a man dressed like a character from The Three Musketeers (published in 1844) by Alexandre Dumas père. Such paintings, admired for their technical virtuosity and romantic subjects, were immensely popular. Meissonier also painted contemporary military subjects and themes and became an arch-foe of the Realist painter Gustave Courbet.
