Available material options

For every fine art print we offer a range of different sizes & materials. Select your favorite size and material among the following preferences:

• Poster print (canvas material): A poster print is a printed sheet of flat canvas paper with a slightly rough finish on the surface. A print poster is optimally designed for framing the art replica with a customized frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): An acrylic glass print, which is sometimes described as a an art print on plexiglass, changes your selected original work of art into great wall decoration and offers a viable alternative to canvas and dibond prints. The major upside of a plexiglass print is that contrasts and minor image details become more exposed because of the very fine gradation. Our real glass coating protects your selected art replica against sunlight and heat for up to 60 years.
• Canvas print: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood stretcher. Your printed canvas of your favorite work of art will allow you to transform your own art print into a large artpiece like you would see in a gallery. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any type of wall.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an outstanding effect of depth. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the chosen artpiece onto the surface of the aluminum. The bright & white parts of the original artwork shine with a silk gloss, however without the glow.

General description from the museum (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

This alluring depiction of a woman playing a guitar was painted during Vouet’s years in Rome and reveals his interest in the work of Caravaggio with its dramatic lighting and psychological engagement with the beholder. Women playing guitars have a long history in European painting. Seventeenth-century French engravings of modes and manners often show them, as here, lost in reverie. One, dated 1630, has the caption "Love Conquers All but Music Does Not Conquer Love." In 1627 Simon Vouet, already famous, returned to Paris to become painter to the king and the dominant force in French painting.
