In brilliant detail, Claude-Joseph Vernet captured the gorgeous weather and leisurely activities of a day by the sea. Fishermen clean the day's catch on a stone pier while several people chat nearby, one of them pointing toward the large ship in the bay. Meanwhile, a man sits and smokes his pipe, the tobacco glowing a bright red. A cumulus cloud, perhaps the remnant of a distant storm, towers to the left of the setting sun. Warm tones of yellow, orange and red predominate, suggesting a hazy sunset after a bright day.
In A Calm, Vernet portrayed a completely peaceful scene in striking contrast to its pendant, A Storm on a Mediterranean Coast. Taken together, the two works show, on the one hand, nature's benevolence, and on the other, nature's fury.

What kind of materials can I order?
We offer a range of various materials and sizes for every product. You can choose among the following product customization options:
- Aluminium dibond: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with a true depth effect. The non-reflective surface creates a modern look. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your excellent start to the sophisticated world of fine art replicas with aluminum. The colors of the print are luminous, details appear crisp and clear, and you can feel the matte appearance of the art print surface. This print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly sophisticated way to showcase art reproductions, because it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the replica of the artwork.
- Canvas: A canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wooden frame. A canvas generates the extra look of three dimensionality. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang your Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
- Printed poster on canvas material: A poster print is a UV printed canvas paper with a slightly roughened structure on the surface, which reminds the actual masterpiece. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6 cm round about the print in order to facilitate the framing.
- Print on acrylic glass: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes denoted as a fine art print on plexiglass, will convert your favorite artwork into wonderful décor. What is more, the acrylic glass art print forms a viable alternative option to dibond and canvas art prints. The great upside of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts and minor painting details become exposed thanks to the very fine tonal gradation. The real glass coating protects your custom art print against light and heat for between 40-60 years.
