The product dropdown menu ofers you the chance to choose your favorite size and material. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a printed cotton canvas with a slightly rough surface structure. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm around the print, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a real artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed onto cotton canvas. Your canvas print of your favorite artpiece will let you turn your fine art print into a large artwork like you would see in a gallery. How do I hang a canvas print on my wall? A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all types of walls.
• Acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes described as a UV print on plexiglass, will transform the original into amazing décor. Above all, it makes a great alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an outstanding effect of depth - for a modern look and non-reflective surface. For the Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite work of art right on the aluminium composite surface. The white and bright sections of the original work of art shimmer with a silk gloss, however without glare.

Liss, from northwestern Germany, reportedly studied in Haarlem and about 1620 travelled through Antwerp and Paris to Italy. After a period in Venice he worked in Rome (ca. 1622-25), where he painted works eclectically reminiscent of Caravaggio’s followers, Annibale Carracci, Rubens, and other Italian and Netherlandish artists. This poetic picture was painted under the influence of Titian’s pastoral imagery (which inspired Poussin at about the same time). Not unlike the viewer, a passing shepherd has discovered a sleeping nymph who is at once intensely physical and a vision of innocent youth.
