Your product product material options

The product dropdown menu ofers you the opportunity to select your individual size and material. You can choose among the following product customization options:

• Acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, often denoted as a fine art print on plexiglass, changes your chosen original artwork into magnificient home decoration. The work of art is made with modern UV direct printing technology. This creates the impression of vivid, stunning colors. The great upside of a plexiglass fine art print is that contrasts and smaller painting details will be recognizeable thanks to the very subtle gradation of the picture. Our real glass coating protects your chosen art replica against sunlight and external influences for many years.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster is a printed flat canvas paper with a nice finish on the surface. A poster print is best designed for framing the fine art print using a customized frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the artwork to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: The UV printed canvas stretched on a wooden frame. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
• Aluminium dibond: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect introduction to fine art reproductions on aluminum. For your Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print your favorite work of art right on the surface of the aluminum. The colors are luminous in the highest definition, fine details are crisp and clear, and there’s a matte look that you can literally feel.

Important information: We try everything in order to describe the products as clearly as possible and to illustrate them visually. However, the tone of the print materials and the imprint can vary slightly from the representation on your device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the condition of the surface, not all colors will be printed 100% realistically.

Additional description from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Unrivaled for its scale and ambition, this monumental forest scene was begun early in Rousseau's career and remained unfinished at the time of his death, despite the urging of Millet and other artist friends to complete and exhibit it. By one account, Rousseau’s intention was to recreate the effect of a sunset he had seen in Bas-Bréau, a section of Fontainebleau forest, in December 1845. The tangled web of trees, denuded of foliage and suffused with deep color, conveys a sense of awe before nature that is amplified by the presence of two stooped peasants at the center.
