Choose your material

The product dropdown menu provides you with the possibility to select your favorite material and size. The following options are available for individualization:

• Poster (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed sheet of canvas paper with a granular finish on the surface, which resembles the actual version of the masterpiece. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing.
• The canvas print: The canvas print, not to be confused with a painting on a canvas, is an image printed on an industrial printing machine. In addition to that, a printed canvas makes a nice and pleasing look. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print: The print on acrylic glass, often labelled as a an art print on plexiglass, transforms your favorite original artwork into lovely wall décor and makes a great alternative option to canvas or dibond prints.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an outstanding depth effect - for a modern look and non-reflective surface. For the Aluminium Dibond print, we print your selected artwork right onto the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The bright & white sections of the work of art shimmer with a silk gloss but without the glow. This direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a truly contemporary way to showcase fine art prints, because it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the artwork.

Ryder probably either selected or approved the title of this painting, which relates it to Victor Hugo’s famous 1866 novel of the same name (Les travailleurs de la mer, in the original French). The painting could illustrate any one of several scenes in that novel, which features a fisherman character whose personality and attitudes resemble Ryder’s own. The surface has changed and suffered over the years; still, as with most of Ryder’s works, the composition conveys the artist’s vision of the mystical relationship between people and nature.
