Pick a item material variant

For every product we offer a range of different materials and sizes. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

• Aluminium dibond (metal print): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with a true depth effect. For the Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print the chosen artpiece on the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. The white & bright components of the work of art shimmer with a silky gloss but without any glare.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes denoted as a plexiglass print, changes your chosen original into home décor. In addition to that, it forms a good alternative to aluminium and canvas fine art replicas. The great upside of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and minor artwork details will be more visible thanks to the fine gradation.
• Canvas: The canvas print, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is a digital copy printed on an industrial printing machine. In addition to that, a canvas makes a cosy, positive effect. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for all kinds of walls.
• The poster print on canvas material: The Artprinta poster is a printed canvas paper with a slightly roughened surface texture. It is appropriate for placing your art print using a custom-made frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

Gifford was the only major Hudson River School painter to have actually grown up in the Catskills region of New York made famous by Thomas Cole, the school’s founding figure. Rather than focusing on a central mountain or waterfall, as had most artists in earlier depictions of the landscape, Gifford chose to feature light and atmosphere as viewed from Kauterskill (Kaaterskill) Clove in the eastern Catskill Mountains. The result is a shift from the sublime to the meditative. A hunter and his dog climb the rocks at the left, merging with the terrain as they make their way to the platform overlooking the ravine, which is burnished by an Indian summer haze. From 1845 until his death in 1880, Gifford chose Kauterskill Clove in the Catskill Mountains as one of his favorite subjects. This painting, dated 1862, was called "Kauterskill Falls" in the catalogue of the 1876 New York Centennial Loan Exhibition of Paintings, as well as in the 1881 official catalogue of Gifford's work. The title has since been changed to "Kauterskill Clove," for the view is from the east, looking west to Haine's Falls at the head of the clove.
