Choose your fine art print material option

For every fine art print we offer different materials and sizes. In order match your personal requirements perfectly, you can choose among the following product customization options:

• Canvas: The printed canvas, which shall not be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed from a UV direct printing machine. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they 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 any kind of wall in your house.
• The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often denoted as a UV print on plexiglass, changes your favorite artwork into wonderful décor and forms a good alternative option to dibond and canvas fine art replicas. The major advantage of an acrylic glass art print is that sharp contrasts as well as granular color details will be identifiable due to the fine tonal gradation.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true depth effect - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface structure. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the artwork on the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. The bright & white components of the work of art shine with a silky gloss but without the glare. The colors are bright and luminous in the highest definition, the fine details of the print appear clear and crisp.
• Poster on canvas material: The poster is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a slightly rough structure on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

General information from Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) (© Copyright - by Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) - Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark))

Baumann was a rare artist in her own day. Partly because she was a woman, but also because of her unusual openness towards the exotic and the unknown. This painting is an excellent example of Baumann’s keen sense for the erotic and the sensuous.

This painting of an Egyptian farm worker is among the most striking of Jerichau Baumann’s oriental scenes. The nudity beneath the sheer silk fabric, the exotic jewellery, the reddening evening sky, and the dark colours all infuse it with a sensuous quality that must have had a strong impact in the 1870s, a time when the body was still viewed with suspicion.

Indeed, Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann occupies a unique position within Danish post-1850 art in more ways than one. Hailing from a Polish-German background, she had a wider horizon than most Danish artists, who would primarily strive to identify and cultivate the uniquely Danish. She had an openness to all things foreign and exotic that was rarely seen in Denmark at the time; her only real match in that regard would be Hans Christian Andersen. The wanderlust of an artist took her to Turkey, Greece, and Egypt (1869-70 and 1874-75), furnishing her with a rich fount of oriental motifs.

The museum also provides interactive and video material for this artwork.
