Materials our customers can pick from
In the product dropdown selection you can choose your favorite size and material. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:
- Printed poster (canvas material): A poster is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a slight surface structure, which reminds the actual masterpiece. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6 cm round about the print to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
- Canvas print: The canvas print, not to be confused with a canvas painting, is a digital image printed directly on canvas material. A canvas print of your favorite work of art will allow you to transform your art print into a large artpiece like you would see in a gallery. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
- Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on alu dibond with a true depth effect. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your favorite artwork right onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum material.
- Print on acrylic glass: The print on acrylic glass, often referred to as a print on plexiglass, makes an artwork into magnificient home décor. Additionally, the acrylic print offers a distinct alternative option to dibond and canvas fine art prints.

The Old Testament tells the story of the people of Babel who wanted to build a tower that would reach to heaven. God punished them for their pride: he confused their common language so they could no longer understand one another. This is one of the earliest painted depictions of this story; it also affords a fairly reliable glimpse of late medieval building practices.
