For every product we offer different materials & sizes. Select your preferred material and size among the subsequent alternatives:

• Canvas: The canvas print is a printed canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
• Printed poster on canvas material: The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed canvas with a fine surface finish, that resembles the original version of the artwork. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• The acrylic glass print: An acrylic glass print, which is often named as a plexiglass print, will convert your favorite original work of art into marvellous décor and forms a good alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond prints. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and painting details become exposed due to the very subtle tonal gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your selected art replica against sunlight and external influences for between 40-60 years.

During his time in Rome Constantin Hansen painted oil studies in the open air to provide variety in between his more complex figure compositions. Outdoors, he was free of any constraints concerning his contemporaries’ expectations as regards motif, method of painting, and composition.

An unconventional angle One of his freest and most original studies is this picture of the Titus Arch near the Forum Romanum. He depicted it from a rather unconventional angle. The arch is not seen from the front, but from the side, thereby dramatically shortening the façade. The picture does not give a representative view of the building, meaning that it was not a travel or tourist picture intended for audiences back in Copenhagen. It is a study done exclusively for the artist’s own sake.

Influenced by Eckersberg The picture shows clear signs of the influence of the Roman architectural studies done by C. W. Eckersberg (1783-1853), Constantin Hansen’s teacher. Here, however, Hansen went further than Eckersberg ever did. He completely disengaged the architectural form from the function and significance traditionally associated with a building.

A break with the norms The colour scheme also marks a break with the norms of the day. The artist shows a remarkable sense of the delicate, changing hues of the sunlight and in the shadows. With this picture, Hansen points towards the treatment of colour employed by the Impressionists 30 years later.
