Materials you can choose from

In the product dropdown lists you can choose your favorite material and size. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• Canvas: The canvas print, which shall not be mistaken with a real canvas painting, is a digital copy applied onto cotton canvas. Your canvas print of this work of art will let you turn your art print into a large size collection piece. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang your Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, often described as a UV print on plexiglass, will change the original into marvellous wall décor. What is more, it forms a good alternative option to aluminium or canvas fine art prints. Your own version of the artwork is being custom-made with the help of state-of-the-art UV printing technology. The great upside of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and granular image details become visible thanks to the precise tonal gradation.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an outstanding effect of depth. Its non-reflective surface make a contemporary impression. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected work of art onto the surface of the aluminum material.
• Poster (canvas material): A poster print is a printed canvas with a slightly rough finish on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the print, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

Legal note: We try the best we can in order to describe our products with as many details as it is possible and to exhibit them visually in our shop. Although, some colors of the print materials and the printing may diverge to a certain extent from the image on the device's screen. Depending on your settings of your screen and the nature of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed one hundret percent realistically. Because all fine art prints are processed and printed manually, there may as well be minor differences in the motif's exact position and the size.

Venus, the goddess of love, urged her mortal lover Adonis to hunt only the easiest game. Yet he insisted on pursuing boar, which eventually gored him to death. In this scene, Venus discovers the young man robbed of his youth, yet the painting eternally preserves him in a state of perfection. This paradox corresponds to wordplay in Italian poetry from the 1600s, with which many artists sought visual parallels in their work. This painting derives from a 1623 poem by Giovanni Battista Marino. The painter remains unknown, although the sophisticated literary reference, dramatic use of light, and vivid use of color demonstrate the artist’s awareness of trends converging in Naples in the mid 1600s.
