Choose your desired fine art print material option

The product dropdown menu gives you the opportunity to select your prefered size and material. The following options are available for individualization:

• Printed acrylic glass: The print on acrylic glass, often named a plexiglass print, will turn your favorite original artwork into beautiful décor. Your favorite work of art will be made with state-of-the-art UV printing technology. The major upside of a plexiglass fine art print is that contrasts plus smaller image details will be exposed due to the granular gradation.
• Poster print (canvas material): The poster is a printed canvas with a slightly roughened surface finish, which reminds the original masterpiece. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2 - 6cm round about the print in order to facilitate the framing.
• Metal (aluminium dibond print): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with a true depth effect, which makes a modern look thanks to a non-reflective surface. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected work of art onto the aluminium surface. The bright & white components of the work of art shine with a silky gloss but without any glare. Colors are luminous, the fine details of the print appear clear and crisp, and there’s a matte appearance you can literally feel. The print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is an extremely stylish way to display art reproductions, as it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the artwork.
• Canvas print: A printed canvas stretched on a wood frame. A canvas generates the extra look of three-dimensionality. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.

What does the website of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about this artwork from the painter Lucas Cranach the Elder and Workshop? (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

These posthumous portraits of the Saxon electors Friedrich III, the Wise, and Johann I, the Constant belong to a series of sixty such portrait pairs, ordered by Johann I’s son and successor, Johann Friedrich I, the Magnanimous, when he became elector in 1532. He intended the portraits of his father and uncle to serve as instruments of propaganda. The accompanying laudatory poems emphasize the passage of Saxon electoral preeminence from Friedrich to Johann, thereby implying the legitimacy of Johann Friedrich’s own electorate. Completed in 1533, the extensive series demonstrates the speed and efficiency of which the Cranach workshop was capable.
