Williams is one of the few British painters by whom Thorvaldsen acquired any works. He was born in Wales and trained in the Royal Academy in London. He lived in Rome from 1827. Thorvaldsen lived permanently in Rome until 1838, when he returned to Denmark. But in 1841/42 he made a brief return to Rome, on which occasion he commissioned this painting of the two shepherd children.

• Canvas print: A printed canvas applied on a wooden stretcher frame. A canvas produces a special impression of three-dimensionality. Also, a canvas print makes a cosy and enjoyable effect. Your printed canvas of your favorite masterpiece will provide you with the chance of turning your into a large work of art like you would see in a gallery. Canvas Prints have the great advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is often described as a print on plexiglass, will transform the artwork into wonderful wall decoration. Beyond that, the acrylic fine art print makes a great alternative to canvas or dibond fine art prints. The work of art is being custom-made thanks to state-of-the-art UV print machines. This creates the effect of and vivid colors.
• Aluminium dibond (metal print): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an outstanding effect of depth - for a modern look and non-reflective surface structure. For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected artwork onto the aluminium composite surface. The direct UV print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a truly contemporary way to display fine art reproductions, because it puts the viewer’s focus on the image.
• Poster on canvas material: The poster print is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a slightly rough texture on the surface, that reminds the original work of art. The poster print is best appropriate for framing the fine art print with a custom frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
