For your Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print the favorite work of art onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum composite.

The colors are luminous and vivid, the fine details of the print are crisp and clear, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel. The UV print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly modern way to display art reproductions, as it draws focus on the artwork.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a plexiglass print, will change an artwork into lovely décor and makes a distinct alternative to dibond or canvas art prints. The artwork will be made with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts as well as smaller artwork details become exposed thanks to the delicate tonal gradation. Our real glass coating protects your custom fine art print against light and heat for decades.

Additional description from the museum's website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This self-portrait, which La Farge painted in October 1859 at his family's estate in Glen Cove, Long Island, reflects his use of a photograph as a pictorial source; his appreciation of the unmodulated shapes and flattened space of Japanese prints; his reliance on broad tonal masses in the manner of his teachers, Thomas Couture and William Morris Hunt; and his experiments in plein-air landscape painting. The artist portrays himself as a landscapist ready to embark on a painting expedition.
