For every fine art print we offer a range of different materials & sizes. You can choose your your favorite size and material among the following options:

• Canvas: The canvas print, which should not be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital replica applied on a cotton canvas material. Besides, canvas print creates a cosy, enjoyable impression. Hanging a canvas print: The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.
• The poster print (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed canvas with a fine structure on the surface. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print: The print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes denoted as a plexiglass print, will change the original work of art into home décor and is a viable alternative option to canvas or aluminium dibond prints. The work of art will be custom-made with the help of state-of-the-art UV printing machines. It creates intense, deep color tones. The great advantage of an acrylic glass art print is that sharp contrasts as well as image details will be more visible with the help of the delicate gradation.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an impressive depth effect - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your excellent start to the sophisticated world of fine art reproductions produced with aluminum. The direct print on Aluminum Dibond 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 attention on the whole artwork.

Original artwork description by the museum (© Copyright - by Art Institute Chicago - Art Institute Chicago)

William Sidney Mount specialized in scenes of everyday life, known as genre paintings. He was one of the earliest American artists to do so, and his compositions, including Bar-room Scene, were rich in narrative and humor and engaged with the complex cultural, political, and racial circumstances that defined antebellum society. Here Mount portrayed a boisterous group of patrons in a country tavern. The seated men encourage the drunken dance of the central figure, whose tattered clothes and inebriated state suggest a less fortunate position. Standing in the back corner is an African American figure, who, as a free black man in 1830s New York, was able to frequent the public tavern, but, as Mount makes clear visually, did not participate fully or equally in this community.
