Select your item material variant

In the product dropdown lists you can pick the size and material of your choice. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:

  • Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes referenced as a plexiglass print, changes an original into marvellous wall décor and forms a good alternative to canvas or dibond fine art prints. The artwork is printed thanks to the help of modern UV print technology. The great advantage of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts and small painting details become more recognizeable thanks to the delicate gradation of the print. The acrylic glass protects your selected art replica against light and heat for several decades.
  • Printed poster (canvas material): A poster print is a printed canvas with a granular texture on the surface, which reminds the original version of the masterpiece. A printed poster is suited for putting the art replica with the help of a custom-made frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin 2-6 cm around the painting in order to facilitate the framing.
  • The canvas print: A canvas print, not to be mistaken with a real artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed from an industrial printer. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.
  • Aluminium dibond: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive depth. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your best start to fine art prints with aluminum. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite artwork right on the aluminium composite surface. The bright and white parts of the original work of art shine with a silk gloss but without any glare. Colors are luminous and vivid, fine details of the print are clear and crisp, and you can perceive a matte appearance of the fine art print.

What does the original description of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about the work of art made by Benjamin West? (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This painting illustrates the plight of Ishmael after he and his mother have been turned out of Abraham’s household (Genesis 21). West exhibited the picture at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1776. In 1803 he changed both the figures and the background, repainted the angel, added draperies, and submitted the painting for a second exhibition. The Royal Academy ruled that no artist could show a work twice. West, who was the academy’s president from 1792 to 1820, was outraged. The controversy continued until 1806, when West was finally allowed to exhibit the picture.
