Choose your art print material option

In the dropdown selection right next to the article you can pick the material and sizeaccording to your individual preferences. You can choose among the following product customization options:

  • Poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a printed canvas paper with a slight texture on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6 cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
  • Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface structure. The bright & white parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silky gloss but without the glow.
  • The canvas print: A printed canvas, which shall not be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is an image applied onto canvas fabric. Hanging a canvas print: Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for any kind of wall.
  • Printed acrylic glass with a glossy effect (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often named a print on plexiglass, will turn the artwork into wonderful décor. Our real glass coating protects your custom art replica against sunlight and external influences for many years.

Still, the pigments of the print materials and the printing can differ marginally from the presentation on the monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the condition of the surface, not all colors are printed as realistically as the digital version on this website. Considering that all our art prints are printed and processed by hand, there may also be slight differences in the motif's exact position and the size.

To create a living art, that is my aim. --Gustave Courbet

Through a dynamic composition and radical painting technique, Gustave Courbet emphasized the specific qualities of this primordial cave in his native region of the Jura Mountains in eastern France. Earthy hues and textures swirl around a tunnel-like entrance, drawing attention to the clear blue stream running through it. Two large boulders stand before the vortex, several feet from a wall hugged by delicate scaffolding. To mimic the cavern's craggy and colorful surfaces, Courbet used palette knives to apply and scrape off paint and brushes to mix drying paint in with wet.

Like many tourists and scientists of his day, Courbet was probably drawn to the grotto for its geological interest. In the mid-1860s, he frequently painted caves as a means to explore composition and technique freely, and to demonstrate his strong belief that artistic subjects should be rooted in one's lived experience. He saw the basis of Realism as "the denial of the ideal," the rejection of established classical subjects and a refined style. He chose instead, to paint only what he could see.

This more than 150 year-old painting was painted by the male artist Gustave Courbet. Furthermore, this piece of art is in the the digital collection of The J. Paul Getty Museum.
