Available product materials

We offer a range of different materials and sizes for every product. The following options are available for individualization:

  • Canvas print: A printed canvas applied on a wooden stretcher frame. The canvas generates a lively, appealing effect. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
  • Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an impressive depth effect. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your chosen artwork right on the aluminium white-primed surface. The bright components of the original artpiece shine with a silk gloss but without glow. This direct print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly stylish way to display art reproductions, as it draws focus on the image.
  • Poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed flat cotton canvas with a nice texture on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
  • Acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, which is often denoted as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms an original into brilliant wall decoration. Additionally, it is a distinct alternative option to dibond and canvas fine art prints.

This composition symbolizes the Sorbonne, one of Paris’s historic universities. According to Puvis, the woman enthroned at center personifies the school. Figures surrounding her represent the institution’s ideals and major areas of study, including philosophy, history, and the sciences. Puvis made this sketch during his final year of work on a mural that he completed for the grand lecture hall of the new Sorbonne building in 1889. The grid lines used to transfer the present composition are visible through the paint.
