Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing.
  • Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, often described as a UV print on plexiglass, will turn your original artwork into beautiful décor. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and granular color details will be more identifiable thanks to the subtle tonal gradation in the print. Our real glass coating protects your custom art replica against sunlight and heat for many years.
  • Aluminium dibond print (metal): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true effect of depth - for a modern look and non-reflective surface. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your ideal introduction to fine art prints manufactured on aluminum. For our Aluminium Dibond option, we print your chosen artwork onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. The colors are luminous and bright, fine details of the print appear very clear, and the print has a a matte appearance you can literally feel. The print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a sophisticated way to showcase art reproductions, since it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the artwork.

In accordance with the Greek writer Lucian (125–180 A.D.), the blind giant Orion is shown directed towards the healing rays of the sun by Cedalion, who rides on his back. Poussin has given the story a meteorological subtext by showing the earth’s vapors rising towards the moon (where Diana stands watching); they will be transformed into rain. Poussin painted this poetic picture—one of his greatest landscapes—for Michel Passart, an important Parisian patron of both Poussin and Claude Lorrain.
