Wat zou uw favoriete productmateriaaloptie zijn?

Voor elk product bieden we verschillende maten en materialen aan. De volgende opties zijn beschikbaar voor individualisering:

• Canvasafdruk: The canvas print is a printed canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. A canvas creates a lovely and appealing atmosphere. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for any kind of wall.
• De posterprint (canvasmateriaal): The poster is a printed sheet of flat canvas paper with a granular surface structure, which reminds the original masterpiece. The poster print is ideally qualified for placing the fine art print in a personal frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Metaal (aluminium dibond print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with an outstanding depth effect - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected artwork right on the aluminium white-primed surface.
• Glanzend acrylglas print: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes described as a UV print on plexiglass, will convert your favorite original into brilliant décor. Besides, the acrylic art print is a viable alternative to aluminium or canvas prints. Your own version of the work of art is being custom-made with state-of-the-art UV print machines. The great upside of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts plus small artwork details become identifiable with the help of the fine tonal gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against light and heat for many years.

Portrait of Cecilia Tower was one of Shannon’s early mature works, painted and exhibited the year immediately following his first major critical success. He became best known for his portraits of women, and the museum’s painting is characteristic of the type of decorative figure painting that brought him fame. Cecilia Tower is presented in neutral surroundings, allowing her dignified attitude, handsome attire, and the large size of the canvas to convey her social importance. Following Whistler in viewing a portrait first as a work of art and typical of progressive artists allied with the Aesthetic movement, Shannon held that portraiture was more than merely reproducing a physical likeness of the sitter. In his portraits of women the refined beauty of all the formal elements-color, line, and composition-suggest elegance and wealth. Cecilia Tower wears a fashionable silk evening gown and a boa. The painting is an orchestration of gray tints. Shannon preferred a palette of softly modulated tones, and the lavenders and pearl grays of this canvas, along with pinks, were among his favorite hues. Delicacy of color contributes to the elegance of his portraits. Whistler’s example inspired a host of later artists to employ soft, tonally limited palettes and place their sitters in spare environments and shallow spaces. Another characteristic of Aesthetic movement portraits found in Cecilia Tower is that of showing the sitter full-length and in life-size. The sitter was a member of the Tower family, landed gentry from Weald Hall in Essex. Cecilia Tower may have been Mrs. Christopher Tower. A portrait by Shannon of a child, Hugh Christopher Tower (unlocated), the son of Christopher Tower, was exhibited in the winter 1890-91 exhibition at the London Institute of Painters in Oil-Colours only a few years after Portrait of Cecilia Tower was shown in London. According to the art historian Barbara Dayer Gallati Shannon was often commissioned to paint different members of the same family.
