So, Can I Get Famous Paintings on Canvas?
Yes, you absolutely can.
And you don’t even need to go to a specialist art reproduction dealer to find the print you’re looking for. Because the rise of custom printing has changed the industry – and now all you need to do is find a digital image of the artwork you want, upload it to an online custom print provider, and they’ll reproduce it on canvas and deliver it direct to your home.
However, there is – as you might have guessed – a little catch here.
Images of famous paintings are easy to find online, but not all of them are free to be used by the public. Some pictures are protected by copyright law, meaning that reproducing and distributing them is prohibited.
Luckily, many iconic works of art can be reproduced without any special permission (and when we say many, we mean it).
These images are in what’s called the public domain. What's that, you might ask?
The Public Domain – What It Is & How It Works
The public domain includes any creative works which are not covered by intellectual property rights (i.e. copyright). In other words: art, literature, and music which members of the public can use or reference however they wish.
This includes thousands of famous paintings and drawings by revered figures from art history.
Fancy a Gauguin in your living room? There are high-definition digital versions of his work available online that you can use for free. Nearly all of van Gogh's iconic output, too, is available in the public domain – and the same goes for works by titans like Degas, Klimt, Monet, Rembrandt, and many more.
So if you want to display canvas painting prints in your home, you’re sure to find something you love – and which suits your interior decor – that’s in the public domain. All you need to do is choose a print provider that will reproduce your favourite masterpiece in the quality it deserves...
