The GetinArt collections

Nothing here is tied to a single product. The same subject can become made to measure wallpaper covering a whole wall, a canvas print stretched over a frame, or a fine art print on paper, aluminium or acrylic glass. What changes is not the image but the distance you look at it from, and that is what decides the resolution we need and the material that suits it.

A wall is read from two metres away and forgives a lot; a print hung above a desk is read from thirty centimetres and forgives nothing, which is why the fine art line is printed at a higher resolution on materials chosen to last. If you are deciding between the three, the guide to materials compares them by room and by use, and the process page explains what happens between your order and the delivery.

The art collection comes from museums that have released their digital reproductions into the public domain or under a CC0 licence: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington and Statens Museum for Kunst. Each file is prepared one by one before it enters the catalogue: the scan is cleaned, the colour balanced, and the available pixels are checked against the largest size we will offer, so that a work is never sold at a size its source file cannot carry.

Seamless patterns go through a technical check that verifies the repeat has no visible joins at any wall size, which is the failure you only discover once it is on the wall. The room images used in previews are generated with AI and labelled as such, as European rules require: the reproductions of the works themselves are not. Everything here can be printed on any material in the guide to materials, at any size. If the subject you want is not here, you can bring your own: the file guidelines say what it needs.
