2nd Anniversary Famous Artist Prints Collection blog image

It’s Our 2nd Anniv! New in the Shop: Art Prints of Famous Paintings

It’s our second anniversary at Hive Artes! And we’re celebrating with a new collection of wall art: Famous Artist Prints →.

First, we’d love to tell you why.

Adding an instantly recognizable art piece, such as a Van Gogh painting, improves the perceivable value of a home. But famous paintings cost a fortune to acquire. The only way you can buy one at an affordable price is by purchasing a reproduction of the piece.

With the anniversary celebration, we’ve added fine art offerings as a tribute to the masters of art.

Feast your eyes on the works of Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edourard Manet, Georges Seurat, Henry de Toulouse-Lautrec, John Singer Sargent, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Rembrandt, Théodore Rousseau, and many others.

The art print collection starts with a lineup of 120 artworks, including art from the baroque, impressionist, post-impressionist, expressionist, and modern periods.

Since 2024, we’ve produced hundreds of artwork that has filled homes across the United States.

At the core, we are a marketplace for single print edition artwork. Or as we'd say, one-of-a-kind. That is, when an order proceeds to checkout, it will be taken out of the inventory forever.

Now, why would you buy art print reproductions of famous paintings? What does an art print reproduction even mean?

An art print reproduction of a famous painting is one of the best ways to get the art without the luxury price tag.

They are not original copies, but are instead, digitally produced prints meant to be affordable and decorative.

But there are way too many art print versions — which one is the best? It’s true that there are many online shops where you can order an art print of, say Cypresses by Vincent Van Gogh.

Are they all the same? Simplest answer, is no.

Let’s get into it in detail.

A print surface is where the art will be digitally printed on.

Famous art print marketplaces like Hive Artes usually provide options such as poster, canvas, wood, acrylic, and brushed aluminum. 

We do recommend, however, to choose a print surface that will mimic the look and feel of that original piece.

These are the most common types when you’re looking to get famous art prints. It includes famous art titles and their recommended print surfaces:

Poster prints

A poster is a good option for a print surface if the original artwork is watercolor painting on paper. One such famous artwork is Young Girl in a Blue Dress by Auguste Renoir, which was created using watercolor with gouache highlights on thick cream wove paper.

Canvas prints

A canvas print is probably the most popular and recommended art print surface for famous artwork. Many famous paintings were made on canvas, including The Bay of Naples by Auguste Renoir, Boating by Edouard Manet, and Christ Asleep during the Tempest by Eugène Delacroix.

Wood prints

Choose a wood print surface if the original famous artwork was painted on wood. A few examples of famous art produced as oil on wood are The Dancing Class by Edgar Degas and A Man Leaning on a Parapet by Georges Seurat.

Of course, it still boils down to your taste and personal preference. Ultimately, we recommend choosing canvas for most famous art titles to mimic the look and feel of the original canvas painting work.

The best kind of art prints are “museum-quality” prints

Museum-quality refers to the grade or level of quality of the finished product. Hive Artes produces 100% museum-quality art prints that are specifically recommended for fine art printing.

What makes Hive Artes Museum-Quality Prints the best kind?

  • Deep and rich colors prints

We use pigment-based inks, the most popular choice for fine art print reproduction. It can achieve a very good level of color vibrancy with a wide range of colors. It lasts much longer (about 100 years) vs dye prints that fade after a few years.

  • Archival-grade and acid-free surfaces

We use gallery quality paper that can resist fading or color deterioration for a long time. It’s also much less prone to damage from acid in the air, which eats away the paper fibers. It’s a second layer of quality as it protects the ink colors.

  • Very high resolution that capture fine details

When it comes to fine art, quality of print is highly important. You can be sure that the art print you order is the best possible reproduction of a famous painting you love.
