Historical Posters and Masterpieces – art that has stood the test of time on your wall
The “Historical” collection is an incredible visual journey through time, created for art connoisseurs, lovers of bygone eras, and anyone who values timeless elegance in their interiors. Here you will find carefully selected reproductions of works by the greatest masters of painting and graphic art, as well as inspiring original series referencing the history of science and sport. From classical expressionism, through Catalan modernism, to the subtle art of the Far East – our collection brings the atmosphere of the world’s great art galleries into your home. By choosing posters from this category, you gain not only a unique decoration, but above all a piece of history. Each work carries a unique story – from the turbulent streets of Barcelona, through the groundbreaking discoveries of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, to the birth of the modern Olympic Games. It is the perfect choice for a distinguished living room, an elegant study, or a classic bedroom, giving the space an exceptionally mature and intellectual character.
From Japanese woodcuts to masterpieces of European painting
Our historical category contains absolute gems of art history. For fans of the East, we have prepared posters from Japan, including the striking “Mount Fuji from Lake Yamanaka” (1936) by Hiroaki Takahashi (1871–1945) – an outstanding woodblock artist from the shin-hanga movement. Meanwhile, lovers of the European avant-garde will find the famous “Portrait of a Woman” (1907) painted by Austrian artist Egon Schiele, the iconic “The Scream” by Norwegian precursor of expressionism Edvard Munch, and “Colorful Architecture” by Paul Klee, whose original style was influenced by cubism, surrealism, and expressionism.
A true bestseller, beloved by our customers, is the poster depicting “Young Decadent Woman”. It was created by Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866–1932). It is worth gently correcting a myth that is sometimes repeated – Ramon Casas was not a Dutch painter, but an outstanding Catalan artist! Living during a turbulent period in the history of his native Barcelona, he became famous as a portraitist of the elite (of Barcelona, Paris, and Madrid) and a painter of dynamic crowd scenes. His posters and postcards helped define the entire Catalan art movement known as modernisme.
Inspiring quotes and sporty elegance on posters
The historical collection is not only about great painting. We are also proud to present exceptional educational and motivational designs here. In the “Scientific Quotes” series, you will find, among others, beautifully presented, wise words by Marie Skłodowska-Curie – the outstanding Polish-French physicist and chemist, and two-time Nobel Prize winner (in 1903 and 1911). Such a poster is a fantastic, motivating decoration for a home office or a student’s room.
For fans of the history of sport and the Olympic movement, we have prepared the original “Olympic Sports” series, created by the young and talented artist Magdalena Firydus. This series presents the disciplines represented at the Olympics in a beautiful, minimalist, and elegant style. Each sport – for example, the classic cycling featured on one of the posters – appears in a separate, balanced version for women and men, offering great possibilities for interior styling.
Museum-quality printing and free framing for your artworks
To ensure that masterpieces of painting retain their original color depth and the precise lines of historical posters remain perfectly sharp, we print them on three carefully selected premium papers. For classic works of art and painting reproductions (such as works by Munch, Klee, or Schiele), we highly recommend Hahnemühle 100% Cotton Art Paper (310 g/m²). Its noble texture gives the prints a truly gallery-like and museum-quality character.
We also offer fully glare-free Matte Paper (230 g/m²) and Satin Pearl Paper (255 g/m²), which perfectly enhances saturated colors. Our historical reproductions are available in five universal sizes: 30x40 cm, 40x50 cm, 50x70 cm, 61x91 cm, and XXL 70x100 cm. We know how important the right presentation of a work of art is, which is why we offer framing completely free of charge! If you purchase a matching frame in our store, we will professionally frame your poster. You will receive a print secured in very sturdy cardboard, ready to hang on the wall immediately.
