Carl Spitzweg painted Der Lieblingsplatz around 1849, an oil on canvas now in the collection of the Lower Saxony State Gallery in Hanover. Trained as a pharmacist and self-taught as a painter, he became the chronicler of the Biedermeier years, when censorship pushed Germany's middle class out of public life and into gardens, studies and quiet corners. German art historians have a word for the scenes he painted: Winkelglück, happiness found in a small corner. Here a solitary figure has found his. Restored from the original oil for print.

Printing Guide

How to print your art

Your download has every file you need to print at home, at a print shop or online. Download it on a computer over Wi-Fi. The files are large because they're made for big prints.

1. Pick the file that fits your frame
Each file is named after the largest size it prints, and it also prints any smaller frame of the same shape. The 24x30in file prints 8x10 and 16x20. The 24x36in file prints 12x18 and 20x30. The A1 file prints every A size, from A5 to A1. Odd-sized frame? Use the Original.

2. Choose your paper
Matte or fine art paper suits old paintings best: no glare, softer colour. At home, use heavy card stock or matte photo paper.

3. Before you pay
- Check the preview. Some services crop or rotate your image on upload.
- Switch off auto-enhance. The colours are already restored.
- Printing at home? Set it to 100% or "actual size", not "fit to page".

4. Where to print
Anywhere: your local print shop. Bring the file on a USB stick or email it over. Usually the cheapest and fastest.
