Digital reproductions
We provide digital reproductions of artworks from the collections of the Slovak National Gallery for specific purposes. Conditions for providing a digital reproduction depend on the selected artwork and purpose of use.
In accordance with copyright laws, the Slovak National Gallery does not provide digital reproductions of protected artworks for common private purposes (decoration, gifts etc.).
We usually provide reproductions without a fee for research purposes (papers, scientific publications) and educational purposes (educational tools, lectures). The price for commercial purposes (products, propagation materials, commercial publications) is decided individually according to the circumstances.
When providing reproductions of copyright protected artworks, the Slovak National Gallery acts with regard to the artwork license, the will of the artist or heirs and a historical context of the copyright law.
The copyright of an artwork can sometimes be managed by other parties, such as LITA – the civil association of authors, or relatives of the artist. The reproduction request then has to be consulted accordingly. In the case that your order contains such artworks, we will inform you.
The required time to process an order depends on the copyright situation and can be up to several weeks. We thus recommend ordering digital reproductions sufficiently in advance.
Examples of digital reproduction use
Good to know
- Before receiving a digital reproduction, the applicant must sign an agreement, which is provided by the Slovak National Gallery and specifies the purpose of use. The signed agreement can be sent by post or scanned via e-mail. The use of digital reproduction for a purpose other than the one stated in the contract may result in breaking of copyright laws.
- We provide digital reproductions from the collections of other galleries only after receiving a confirmation from the respective institution. You can see the gallery that owns the artwork in the „Gallery“ field on the artwork page.
- If you want to order both printed and digital reproductions, please make a separate order for each type.

Good to know
- We do not print reproductions in their "true" size to avoid mistaking the reproduction for its original artwork. We keep the original format ratio, colors, and signature. The maximum size of the reproduction is twice the size of the original artwork.
- The type of paper, ink and the color of passe-partout are chosen by specialists at the Slovak National Gallery, according to the technique and material of the artwork.
- Printed reproductions can only be used for private purposes. If you would like to use prints for other purposes, such as exhibition or a commercial use (e.g. decoration of a restaurant), the order will be processed like a digital reproduction (see below). The use of printed reproduction for a commercial purpose without a previous consultation with the Slovak National Gallery may result in breaking of copyright laws.
- SNG cannot process all orders of printed reproductions for commercial purposes. When processing a particular order, we are, among other things, looking at the way the cultural heritage is treated, or how it responds to the local context or region.
- The prices are set to cover our costs related to the production of the prints (ink, paper, etc.) .
- You will receive an automatic e-mail with detailed information after placing an order.
- If you want to order both printed and digital reproductions, please make a separate order for each type.
