Gifts for art lovers: 9 framed masterpiece prints, from Van Gogh to Hokusai

Our print reproduces the Twelve Sunflowers on a blue background, one of the paintings of that summer, now in Munich in the collections of the Neue Pinakothek. The flowers are alive and wilting at the same time, the yellow vibrates against the blue, and on the vase is the signature Van Gogh only put on the paintings he was most pleased with: Vincent.

Van Gogh painted it in June 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he was a patient, starting from the view from the window of his room. The sky turns in great swirls, the stars pulse, a dark cypress rises from the earth to the clouds and below a small village sleeps. The original is at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and it is perhaps the best-loved painting of the whole nineteenth century.

Perfect for daydreamers, stargazers and the bedroom of someone who has just moved house.

The Japanese bridge in the garden Claude Monet built for himself at Giverny, in Normandy, suspended over a pond covered in water lilies. Monet began painting it in 1899 and made a series of canvases, now shared among some of the greatest museums in the world. There is no story to tell: there is the light changing on the water, green on green, and a sense of calm you feel as soon as you look at it.

Perfect for lovers of the Impressionists, keen gardeners and anyone looking for a relaxing picture, in a bedroom or a reading corner.

It is the central scene of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, in the Vatican, frescoed by Michelangelo around 1511. Adam lies on the earth, God arrives in flight wrapped in his cloak, and between their two index fingers there is a small empty space: the instant before life passes from one to the other. Those two hands have become one of the most recognised images in the history of art.

Perfect for lovers of Michelangelo and the Renaissance, for a doctor or a biologist, for someone who has just started a new life: a new job, a new home, a child.

Sandro Botticelli painted it in Florence around 1485, and today it is one of the treasures of the Uffizi Gallery. Venus is born from the sea and reaches the shore on a shell, pushed by the breath of the winds, while a young woman on the beach holds out a flowered cloak to her. It is the painting that gave a face to the very idea of beauty, with light lines and pale colours that seem outside time.

Perfect for her, for an anniversary or Valentine's Day, for lovers of Florence and for those who work in beauty and fashion.

Raphael frescoed it between 1509 and 1511 in the Room of the Segnatura, one of the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Museums. Under great arches, the philosophers of antiquity are gathered in one place: at the centre Plato, pointing to the sky, and Aristotle, pointing to the earth. According to tradition Raphael gave Plato the face of Leonardo da Vinci, and he is said to have portrayed himself among the figures too.

Perfect for teachers, philosophy lovers, a professional's office; and it is the right gift for a degree in art history or philosophy. It is also the most affordable print in this guide.

Painted in Rome around 1599, it is now in the National Gallery of Ancient Art at Palazzo Barberini. The young widow Judith, a heroine of the Bible, beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her city, while the old servant waits with the sack in her hands. The background is dark, the light falls on the faces and on a red drape: this is Caravaggio at his most theatrical, the painter who changed seventeenth-century art.

Perfect for lovers of Caravaggio and the Baroque, for a strong woman, for anyone who wants a picture that will not go unnoticed in a hallway or a study.

It is not a painting but a woodblock print, which Katsushika Hokusai published around 1831 in the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. A huge wave is about to crash onto three fishing boats, and in the background, tiny, is Mount Fuji. A great many impressions were printed: today copies can be found in major museums such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the British Museum in London.

Perfect for lovers of Japan, the sea and surfing, for those with a modern home and for those who have everything: even people who say they don't understand art like it.

Wassily Kandinsky, one of the fathers of abstract art, made it in 1913: twelve squares, each with its own concentric circles in different colours, like a small experiment in how colours speak to each other. The original is a watercolour on paper kept at the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich. Kandinsky was convinced that every colour had a sound and a temperature, and he explained it in his book Concerning the Spiritual in Art.

Perfect for lovers of modern art, for a designer, an architect or a musician, and for the bedroom of a youngster who loves drawing.
