Some of the world’s most advanced printing technology has helped bring priceless art to the streets. Life-size reproductions of masterpieces from the likes of Constable and Da Vinci have been unveiled across central London.

HP says when combined with a waterproof laminate, the vinyl will stop colours fading for three years.
