Recommendation for Paper Collective as a European art print store
Paper Collective and Poster Club are very much focused around (lesser known) artists' work. Fine Little Day has a smaller selection but some standout nature ones. All Scandinavian iirc. There's also Image Republic out of Paris that's a bit more familiar images, but it's all artist based as well.
