This image is 2 dimensional… but imagine if it is really embossed…
I am really not sure how another person would be affected by this image but personally, I as a viewer, will definitely keep and treasure this embossed image because I understand and appreciate this masterpiece by Seurat. And also because embossing is expensive and not quite commonly available as compared to printing, this embossed image would be pretty unique and rare!
If Matisse were to re-interpret Seurat’s The Circus, how would he have done it?
Matisse was considered one of the greatest colourist of the 20th century. He was fond of using bright and expressive colours. His paintings during his Fauvist years are characterized by dramatically simplified areas of pure color, flat shape, and strong pattern. Towards the last few years of his life, even as he was too weak to paint, he created papercuts, carving and scissoring out coloured paper into shapes, and collaging them into sometimes vast pictures.
Maybe he would have done it as above… 🙂
With increasing commercialisation, reproductions of art works are common and these may be reproduced on many products and souvenirs by various organisations. Examples abound, such as umbrellas and mugs by museums, stamps by the state and images of art works on even T-shirts, coasters, paper plates and cups, balls and toys by enterprising companies. Below are examples of some products that have art works reproduced on them.

How does this affect the way the image is viewed?
Well, in my opinion, it depends on what product it is imprinted on, the purpose tthe image serve on product and who produces and distributes the product…
A work of art printed on a stamp would be seen as an honour, while a poorly reproduced image on a ball for children to play would seem to ‘cheapen’ the work of art.
