The subject of this remarkable painting remains elusive. The woman holding dividers over an open book with diagrams has been identified as Circe or Melissa, but is probably a more generic sorceress surrounded by symbols of her dark magic: skulls, a bat, and a chimera (a fantastical winged creature). The animal in the left foreground is a coati, a member of the raccoon family native to South America. Domenico was the younger brother of Bartolomeo Guidobono (1654–1709). The work of the two brothers is directly related and often difficult to distinguish.

- Poster print (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed cotton canvas paper with a fine finish on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the artwork to facilitate the framing.
- The acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, which is sometimes referred to as a plexiglass print, changes the original artwork into beautiful décor. With a glossy acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and granular color details become more identifiable because of the very fine tonal gradation. Our plexiglass protects your custom art replica against sunlight and external influences for many decades.

Your canvas of your favorite artwork will allow you to transform your own fine art print into a large size artwork. A canvas print has the great advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts.
