Master of the Dinteville Allegory, 1537 - Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh: An Allegory of the Dinteville Family - fine art print

Supplemental information by the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

In this large, allegorical family portrait, the Dinteville brothers act out a scene from Exodus 7:9. Pleading with Pharaoh to free the Israelites, Aaron (François II de Dinteville) transforms his rod into a serpent, proving that God is with him. Jean de Dinteville is depicted as Moses, while Gaucher and Guillaume stand behind them. The brothers were important members of the court of Francis I, who is represented as Pharaoh. Painted during a critical moment in their relationship with the French king, this extraordinary portrait hung in the family château of Polisy with an even more exceptional depiction of Jean de Dinteville: Holbein’s Ambassadors (National Gallery, London).

The product dropdown menu provides you with the opportunity to select your individual size and material. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Canvas: A UV printed canvas applied on a wooden stretcher frame. A canvas produces a particular look of three-dimensionality. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy to hang your Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
• The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes referred to as a print on plexiglass, will change the original into amazing wall decoration. The work of art is being made with state-of-the-art UV direct print machines. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and smaller color details become exposed because of the very subtle tonal gradation in the print. Our plexiglass protects your chosen art print against light and heat for many years to come.
• Metal (aluminium dibond print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an outstanding depth effect. The bright parts of the original artpiece shine with a silky gloss but without the glow.
• The poster print (canvas material): The poster print is a UV printed canvas with a fine surface texture, that reminds the actual version of the work of art. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6 cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
