Unknown, 1500 - Death of the Virgin - fine art print

Additional information from the museum (© Copyright - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

This panel reveals a long history of changes. The initial work was painted on a single slab of wood, with strips left unpainted along the top and bottom. At an unknown time, the panel was probably cut down on the right and left sides, and the two blank strips at the top and bottom were filled in to enlarge the picture, most likely to fit its current, elaborately carved, 18th-century frame. Although these additions must have been initially more convincing, they were painted to match the yellowed and darkened original image, and thus no longer match the original paint. The flat and mismatched handling of the draperies in the lower portion also signal the intervention of a subsequent hand. The painting may have been part of an altarpiece as the predella, a long, horizontal painting along the base. The bottom of this panel exhibits signs of damage from fire and smoke, perhaps from the candles that could have been placed in front of it.

This 16th century work of art was created by the painter Unknown. The 520 years old version of the piece of art had the size: Framed: 78,8 x 130,9 cm (31 x 51 9/16 in); Unframed: 25 x 103,5 cm (9 13/16 x 40 3/4 in). Oil on wood was applied by the artist as the technique for the artpiece. Besides, the piece of art is in the the The Cleveland Museum of Art's art collection in Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America.

Besides, the alignment of the digital reproduction is in landscape format with a ratio of 3 : 1, which implies that the length is three times longer than the width.

Your product product material options

For every art print we offer different materials and sizes. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Printed acrylic glass with a glossy effect (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often denoted as a plexiglass print, makes the original into great décor and is a good alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond art prints. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen art print against light and external influences for many years.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an outstanding depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface structure. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best introduction to fine art prints made with aluminum. The bright parts of the artpiece shimmer with a silky gloss, however without any glare.
• Poster print on canvas material: Our poster is a UV printed flat canvas paper with a fine texture on the surface. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the print, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• The canvas print: The printed canvas material applied on a wood frame. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
