The colors are bright and luminous in the highest definition, details of the print are very clear, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel.
• The poster print on canvas material: The Artprinta poster print is a printed flat canvas paper with a slightly rough surface finish, that resembles the original version of the artwork. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing.
• Canvas print: The UV printed canvas material mounted on a wooden frame. How do I hang a canvas on the wall? The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
• Print on acrylic glass: The acrylic glass print, often referenced as a plexiglass print, changes your favorite original work of art into brilliant décor. What is more, it offers a good alternative option to canvas or aluminium dibond art prints. The artwork is being custom-made with the help of modern UV printing technology. The great advantage of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and also small color details will be exposed with the help of the very subtle gradation in the picture.

These panels were part of a spectacular multi-storied polyptych commissioned by Vincenzo Sauli, a wealthy Italian banker and diplomat with connections to Bruges, for the high altar of the Benedictine abbey church of San Gerolamo della Cervara, near Genoa. Taking the placement of the Annunciation within the altarpiece into account, David has altered the perspective and the scale of the figures, since both panels were meant to be viewed from below. In style, the ensemble reveals a synthesis of Northern and Italian artistic modes that perhaps reflect the patron’s ties to both regions.
