Original information about the artwork by the museum's website (© Copyright - by Rijksmuseum - Rijksmuseum)

This ‘memorial tablet’ was painted in commemoration of the four canons depicted on it. The partially decayed corpse in the open tomb reminds the viewer of his own mortality and asks for his prayers: ‘Whoever passes by, look and weep. What you are, I once was, what I am, you will become, I beseech you to pray for me’.

The painting depicts a closed courtyard with four praying Augustinian canons, supported by the aforementioned saints. The cover of the grave reads Requiescant in pace. This illustrates the earthly transcendence. Mary and her cousin Elisabeth are portrayed in the centre of the panel, the so-called Mary-Visitation as a symbol of hope. The work presumably dates back to the period between 1490 and 1500. It is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Remmett van Luttervelt (1952) assumed the painting was commissioned by the Augustinian priory of the monastery Sancta Maria in Monte Sion, of which Augustine and Jerome where the patron saints. Jeremy Bangs (1979) set forth the possibility that the four depicted canons were in fact the four regulars who subsequently served as rectors of the female monastery Mariënpoel, close to Leiden.

  • The poster print on canvas material: Our poster is a printed flat canvas with a nice surface finish, that resembles the actual masterpiece. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
  • The canvas print: A canvas print, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is an image printed from a UV direct printing machine. How do I hang a canvas print on the wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
  • Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes named as a print on plexiglass, makes your favorite original artwork into beautiful décor. Your artwork is manufactured with the help of modern UV print machines. This has the effect of intense, sharp colors. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and granular details become identifiable thanks to the fine gradation. Our real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against light and external influences for many decades.
