The artwork will be printed with state-of-the-art UV printing technology. This creates vibrant and stunning print colors. The major upside of an acrylic glass fine art print is that sharp contrasts and artwork details will be exposed because of the granular tonal gradation.
• The canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden frame. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive depth effect - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface. This direct UV print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely contemporary way to display art, because it puts the viewer’s focus on the replica of the artwork.

Florentine by birth, Perino was trained in Raphael’s workshop in Rome, where he soon became one of the most inventive artists of his generation. This is a rare devotional painting by him. It includes traditional symbols such as the goldfinch (symbolic of the Resurrection), but also more unusual details, especially a young Saint John who is crowned with grape leaves and wears a leopard skin, usually associated with the god Bacchus—a mingling of pagan and Christian iconography. The exquisite depiction of the infant Christ shows the care with which Perino approached this panel.
