In the product dropdown lists you can pick your favorite material and size. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• The poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed cotton canvas with a slight surface structure, that resembles the actual version of the artwork. It is appropriate for putting the art copy using a personal frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2-6 cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes named as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms your chosen original artwork into great décor. Moreover, it forms a distinct alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints. The artwork will be custom-made with state-of-the-art UV print machines. This makes deep, intense print colors. Our acrylic glass protects your custom art print against light and external influences for up to 60 years.
• The canvas print: A UV printed canvas material applied on a wood stretcher frame. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for all types of walls.

Important information: We try all that we can to describe the products as closely as possible and to exhibit them visually. Still, the pigments of the printed materials, as well as the imprint can diverge marginally from the presentation on the device's monitor. Depending on your settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, colors might not be printed 100% realistically. In view of the fact that all art reproductions are processed and printed manually, there may also be slight deviations in the motif's size and exact position.

Original artwork description from the museum (© Copyright - The J. Paul Getty Museum - The J. Paul Getty Museum)

Following the model that Raphael had established for papal portraits, Sebastiano del Piombo painted Pope Clement VII (Giulio de'Medici) in three-quarter length and seated in an armchair which is placed diagonally to the picture plane.

In a letter dated July 22, 1531, Sebastiano told Michelangelo that Pope Clement had visited his studio to see a new portrait of himself painted on canvas. Very pleased, the pope ordered another version for his collection, this one to be painted on stone. Sebastiano had begun painting on stone around 1530 and had come to favor it for some important commissions because stone lasted longer than canvas or wood. Pope Clement apparently shared Sebastiano's desire to immortalize his portrait by using this durable support.

This piece of art was created by the painter Sebastiano del Piombo. Nowadays, this piece of art belongs to the The J. Paul Getty Museum's collection, which is part of the J.
