Carlo Crivelli, 1472 - Saint Nicholas of Bari - fine art print

Supplemental information by The Cleveland Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Cleveland Museum of Art - www.clevelandart.org)

Saint Nicolas of Bari, patron saint of children, sailors, and travelers, and the prototype of Father Christmas, was bishop of Myra (Lycia) in Asia Minor during the AD 300s. His remains were said to have been taken to Bari in Italy during the 11th century. The saint is shown vested as bishop in an elaborately embroidered cope, fastened with a morse, and holding a crosier. By the mid-1400s, most Florentine artists had stopped using gold backgrounds in their pictures, preferring instead naturalistic backgrounds of landscapes and blue skies. However, elsewhere in Italy gold-ground painting remained popular, as in this painting by Crivelli, a a painter of conservative Late Gothic decorative sensibility, who spent his early years in the Veneto where he absorbed influences from the Vivarini, Squarcione, and Mantegna. By 1458 he left the Veneto and was never to return; he spent most of the remainder of his career in the March of Ancona, where he developed a distinctive personal style that makes a contrast to his Venetian contemporary Giovanni Bellini.

Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.

Your canvas of your favorite artpiece will give you the opportunity to transform your into a large artwork like you would see in a gallery. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang up the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.

• Printed acrylic glass with a glossy effect (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes described as a print on plexiglass, changes the original artwork into stunning décor. Your artwork is custom-made with modern UV print machines. This makes sharp and rich colors. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your selected art replica against sunlight and heat for decades.

Important note: We do the best we can in order to depict the products in as much detail as possible and to display them visually in our shop. At the same time, the tone of the print materials, as well as the printing may diverge marginally from the presentation on the screen. Depending on your settings of your screen and the condition of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed as exactly as the digital version. In view of the fact that all the fine art prints are printed and processed manually, there may as well be minor deviations in the motif's exact position and the size.
