• Canvas: The canvas print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden frame. It creates the extra impression of three dimensionality. Hanging a canvas print: The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the help of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.

Saint Matthew is shown writing his gospel, inspired by the angel who is his traditional symbol. Behind are two further scenes from the saint’s life: on the right he receives hospitality at the court of the Queen of Ethiopia, while the event on the left is less clear. The various sources of light in the painting suggest that this was one of the works that Savoldo painted around 1534 for the house of the Mint Master in Milan, described by the biographer Vasari as "nocturnes, with fires."
