Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the artwork, which facilitates the framing.

Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a print on plexiglass, will transform your original artwork into great home decoration and forms a good alternative option to aluminium or canvas fine art replicas.

Ingres represented Henry IV playing with his children at the time of the arrival of the Spanish ambassador, on the left. The Queen Marie de Medici throne in the center of the table, Henry is down, the children aggripant him. At bottom right, a servant girl looks on. Despite the familiarity of the episode, the painter has suggested the dignity of the rank of the characters: the two older children wear a hat to the famous white plume, the other the sword sign of nobility. The presence of the Spanish ambassador, bringing the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, is an allusion to the function of the count of Blancas, sponsor of this painting. On the back wall, the reproduction of the "Madonna of the Chair" is a tribute to the Italian master admired by Ingres, Raphael.

This picture was painted in Rome for the Count de Blacas, ambassador of Louis XVIII and influential figure in the Restoration, along with "François 1er received the last sighs Leonardo da Vinci" (PDUT01165). This subject, representative of the current "Troubadour" is treated the same year by Pierre Révoil and Bonington. Having interrupted his studies very young, Ingres relied more on his exceptional visual memory of his literary knowledge. So many famous paintings have served as models to represent the characters in this scene. While Henri IV is directly taken from the table of Flemish Frans Pourbus (1610, Paris, Louvre), representation of Marie de Medici is inspired by the paintings of the gallery Medici commissioned to Rubens for the Luxembourg Palace in 1621 ( Louvre Museum).
