What does the Art Institute Chicago state about the artwork created by Workshop of Rogier van der Weyden? (© Copyright - by Art Institute Chicago - Art Institute Chicago)

Combining tenderness and regal authority, Rogier van der Weyden’s influential compositions of the Virgin and Child were repeated and varied by the master, his workshop, and by later Netherlandish painters. Here the Virgin supports the Child on a cushion that appears to rest on the edge of the picture’s frame, as though revealing the infant to the viewer through a window opening. Van der Weyden used elements such as the gems decorating the Virgin’s dress, her pearl-studded circlet, and the thronelike associations of the rich red velvet hanging behind her to characterize her as the queen of heaven. At the same time, by depicting her nurturing her infant, the artist emphasized Christ’s human nature and the Virgin’s role as an intercessor for mankind.

Product materials you can choose from

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. The following options are available for individualization:

• Print on glossy acrylic glass (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, which is often labelled as a UV print on plexiglass, will change an artwork into great décor and forms a distinct alternative option to canvas or aluminium dibond art prints. The artwork will be printed thanks to state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. With a glossy acrylic glass art print sharp contrasts and also image details become more visible with the help of the granular tonal gradation. The plexiglass protects your chosen art print against light and heat for between 40-60 years.
• The poster print on canvas material: Our poster is a UV printed flat canvas with a granular surface finish. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the print to facilitate the framing.
• Canvas: A canvas print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang your Canvas print without the help of extra wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with an outstanding effect of depth, which creates a fashionable impression thanks to a non-reflective surface structure. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite work of art onto the aluminium white-primed surface. The colors are vivid and luminous in the highest definition, the details appear crisp and clear.
