workshop of Hans Memling, 1480 - Virgin and Child - fine art print

Additional information by The Cleveland Museum of Art (© - The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

This small panel was once part of a devotional portrait diptych (a hinged two-panel painting). The Christ child’s attention seems drawn to something outside the picture and lifts his hand in recognition. The opposing panel, once hinged on the right, would have featured a portrait of its original owner in prayer, now unfortunately lost. Such devotional portrait diptychs were popular after 1400 and remained so until their production ceased around the 1530s. Used in private chapels or within the curtain folds of four-poster beds, they could easily be closed when not in use. Hans Memling was born near Frankfurt, Germany. He settled in Bruges around 1465 where he developed a reputation for his painting skills, and provided works to the Burgundian court, which likely cultivated the taste for small portrait diptychs. This example seems to have been painted by a member of Memling’s workshop, perhaps for a wealthy merchant or clergyman.

• Canvas: The printed canvas, which shall not be mistaken with a canvas painting, is a digital copy applied on a canvas. A canvas generates a distinctive look of three-dimensionality. A canvas print of your favorite artwork will allow you to transform your fine art print into a large artpiece like you would see in a true gallery. How do I hang a canvas on the wall? Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for all kinds of walls.

For the Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print the artpiece on the aluminium composite surface. The white & bright parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silky gloss, however without the glare. This print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly sophisticated way to display fine art reproductions, as it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the whole artwork.
• The poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a UV printed canvas paper with a slightly rough surface finish. It is excellently used for placing the fine art print in a custom frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2-6 cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing.
• The glossy acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often labelled as a plexiglass print, will transform the original artwork into brilliant décor and offers a viable alternative option to dibond and canvas art prints. The work of art will be custom-made with modern UV printing machines. This creates vibrant and deep print colors. The real glass coating protects your selected fine art print against light and heat for up to six decades.
