Jean Hey (the Master of Moulins), 1505 - Fragment from Christ Carrying the Cross: Saint John the Evangelist - fine art print

Additional description by the museum's website (© - Art Institute Chicago - www.artic.edu)

These two fragments are all that remain of a painting of Christ carrying the Cross by Jean Hey, the leading painter working in France at the end of the 15th century. Saint John the Evangelist was acquired by the Chicago collector Martin Ryerson in the 1890s; Mourning Virgin, recently identified as a fragment of the same work, was acquired in 2004. Technical examination showed traces of the cross and the head of Christ on both fragments and also provided evidence to connect them to another panel in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow, depicting a saint and donor. These fragments were thus formerly part of an intensely emotional image of Christ’s road to Calvary, which would have formed the left half of a diptych, or portable folding altarpiece, with the representation of the donor in prayer on the right.

Select your product material variant

The product dropdown menu provides you with the chance to select your favorite size and material. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

• The glossy acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often named a print on plexiglass, will turn an original work of art into lovely décor. Furthermore, the acrylic fine art print forms a good alternative option to aluminium or canvas prints. The artwork will be made with modern UV printing machines. It makes rich and impressive color shades. With a glossy acrylic glass art print contrasts and painting details become more exposed thanks to the very subtle gradation in the picture.
• Canvas: The printed canvas stretched on a wooden frame. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
• Poster (canvas material): The poster is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a nice finish on the surface, which reminds the original version of the artwork. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond (metal print): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond material with an impressive effect of depth. For our Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print the artwork on the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The bright parts of the artwork shine with a silk gloss but without the glow. The colors of the print are bright and luminous, fine details are crisp and clear, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel.
