Johannes Verspronck, 1645 - Portrait of a Man - fine art print

General specifications by the museum (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Like his contemporary Paulus Verschuur in the adjacent portrait by Hals, this man sports a wide-brimmed black hat, lace collar and cuffs, and a crumpled leather glove. But even working with these shared elements of respectable Dutch attire, Verspronck took an individual approach, favoring a far smoother, more illusionistic application of paint than Hals, his main rival for portrait commissions in Haarlem. Over the course of the seventeenth century, tastes largely shifted away from rough and painterly styles and toward the smoother approach of artists like Verspronck.

Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the work of art in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true depth effect. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the best introduction to art replicas made on aluminum. For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the work of art on the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The white and bright parts of the original artpiece shimmer with a silky gloss but without any glare. This direct print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly sophisticated way to showcase artworks, since it puts all of the viewer’s attention on the whole artwork.
