Hugo van der Goes, 1478 - A Benedictine Monk - fine art print

Original artwork specifications by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

This man’s robe and tonsured hair indicate that he is a Benedictine, but whether this is a portrait of a contemporary monk or an image of a saint is not clear. The panel was cut from a larger image, and unlike some of the donor portraits on display, this sitter gazes downward, creating a more contemplative mood. His attenuated head, the sensitive modeling of his features, and the meditative expression are characteristic of Hugo van der Goes’s late work.

For our Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite artwork right on the aluminium surface. The colors are luminous, details of the print appear crisp, and you can really perceive the matte appearance.
• Print on acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, which is often described as a UV print on plexiglass, will change the original into stunning wall décor. Beyond that, the acrylic fine art print offers a distinct alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond art prints. Your own copy of the work of art is being printed with state-of-the-art UV printing machines. The result of this are vibrant and stunning colors. The real glass coating protects your selected art replica against light and external influences for many years.
• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a UV printed flat canvas paper with a slight texture on the surface. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the print motif to facilitate the framing.
• Canvas: A canvas print, not to be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital copy applied onto cotton canvas. A printed canvas of this work of art will let you turn your art print into a large artpiece like you know from galleries. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
