• Poster print (canvas material): A poster print is a printed canvas paper with a fine texture on the surface, that resembles the original version of the masterpiece. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Glossy acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is sometimes named as a print on plexiglass, will convert an artwork into gorgeous décor and forms a great alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond prints. The artwork is manufactured with modern UV printing technology. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and granular image details will be visible because of the granular tonal gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your selected fine art print against light and external influences for decades.

What specifically does the The Cleveland Museum of Art say about this work of art created by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo? (© Copyright - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

In 1739 a pair of monumental altarpieces by two Venetian painters (Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Giambattista Pittoni) were installed in a church in southern Germany, part of a carefully orchestrated decorative program that included architecture, painting, sculpture, and decorative stuccowork. This sketch is Tiepolo’s initial design for his altarpiece, submitted for approval before beginning the final work. With quick, assured brushstrokes, he represents the Christian martyr Sebastian bound to a tree and shot with arrows, flooded with radiant light to symbolize his devotion to his faith.
