Pick your material

For every fine art print we offer different materials and sizes. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an impressive depth - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface structure. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to fine reproductions with aluminum. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected artwork on the surface of the aluminum. The white & bright parts of the artpiece shine with a silk gloss but without the glow. The colors of the print are vivid and luminous in the highest definition, the details of the print are crisp and clear, and you can notice a matte appearance.
• Canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed on a cotton canvas. Further, a canvas generates a nice and appealing impression. How do I hang a canvas print on my wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suited for all kinds of walls.
• Acrylic glass print: An acrylic glass print, which is sometimes referenced as a plexiglass print, will convert your chosen original into stunning wall decoration. The artwork is manufactured with state-of-the-art UV printing machines. Our acrylic glass protects your selected art print against sunlight and external influences for many years to come.
• The poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a printed flat canvas paper with a slightly rough texture on the surface. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2 - 6cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing.

Important legal note: We try what we can to depict our art products with as many details as possible and to demonstrate them visually on the different product detail pages. However, the pigments of the printed materials and the imprint might differ marginally from the presentation on the monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all colors are printed as exactly as the digital version on this website. Considering that all the fine art prints are printed and processed manually, there might as well be slight discrepancies in the exact position and the size of the motif.

Table curious that this "Master of the World," appearing naked Child Jesus standing on a parapet, holding in one hand a golden globe, and in the other a cross. Her fixed expression is serious. Behind him, John the Baptist child, naked also refers finger Jesus. St. Elizabeth for him, face down to the work that sews the Vierge.Aucun link is to unite the different characters. They share the same space, which is that of the table, but do not seem to be in the same temporality. The physical barrier parapet could also distinguish two spaces. The painting of the Italian Renaissance often developed the dialectics of presence and absence, leaving out the anachronisms to represent communities spirituelles.Ce painting has long been considered a copy with variations of The Holy Family with St. John Andrea Mantegna (London, National Gallery). The iconography of the two paintings is close, but some divergent elements: the children are dressed in the London table and take place in a well, the figure of St. Elizabeth Ocampo of the table is replaced by St. Joseph in London and the black bottom of the first by orange trees, in the table second.Le also approximates the "Holy Family" arranged on a black background, painted by Mantegna ( "Holy Family with St. Elizabeth and St. John the Baptist", Dresden, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen; "Holy Family with Elizabeth and St. John the Baptist child "Fortworth, Kimbell Art Museum).

It is then tracked him down in 1875, at the sale of Mr. Couvreur (Paris, Hôtel Drouot, No. 66). The painting was bought by Jean Dollfus, then Fishof (3rd Dollfus sale of the collection, Paris, Galerie Georges Petit, 1-2 April 1912, No. 71), for 6 000frs.Charles Sedelmeyer presented the painting in its collection since Charles Vincent Ocampo bought the sale of the latter, 23 November 1927 (Paris, Hôtel Drouot, No. 30).
