The subject of this large altarpiece, the adoration of the empty cross on Golgatha, is unusual. According to a documented inscription on the lost original frame, the painting was made in 1480 for Aloisius Rudolphe de Pérussis, whose family coat of arms and motto are displayed on the side panels. One of the kneeling donors, presented by John the Baptist and Saint Francis, may be Aloisius himself. Originally from Florence, the Pérussis or Peruzzi took refuge in Avignon after they were exiled by Cosimo de' Medici in 1434. Included in the background landscape is a faithful topographical view of Avignon.

The artwork is custom-made thanks to the help of modern UV print technology. This makes impressive and rich color shades. The major upside of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts plus minor painting details will be exposed due to the granular tonal gradation. The acrylic glass protects your chosen art print against light and heat for many years to come.

This means, it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
