Unknown - Nativity of Christ - fine art print

Your product product material choices

For every product we offer a range of different materials and sizes. The following options are available for individualization:

• The poster print on canvas material: The Artprinta poster print is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a slightly roughened finish on the surface. A poster print is best suited for putting the art print in a customized frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin between 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with an outstanding depth - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the perfect start to the sophisticated world of art prints on aluminum. For the Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite artpiece onto the aluminium composite surface. The colors are luminous and bright, the fine details appear crisp. The UV print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most popular entry-level products and is an extremely contemporary way to showcase art, since it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the replica of the artwork.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is often labelled as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms your favorite artwork into marvellous décor and forms a great alternative to aluminium and canvas fine art prints. Your own replica of the work of art will be made with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct printing technology. The great advantage of an acrylic glass fine art copy is that contrasts and details become visible because of the precise gradation. The plexiglass protects your selected fine art print against sunlight and heat for many years.
• Canvas: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a real canvas painting, is a digital copy applied on a canvas. Your canvas print of this artwork will allow you to transform your own fine art print into a large size artwork as you would see in a gallery. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.

Disclaimer: We try everythig possible to depict the products with as many details as we can and to showcase them visually on the various product detail pages. Please bear in mind that the tone of the printed materials and the printing can differ to a certain extent from the representation on the device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the condition of the surface, colors may not be printed 100% realistically. Since all are processed and printed by hand, there might as well be slight variations in the exact position and the size of the motif.

This gold-ground panel was painted in Crete, a Greek island that was once part of the Byzantine Empire and a center of Orthodox Christianity. The scene depicts the joyous scene following the birth of Christ. The Christ child lies in a manger, looked over by an ox and a donkey; the Virgin Mary appears on the right, kneeling in veneration. To the left, a crowd of smiling angels hover with arms outstretched and hands covered, evoking the clergy handling consecrated bread and wine. Toward the bottom left, the three Magi, wearing gold crowns, approach with gifts. In the foreground we see Joseph, who sits, thinking, in the company of two standing figures: a shepherd and an older man in a dark fur coat who tried and failed to sow seeds of doubt regarding Christ's miraculous birth. The setting and figures derived from a Nativity fresco of ca. 1370-80 in the Peribleptos Church in Mystras, Greece.
