A canvas print is suited for all kinds of walls.

• Printed poster (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed flat canvas paper with a slightly rough surface structure. It is optimally used for placing the art replica with a custom-made frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2-6cm around the print motif in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.

The Aluminium Dibond Print is your ideal introduction to art reproductions made on aluminum.

Devotional images of the breastfeeding Virgin, the Virgo lactans, became extremely popular in fifteenth-century painting, particularly in Bruges, where the Sint-Donaaskerk housed relics of Mary’s hair and milk. While the motif generally derives from a Byzantine icon type (galaktotrophousa), the Virgin and Child in this picture were quoted from Rogier van der Weyden’s Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). The seemingly archaic trompe l'oeil golden niche returns the image to its status as an icon.The frame is original; hinge holes (now plugged) indicate that the panel was formerly the central element of a triptych.
