Order the product material you would like to hang up in your home

For every product we offer a range of different materials and sizes. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a print on plexiglass, makes the original artwork into beautiful décor.
• Poster print on canvas material: Our poster print is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a slightly rough surface structure, which reminds the actual artwork. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond print: This is a metal print manufactured on alu dibond with an outstanding depth effect, creating a fashionable look by having a non-reflective surface structure. For our Aluminium Dibond option, we print the chosen artwork onto the aluminium composite surface. The colors of the print are vivid and luminous in the highest definition, the fine details of the print are very clear, and there’s a matte appearance that you can literally feel.
• The canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden frame. It creates the plastic impression of three-dimensionality. Also, a canvas generates a lively, comfortable effect. Hanging a canvas print: A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall in your home.

Description by the museum's website (© Copyright - Art Institute Chicago - www.artic.edu)

Perugino’s serene and decorous art was widely influential in his native region of Umbria and beyond, most famously through his contact with the young Raphael. These four panels, together with another one depicting the Resurrection, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, once constituted a predella—a series of small pictures, often with narrative content, forming the base of an altarpiece. In this case, the painting that was positioned above the predella as the focal point of the altarpiece is unidentified. The predella scenes depict moments when Christ’s special nature was revealed: his birth, his baptism by Saint John the Baptist in the river Jordan, his conversation with a woman of Samaria at the well of the patriarch Jacob, the Resurrection, and his appearance to Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection.
