The direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly contemporary way to display fine art prints, because it puts the viewer’s focus on the image.
• Canvas: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher. A canvas makes the extra look of three dimensionality. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. Therefore, canvas prints are suitable for any type of wall.
• The poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed sheet of canvas with a granular texture on the surface. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the painting in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.

This painting, which most likely was intended as a single, private devotional panel, combines the depiction of the Nativity and the Adoration of the Shepherds as described in both biblical and mystical literature. It probably dates from the early 1480s, before David established himself in Bruges. The homely and naive figure types and the geometric simplification of the heads of the Virgin and angels reflect models the artist knew from his early training in the northern Netherlands. Already present is the characteristic combination of serene landscape, simple architectural setting, and meditative figures that would contribute to the painter’s popularity.
