A poster print is optimally used for placing the art copy with a custom-made frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.

Your canvas print of your favorite artwork will let you turn your personal fine art print into a large size artwork like you know from galleries. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Acrylic glass print: An print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a plexiglass print, changes your favorite artwork into beautiful wall decoration and makes a good alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints. The work of art is manufactured thanks to state-of-the-art UV printing technology. This creates the impression of sharp, vibrant color tones. With an acrylic glass art print sharp contrasts plus small painting details become exposed thanks to the precise tonal gradation.

Gerard David painted in Bruges all his life. Where he trained is unknown, though his early works show the influence of his northern Netherlandish roots, and of the art of Hugo van der Goes and Dieric Bouts. These two Annunciation panels, along with the depictions of the Passion that decorated their reverses (1975.1.119), originally formed the movable wings of an altarpiece. When the wings were closed, the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Annunciate were shown. When opened, on certain feast days, the Christ Carrying the Cross and the Resurrection would have been displayed, flanking a central image, perhaps the Lamentation. Characteristic of David's mature style are the deep, translucent colors and the sensitive integration of figures and space in the Passion scenes. The Annunciation is executed in grisaille to emulate sculpture, yet the flesh tones and hair of the figures depart from the monochromatic gray, in keeping with the softer, naturalistic vein prevalent in Bruges painting at the turn of the century.
