Order the product material of your choice
The product dropdown menu provides you with the opportunity to select your favorite size and material. You can choose among the following product customization options:
- Canvas print: The canvas print is a printed canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher. A canvas generates the distinctive effect of three-dimensionality. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suited for all types of walls in your house.

The artwork is printed thanks to state-of-the-art UV direct printing technology. This makes sharp and vivid colors.

What does the curator team of the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) state about this 17th century artwork made by Peter Paul Rubens? (© - Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) - www.smk.dk)
Yrsselius was originally a sepulchral tablet accompanied by an epitaph which does not survive today. The tablet was originally placed by the abbot’s grave in the church of the St.Michael’s Abbey. A few years prior to his death the abbot gave the church an altarpiece for the high altar, featuring a Rubens painting of the Adoration of the Magi.
Part of an all-inclusive decoration The tablet was intended to be hung in such a way that the abbot looked towards the high altar with his hands folded in “eternal prayer”, taking part in the adoration of the Christ Child on the altarpiece. This form of all-inclusive decoration, where figures in paintings are connected by the mental bridge established through a gaze, a gesture, or spatial links, is a typical feature of the Baroque.
The portrait's colour scheme Matthæus Yrsselius had his portrait painting wearing the white habit of the Premonstratensians with the mitre and the crozier by his side. In a colour scheme typical for Rubens, the white habit shines like mother-of-pearl against a lacquer-red background where the shadow cast by the crozier gives depth.
