General description from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Christ is shown as the Savior of the World (Salvator Mundi), a popular image in fifteenth-century painting. Front-faced, he holds a cross-topped globe and raises his right hand in blessing, merging the themes of the Holy Face (Christ’s features miraculously imprinted on a cloth) and Christ in Majesty. The small, circular format made this picture appropriate for hanging above a bed.

We offer a range of different materials and sizes for every product. Choose among the following product options now to match your preferences in size and material:

A canvas of your favorite masterpiece will let you turn your into a large work of art. How do I hang a canvas on my wall? The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are 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 suited for all types of walls.
- Poster on canvas material: The poster print is a UV printed flat canvas paper with a slightly rough texture on the surface, that resembles the actual artwork. A poster print is particularly used for placing your art replica in a custom frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the painting in order to facilitate the framing.
- Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often named a plexiglass print, changes an original artwork into wonderful décor. Your own version of the work of art is custom-made with modern UV direct printing technology. This creates the effect of sharp, vivid colors. The major upside of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts and also small color details become more visible because of the delicate gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against sunlight and heat for many years.
- Aluminium dibond print (metal): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true depth. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your excellent introduction to art reproductions with aluminum. For the Aluminium Dibond print, we print the selected artpiece on the surface of the white-primed aluminum material. This print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly stylish way to showcase art reproductions, because it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the replica of the artwork.
