Additional specifications from the museum's website (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Bening, a celebrated miniaturist, has taken the Virgin and Child from David's Rest on the Flight into Egypt (displayed nearby) and placed them in a different context. Joseph is absent, and there is no overt reference to the journey of the Holy Family. Thus, in keeping with a contemporary trend toward the secularization of religious scenes, Mary is presented as the very model of a nurturing mother. A stream of milk flows from her breast to the lips of the Child, who turns toward the viewer and gestures with a spoon, linking physical nourishment with the spiritual nourishment he offers.

Materials you can pick from

The product dropdown menu provides you with the chance to choose your individual size and material. You can select your favorite size and material between the following preferences:

  • Canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed canvas stretched on a wood frame. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suited for all types of walls in your home.
  • The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is often referenced as a UV print on plexiglass, will change the artwork into marvellous wall décor. The artwork is printed with the help of modern UV printing technology. This creates the impression of rich and stunning color tones. The great benefit of a plexiglass fine art copy is that contrasts as well as small color details become more identifiable with the help of the precise gradation.
  • Poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed canvas with a granular surface finish. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
  • Aluminium dibond: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an outstanding depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface structure. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to fine prints on aluminum.
