In this image of the Holy Family, Joseph and Mary lean in to admire the Christ Child while a shepherd looks on, leaning on his staff. Before executing this painting, Battista visited Rome, including an extensive study of Raphael's works. Afterward, Battista began a second style of painting, seen in the flexible pose of Christ, the small hands of the adult figures, the high foreheads, and each figure looking sideways or upward. The landscape is impressionistic and grainy as mysterious silvery-blue moonlight accents the thickly wooded landscape. Rich reds, browns, and greens color the picturesque landscapes, typical of Battista's second style. This small painting was originally attributed to Battista Dossi's brother, Dosso. Both brothers served as court painters to the Duke Alfonso I of Ferrara. However, the symmetry and vibrant colors of the painting, as well as the facial styles of the figures, characterize the work of Battista Dossi.

Which kind of materials can I pick?

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. The following options are available for individualization:

  • The poster print (canvas material): The poster is a printed flat canvas paper with a nice surface structure. It is ideally appropriate for framing your art replica with the help of a special frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin between 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
  • Canvas: A canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. It creates a exclusive impression of three dimensionality. Additionally, a printed canvas makes a nice and appealing appearance. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang up the Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
  • Print on acrylic glass: The acrylic glass print, often referred to as a print on plexiglass, will turn an original work of art into beautiful décor. The artwork is being custom-made with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct print machines. The major advantage of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts and artwork details become more identifiable thanks to the delicate tonal gradation in the picture. Our real glass coating protects your custom art replica against light and heat for up to 60 years.
  • Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): This is a metal print manufactured on aluminium dibond material with an impressive depth. For your Aluminium Dibond option, we print the favorite artwork onto the surface of the aluminum material. The bright & white parts of the work of art shine with a silky gloss but without glow.
