General description as provided from The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

While John the Baptist was frequently represented in Netherlandish art, his pairing with Saint Francis is rare in the North. The latter was venerated especially in southern Europe, suggesting that these paintings could have been commissioned by an Italian merchant working in Bruges. Originally the wings of a triptych, they might have flanked a Crucifixion or a Lamentation, for they both share the theme of Christ’s sacrifice: Saint John points to the Lamb of God, a familiar metaphor for Christ as the redeemer of mankind, and Saint Francis miraculously receives the stigmata at a distance from his monastery on Mount Alverna.

  • Canvas print: A printed canvas, which should not be confused with a canvas painting, is a digital copy printed on a UV direct printing machine. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all types of walls.

The colors are bright and vivid in the highest definition, the fine details are crisp, and the print has a a matte appearance that you can literally feel. The direct print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely modern way to display fine art prints, because it draws attention on the whole artwork.
