Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 13.8 × 10.8 in print therefore arrives as 16.1 × 13.2 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 33.9 × 26.6 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Annibale Carracci's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 35 × 27.5 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in National Gallery, London, UK. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Carracci painting. "The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist" - quite a mouthful, isn't it? But that's the Renaissance for you.

What strikes me first is the rich color palette. Carracci's not shy with his reds and blues here. The Virgin Mary's got this vibrant pink dress on, topped with a deep blue cloak. It's eye-catching, no doubt about it.

The composition's interesting - a bit crowded, but in a good way. Mary's at the center, holding a chubby little Christ child. He's reaching out to Saint John, who's got this scruffy animal skin on. Typical John the Baptist fashion, I suppose.

Off to the side, there's Joseph. He's got that "I'm just here for moral support" look about him. Classic Joseph, really.

The background's a bit of a tease. There's a hint of landscape, some trees, but Carracci's not letting it steal the show. He's thrown in a red curtain too, just to remind us we're looking at something important.

Technique-wise, it's smooth. The figures have this soft, almost glowing quality to them. It's that idealized beauty the Italian Renaissance was so fond of.

What I find fascinating is how Carracci's managed to make it feel both grand and intimate at the same time. It's a holy family, sure, but they also look like they could be your neighbors - if your neighbors were impossibly good-looking and wore fancy robes, that is.
