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 21.7 × 17.9 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 20.3 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 34.2 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 Dürer'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 60 × 49.8 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 Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Albrecht Dürer's "Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child" from 1519. This exquisite panel painting offers a window into the artist's mature style, where technical virtuosity meets profound emotional resonance.

Dürer presents us with a familial grouping that transcends the merely domestic. The composition is cleverly arranged - a human pyramid, if you will. Saint Anne, swathed in pristine white, forms the apex. Her weathered hand rests upon Mary's shoulder, a gesture at once protective and benedictory. The Virgin, clad in a warm coral gown, kneels in reverent prayer. And there, nestled between them, is the Christ Child - plump, alert, and utterly captivating.

What strikes one immediately is the painting's luminosity. Dürer has conjured his figures from the velvety darkness of the background, their forms sculpted by a light that seems to emanate from within. The artist's command of oil paint is breathtaking - observe how he captures the translucence of skin, the soft sheen of fabric, the wisps of hair escaping Saint Anne's headdress.

But technique alone does not account for this work's power. Dürer has imbued his subjects with a startling psychological depth. The infant Christ regards us with an unsettling intelligence. Mary's face is a study in maternal tenderness, her downcast eyes suggesting both devotion and a touch of melancholy. And Saint Anne - oh, what a triumph she is. Her lined face speaks of hard-won wisdom, yet there's a spark in her eyes that hints at inner fire.

What's fascinating is how Dürer subverts expectations. There are no halos, no overtly religious trappings. Instead, he presents the holy family with such naturalism that we might almost mistake them for Nuremberg burghers - were it not for that ineffable air of grace that permeates the scene. It's a masterclass in subtle storytelling, inviting the viewer to engage deeply with both the human and divine aspects of the narrative.

This painting rewards prolonged contemplation. Each viewing reveals new nuances - the interplay of hands, the echoes of form and gesture between generations. Dürer has created a work of profound spirituality that never loses sight of its subjects' essential humanity. It's a testament to his genius, and a cornerstone of Northern Renaissance art.
