Giclée Print Quality 400 g/m² Canvas (Satin Gloss) + 1.2 in Borders for Stretching 100+ Year Colour Guarantee Free WorldWide Shipping!

Most people search for “canvas print” or “wall art” - but what they’re really looking for is a giclée print: a museum-grade reproduction of the original masterpiece, printed with archival pigment inks on fine art canvas.

Giclée (pronounced 'zhee-clay') is a French term meaning 'to spray,' referring to how ink is precisely sprayed onto canvas or paper, creating incredibly detailed fine art prints. It’s the gold standard in museum-quality printing, loved by artists, galleries, and museums worldwide.

Your artwork will be printed on premium canvas using vibrant archival inks, faithfully capturing every brushstroke and subtle nuance of Raphael's original. To ensure lasting beauty, each print is finished with a protective UV varnish. Far superior to ordinary posters, your canvas print will look and feel like a real painting, retaining its vivid colors and pristine details for more than 100 years.

About Giclée Fine Art Printing

Here's a simple trick: use painter’s tape to mark the print size directly on your wall, and step back to see how it feels. Generally, larger sizes around 36 in wide work beautifully in living rooms or open spaces. Medium sizes around 24 in fit nicely in bedrooms, hallways, or offices. Hanging it above a sofa? Choose a print that's roughly two-thirds the width of your couch. Still unsure? Start with our popular 21.7 × 15.9 in size—it fits comfortably in most spaces!

For a more artistic approach: choosing a size closer to the original artwork ensures you experience the artist’s intended visual impact and authenticity. Of course, since most of us don't live in spacious baroque palaces, your available space and personal taste should ultimately guide your decision.

In many cases, yes! If you need a specific size to fit a particular space or frame, feel free to reach out—we're happy to see what’s possible. Because each print is made to order, we can often accommodate custom dimensions as long as they respect the proportions of the original painting.Just send us an email at info@topartprint.com with the title of the artwork and the size you're looking for. We’ll get back to you quickly with options and pricing.

Good to know: when you choose the size of your artwork, the Print Size shown in the Your Selection box refers to the actual image area—that’s the part you’ll see once the canvas is stretched or framed.

The Total Size includes an additional 1.2 in white border on each side, added specifically for stretching.
So yes—this white border is added on top of your selected print size. You get the full artwork at the dimensions you picked, plus extra canvas to make stretching smooth and professional.

For example, if you select a 21.7 × 15.9 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 24.0 × 18.3 in—giving your framer plenty of room to create a clean, gallery-quality stretch.

Both options are wonderful choices! Going unframed gives you maximum flexibility—you can take your print to a local framing shop for personalized options and expert advice tailored to your décor. This is especially great if you have specific design ideas or want to match existing frames in your home.

However, keep in mind that a print truly comes to life when properly framed. Art professionals often say: 'The frame contributes 30% of the artwork’s overall impact.' A well-chosen frame elevates and completes your print.

If you choose our framing option, your print will arrive professionally framed and ready to hang right out of the box. We focus exclusively on traditional framing methods, ensuring every artwork receives the respectful presentation it deserves—this is why we don't offer gallery wrap options.

Important shipping note: Due to courier restrictions, we can ship framed prints up to 28 in on the longest side. Larger prints will arrive safely rolled in a tube, ready for you to frame locally.

We've carefully selected this premium canvas because it brings out the absolute best in Raphael's work. Made from natural cotton with a 400 g/m² weight, it has just the right texture to capture every brushstroke and detail of the original painting.

What makes our canvas special? The satin-gloss finish. Think of how paintings look in museums with that beautiful varnish—that's exactly the effect we're going for. This glossy surface makes colors pop with incredible vibrancy while giving deep, rich blacks that matte canvases simply can't achieve. The result? Your print has that authentic 'real painting' look with extraordinary depth and life.

Plus, our canvas is acid-free and pH-neutral, so it'll stay beautiful for generations. We believe The Sistine Madonna deserves nothing less than this museum-quality treatment.

Every print is made just for you—no mass production here! Once you place your order, we begin creating your The Sistine Madonna print with care and precision.

About the Painting

In "The Sistine Madonna," Raphael conjures a vision of the divine that feels both monumental and deeply human. The Virgin Mary, holding the Christ child, emerges from a swirling mass of clouds, as if stepping from another realm. Yet her expression grounds her in a poignant reality - a mother aware of the weight of her son’s fate. The Christ child, though held in his mother’s arms, exudes a solemnity beyond his years, his small hand lifted in a gesture of serene authority. Raphael presents this celestial pair not as distant icons but as figures imbued with a palpable sense of destiny.

What immediately draws the eye is the interplay of color. Mary’s rich blue robe anchors the composition, its deep hue contrasted against the soft, golden tones of the two saints beside her. Saint Sixtus, in his golden vestments, leans forward with an intense humility, gesturing toward the earthly realm as if drawing attention to the sacred moment unfolding. On the other side, Saint Barbara gazes downward in quiet reflection, her vibrant greens and reds adding a subtle energy to the otherwise serene scene. Raphael balances the figures with exquisite care, allowing each to hold their own emotional space within the composition.

The lush green curtains framing the scene are a reminder of the theatricality inherent in religious art. It’s as if the painting is a revelation, the divine truth unveiled before our eyes. And then, at the bottom, are the two cherubs, perhaps the most famous detail. Their innocent, almost casual postures provide a gentle contrast to the solemnity above. They peer upward with wide-eyed curiosity, as if contemplating the mysteries unfolding in front of them. They are both part of and apart from the divine, a subtle touch of humanity that invites the viewer in.

Raphael’s technique is as precise as it is tender. The smooth transitions from light to shadow, the delicate rendering of flesh, fabric, and sky - all come together to create an image that feels timeless. "The Sistine Madonna" is not merely a representation of the sacred, but a meditation on the profound intersection of the divine and the human. It speaks of grace, not only in its subject matter but in its execution, making it one of the most quietly powerful works of the Renaissance.
