Dating to approximately 1513, Albrecht Altdorfer’s 'The Virgin and Child on a Crescent' stands as a masterwork of the Northern Renaissance, showcasing the artist's pioneering approach to light, form, and architectural precision. As a key figure of the Danube School, Altdorfer infuses this sacred subject with dramatic chiaroscuro and intricate linework, capturing a profound, ethereal atmosphere. This historic engraving is reproduced with meticulous fidelity to the original plate, preserving every delicate hatch mark and tonal nuance. To honor its archival integrity, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation suitable for modern architectural spaces.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
