Dating to 1549, 'Ornament with Mask, Eagle between Satyrs Below' is a masterwork of Northern Renaissance engraving by Heinrich Aldegrever, one of the 'Little Masters' renowned for his intricate ornament prints. This composition exemplifies the era's fascination with classical grotesque motifs, seamlessly integrating architectural symmetry with fantastical elements like satyrs, masks, and eagles. Each print is meticulously reproduced to preserve the fine, incised linework of the original copperplate engraving. To ensure a refined, gallery-ready presentation, every format—including our canvas option—is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, maintaining the historical integrity of Aldegrever's design.
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.
