Dating from the mid-sixteenth century, 'Saint John Summoned to Heaven' represents the pinnacle of Jean Duvet’s visionary oeuvre. As the first major French engraver, Duvet—often compared to Albrecht Dürer—crafted this complex composition as part of his legendary Apocalypse series between 1546 and 1556. The work is celebrated for its dense, architectural horror vacui and profound spiritual intensity, capturing the dramatic moment of ascension with precise, overlapping linework. To preserve the integrity of Duvet's original composition, every format—including our canvas option—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This border floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors the historical scale of the engraving.
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.
