Martin Schongauer's 'Madonna with a Parrot' (c. 1470/1475) stands as a definitive masterpiece of the Northern Renaissance, showcasing the artist's unparalleled mastery of engraving. The composition seamlessly merges sacred iconography with intimate naturalism, depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child alongside a symbolic parrot—a complex theological emblem of the Garden of Eden. Schongauer’s precise linework, delicate hatching, and architectural depth are preserved with absolute fidelity. To honor the integrity of this historic engraving, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with the same clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in its standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, preserving the original composition exactly as the artist intended.
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.
