An extraordinary testament to Northern European portraiture, this striking depiction of Maximilian II, Archduke of Austria, captures the imperial gravitas of the Habsburg dynasty. Engraved by Pieter de Jode II after a composition by Sir Peter Paul Rubens, the work exemplifies the meticulous line work and dramatic chiaroscuro characteristic of classical master printmaking. Every format of this historic engraving—including our archival canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors the architectural precision of the original plate.
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.
