Dating to 1544, 'Ornament with Eagle and Two Genii' is a masterwork of Northern Renaissance engraving by Sebald Beham, executed after a design by his brother, Barthel Beham. As prominent members of the 'Little Masters' (Kleinmeister), the Beham brothers revolutionized printmaking with miniature engravings of astonishing architectural precision and classical complexity. This intricate composition features a central eagle flanked by two classical genii, framed by dense, symmetrical foliage that reflects the era's fascination with Roman grotteschi. Our archival reproduction honors the delicate line work of the original engraving. Each format, including our premium canvas, is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in its historical proportions without cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation.
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.
