The Museum Outlet - Benedetto Bonfigli - The Adoration of the Kings, and Christ on the Cross, Stretched Canvas Gallery Wrapped. 58x78"
(Matte Canvas: Produced on bright white, fine poly-cotton ...)
Matte Canvas: Produced on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using the latest generation giclee technology. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums and art galleries in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries. The giclee process involves the spraying of millions of ink droplets onto high quality paper. The smooth transitions of color gradients make giclee prints appear much more realistic than other prints. Although our reproductions come in standard sizes, they can be enlarged as per your requirement. However, please note that the dimensions of the length and breadth of the original will need to be maintained in the same ratio. Changing the ratios would result in either a skewed or cropped reproduction; neither of which are desirable or available. All our giclee canvas gallery wrapped prints come already stretched on the frame. There is no other assembly required. Our team carefully stretches each canvas onto the frame to give you a professional gallery wrapped canvas print. We use quality galvanized steel staples when stretching the canvas. Then, we finish it with brown framing tape hiding all the staples. Our packaging has been designed to ensure your canvas will arrive to you in perfect condition with as little waste as possible.

Benedetto Bonfigli
Edit ProfileEducation
Bonfigli trained in Perugia from 1430-1440.
Career
Until near the middle of the 15th century the Umbrian school was far behind those of Florence and the North, but in the person of Perugino and some of his followers it suddenly advanced into the very first rank. Among the latter none holds a more distinguished place than Benedetto Bonfigli.
The painter's first commissioned work is attributed to the Virgin and Child with Two Angels for a chapel near S. Pietro, Perugia on March 7, 1445.
The most important of his extant works are a series, in fresco, of the life of St Louis of Toulouse, in the communal palace of Perugia.
His major works are Adoration of the Child (1450), Adoration of the Kings, and Christ on the Cross (1465-75); Altarpiece Adoration of the Magi with the predella of Episodes from the Life of Christ and a Miracle of St Nicholas, Adoration of the Magi (ca. 1466), Annunciation, Annunciation with St Luke (Perugia, G. N. Umbria), Christ Hurling Thunderbolts on Perugia with the Virgin and Saints Interceding (1472), Crucifixion with SS Francis and Herculanus (restored 1565), Gonfalon of San Bernardino (1465)
