Inside a grey hall with a beamed ceiling, a man in a green jerkin kneels to offer a red casket to a crowned king in gold brocade, watched by a lady in blue and a crowd of courtiers; a sideboard holds silver vessels. Outside at right, a swordsman in red raises a curved blade over the same man kneeling with joined hands, as the king and lady look on from the steps. Red script and two columns of black text run below, framed by blue and gold acanthus and strawberries.
The original: a folio from the Livre des fais d'Alexandre le grant, Vasco's translation of Quintus Curtius Rufus, tempera colours, gold leaf, gold paint and ink on parchment, written in Lille and illuminated in Bruges about 1470-1475; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
The Master of the Jardin de vertueuse consolation is the name scholars give the illuminator of a copy of Pierre d'Ailly's Jardin de vertueuse consolation, now in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris. A gifted follower of Lieven van Lathem, he worked in Flanders in the 1470s for Burgundian court figures such as the Bruges book collector Louis de Gruuthuse, and illuminated secular and theological texts and saints' lives rather than only books of hours. His Livre des fais d'Alexandre le grant, the deeds of Alexander the Great, is in the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Each print is a giclée, printed to order. Unframed prints are made on Hahnemühle German Etching, a 310gsm matte fine-art paper. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper and arrive in a handmade solid-wood frame with low-reflection glazing, ready to hang. Ships worldwide with free delivery to 30+ countries.

The print is colorful and pleasing to the eye. The paper is of high quality with good thickness that is great for display by itself or in a frame. A good price for the quality! Thank you!

9 Art Prints was founded by author Arif Anwar around two simple ideas: that great art should reach far beyond the familiar Western canon, and that fine art reproductions should be made with exceptional materials.
So we seek out remarkable artists and traditions from around the world, then reproduce them using carefully sourced images, archival giclée printing, and fine art papers from Hahnemühle.
Every work chosen by hand, delivered with shipping and import duties included,
and a real person to help before and after you buy.
Who chooses the art?
People do. Every work in the collection is chosen by hand, from the great names
of art history to artists and traditions you rarely see as prints: Persian miniatures,
South Asian painting, Bauhaus posters, Belle Époque illustration and much more.
What is included in the price?
Your print, delivery to your door and any import duties. Shipping is free and
duties are covered, so there is nothing more to pay when it arrives.
Can I talk to a real person?
Always. Write to support@9artprints.com or call
+1 (647) 455 2253, before you order or long after your print arrives. Choosing a size,
asking about a custom size or a framing question: just ask.
What if something is wrong when it arrives?
We make it right at no cost. If your print arrives damaged, defective or not what
you ordered, tell us and we will arrange a replacement or another fix. You won't need
to send it back. Returns & guarantee
What paper do you use?
Our principal fine-art papers include
Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm and
Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm.
German Etching has a substantial, lightly textured surface that works
exceptionally well for paintings and richly coloured works. Photo Rag
has a smoother cotton surface suited to graphic, modernist and highly
detailed imagery.
Paper is selected according to the character of the artwork rather than
using one generic stock for everything. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper.
What does “giclée” mean?
Giclée is a fine-art printing process using archival pigment inks and
high-resolution inkjet printing, made to reproduce subtle colour gradations,
fine detail and tonal depth.
Will large prints still look sharp?
Large-format reproduction depends heavily on the quality of the underlying
artwork file. We source the highest-resolution material available and
prepare each image for print rather than simply enlarging a small internet image.
That is especially important with historic paintings, posters and archival
works where source quality varies considerably.
What about your framed prints?
Our framed pieces use solid-wood frames, handmade to order, with low-reflection glazing. There is no mount: the print fills the frame. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper.
Will the colours look exactly like my screen?
Screens emit light; paper reflects it, so no physical print can be identical
to every monitor or phone display. We prepare our artwork specifically for
print and aim for accurate colour, contrast and tonal reproduction.
The texture and surface of fine-art paper also give the finished piece
a physical depth that cannot be shown completely on a screen.
“I am not just impressed; I'm blown away by the quality and overall experience. The wood grain in the frame is beautiful and the print quality is superb.”
