About this work

Artist: Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430–1516)
Year: 1501–1502
Medium: Oil on poplar
Original size: 61.6 × 45.1 cm
Collection: National Gallery, London
Movement: Renaissance

Leonardo Loredan, Doge of Venice from 1501 to 1521, is shown head and shoulders above a stone parapet against a deep blue ground, in the state robes of his office: a cream and gold damask mantle with large ornamental buttons and the horned ducal cap, the corno ducale, worn over a white linen cap. Bellini, official painter to the Venetian state, painted the portrait in about 1501–1502, soon after Loredan's election, and signed it IOANNES BELLINVS on a small paper attached to the parapet. The composition follows the form of an ancient Roman portrait bust. The picture probably left Venice after the city fell to Napoleon in 1797. The writer and collector William Beckford bought it in 1807 for thirteen guineas and sold it to the National Gallery, London, in 1844, where it hangs today.

This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A doge in shimmering cream damask and a horned cap against intense ultramarine, calm and dignified, for a study, hallway or living room at 18×24 in black. A warm white, stone or navy wall; it pairs with Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

Very slightly cropped. This full-bleed edition prints the painting edge to edge, so a thin sliver, a few percent at most, is trimmed from two opposite edges to fit the print size. We only offer it on paintings whose proportions already come that close to the sheet. For the whole painting, uncropped, choose the gallery edition.

Is Doge Leonardo Loredan in the public domain?

Yes. Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430–1516) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×16, 18×24 and 24×32 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Doge Leonardo Loredan painted, and in what medium?

Doge Leonardo Loredan dates from 1501–1502 and was made in oil on poplar; the original measures 61.6 × 45.1 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×32 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 18×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Doge Leonardo Loredan we'd choose 18×24.
