About this work

Artist: Agnolo Bronzino (1503–1572)
Year: c. 1545
Medium: Oil on panel
Original size: 115 × 96 cm
Collection: Uffizi Gallery, Florence
Movement: Renaissance

Eleonora of Toledo, Duchess of Florence, sits upright against a deep ultramarine sky over a hazy landscape, one hand on the shoulder of her small son Giovanni, who stands beside her in blue satin. Her gown, a white and gold brocaded silk with a bold black arabesque and pomegranate pattern, is rendered thread by thread, with a net of pearls over her hair, pearl necklaces and a gold girdle. Eleonora, the daughter of the Spanish viceroy of Naples, married Cosimo I de' Medici in 1539 and became Bronzino's leading patron with her husband. Bronzino painted the portrait in Florence in about 1545, as court painter. It is the first known state-commissioned portrait to include the ruler's heir, and the child and the pomegranate, an emblem of fertility, stress her role in securing the dynasty, while the costly fabric advertised the Florentine silk industry Cosimo promoted. Giovanni, born in 1543, became a cardinal and died young in 1562. The portrait hangs in the Uffizi, Florence.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; natural wood lightens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Eleonora of Toledo with Her Son Giovanni in the public domain?

Yes. Agnolo Bronzino (1503–1572) 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 Uffizi Gallery.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 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 Eleonora of Toledo with Her Son Giovanni painted, and in what medium?

Eleonora of Toledo with Her Son Giovanni dates from c. 1545 and was made in oil on panel; the original measures 115 × 96 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Eleonora of Toledo with Her Son Giovanni we'd choose 24×36.
