About this work

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
Year: c. 1472–1476
Medium: Oil and tempera on panel
Original size: 90 × 222 cm
Collection: Uffizi Gallery, Florence
Movement: Renaissance

The angel Gabriel kneels on a flowered lawn holding a lily, and the Virgin, seated at a carved marble lectern beside a palazzo corner, lifts her left hand in response; between them a screen of dark cypresses and pines opens onto a hazy harbour and blue mountains. Leonardo painted the long panel in Florence in about 1472–1476, while still in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio, and it is his earliest surviving major work. The lectern appears to derive from the Medici tomb Verrocchio was carving in San Lorenzo in the same years, and Gabriel's wings, first painted like a bird's, were later lengthened by another hand. Little is known of the commission. The picture came to the Uffizi in 1867 from the Olivetan monastery of San Bartolomeo near Florence, catalogued as a Ghirlandaio; in 1869 the scholar Karl Eduard von Liphart identified it as a youthful Leonardo, and a drawing for the angel's sleeve in Oxford later supported him. It hangs in the Uffizi.

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

Where it works

A kneeling angel in red and a seated Virgin in blue across a flowered lawn and a misty harbour, wide and calm, for a dining room or long hallway at 24×16 in natural wood. A cream or soft sage wall; it pairs with Primavera.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×16. Prints at 18×12, 24×16 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard.

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 Annunciation in the public domain?

Yes. Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) 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 18×12 and 24×16 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 Annunciation painted, and in what medium?

Annunciation dates from c. 1472–1476 and was made in oil and tempera on panel; the original measures 90 × 222 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×16 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 18×12 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Annunciation we'd choose 24×16. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
