About this work

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
Year: c. 1503–1519
Medium: Oil on poplar panel
Original size: 168 × 130 cm
Collection: Musée du Louvre, Paris
Movement: Renaissance

The Virgin sits on the lap of her mother, Saint Anne, and leans forward to draw back the Christ Child, who has seized a lamb, a sign of his coming Passion; behind them blue mountains fade into mist. Leonardo had worked on the theme for years, including the large drawing known as the Burlington House Cartoon in the National Gallery, London. The panel is often linked to a commission from Louis XII of France after the birth of his daughter in 1499, but it was never delivered, and Leonardo was still working on it, unfinished, when he died in France in 1519. In 2008 a Louvre curator found faint sketches on the back, including a horse's head and half a skull, judged very probably by Leonardo. A cleaning completed in 2012 brightened the colours and led two members of the advisory committee to resign in protest. It hangs in the Louvre.

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

Saint Anne, the Virgin in blue and the Child with a lamb stacked in a pyramid before misty blue mountains, for a living room, landing or study at 24×36 in natural wood. A cream, stone or pale blue wall; it pairs with Mona Lisa.

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 The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne 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 Musée du Louvre.

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 The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne painted, and in what medium?

The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne dates from c. 1503–1519 and was made in oil on poplar panel; the original measures 168 × 130 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 The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne we'd choose 24×36.
