About this work

Artist: Jan van Eyck (c. 1390–1441)
Year: c. 1435
Medium: Oil on panel
Original size: 66 × 62 cm
Collection: Musée du Louvre, Paris
Movement: Northern Renaissance

Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duchy of Burgundy, kneels in a fur-trimmed brocade robe at a prayer desk, facing the Virgin, who presents the Christ Child as an angel holds a jewelled crown over her head; behind them a loggia of columns and carved reliefs opens onto a walled garden of lilies, irises and roses and a minutely painted city on a river, with hazy mountains beyond. Jan van Eyck painted it in about 1435, when Rolin was around sixty, for his parish church of Notre-Dame-du-Chastel in Autun, and the city in the background is probably meant to suggest Autun. Two small men look out over a parapet into the view, and the bridge, boats and passers-by are rendered in tiny detail under an even light. The picture remained in the church until it burned in 1793, spent a period in Autun Cathedral and came to the Louvre in 1805. A conservation treatment led to an exhibition devoted to it at the Louvre in 2024.

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 chancellor in brocade before the Virgin in red, a jewelled crown and a far river city through three arches, for a living room, study or dining room at 24×36 in black. A deep red, stone or warm white wall; it pairs with The Arnolfini Portrait.

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 Madonna of Chancellor Rolin in the public domain?

Yes. Jan van Eyck (c. 1390–1441) 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 Madonna of Chancellor Rolin painted, and in what medium?

The Madonna of Chancellor Rolin dates from c. 1435 and was made in oil on panel; the original measures 66 × 62 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 Madonna of Chancellor Rolin we'd choose 24×36.
