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 exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. 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 16×24 in black. A warm white, stone or navy wall; it pairs with Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. 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. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

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 12×18, 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 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, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Doge Leonardo Loredan we'd choose 16×24.
