About this work

Artist: Sandro Botticelli (c. 1445–1510)
Year: c. 1483
Medium: Tempera on panel
Original size: 118 cm (diameter)
Collection: Uffizi Gallery, Florence
Movement: Renaissance

In a round panel the Virgin, crowned by two angels, writes the opening of the Magnificat, her hymn of praise from the Gospel of Luke, in a book held by kneeling angels, while the Christ Child on her lap guides her hand; in her other hand she holds a pomegranate, a symbol of the Passion and Resurrection. Behind the group a serene river landscape opens through a circular frame, and gold rays descend from the top. Botticelli painted the tondo, about 118 centimetres across, in Florence in about 1483, and made lavish use of gold in the hair, haloes and drapery borders. The opposite page of the book shows part of the Benedictus, the canticle of Zechariah. Nothing is known of its early history; the Uffizi acquired it from a private collection in 1784, and it may have come from one of the monasteries suppressed by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo. Copies exist in the Louvre and in the Morgan Library in New York. It hangs in the Uffizi.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

A round painting of the Virgin in blue with golden angels and the Child, gold rays above a soft landscape, for a living room, landing or study at 16×24 in natural wood. A cream, pale blue or warm white wall; it pairs with The Birth of Venus.

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.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Madonna of the Magnificat in the public domain?

Yes. Sandro Botticelli (c. 1445–1510) 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 Madonna of the Magnificat painted, and in what medium?

Madonna of the Magnificat dates from c. 1483 and was made in tempera on panel; the original measures 118 cm (diameter).

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 Madonna of the Magnificat we'd choose 16×24.
