About this work

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
Year: c. 1474–1478
Medium: Oil on panel
Original size: 38.1 × 37 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Renaissance

A young Florentine woman with a pale, unsmiling face and tight copper curls is set against a dark juniper bush, with a misty river landscape opening on the right. Leonardo painted Ginevra de' Benci in Florence between about 1474 and 1478, probably to mark her betrothal or her marriage at sixteen to Luigi Niccolini; the juniper, ginepro in Italian, plays on her name and was a symbol of female virtue. The reverse carries a juniper sprig in a wreath of laurel and palm with the motto Virtutem forma decorat, beauty adorns virtue, and infrared examination has found the motto of the Venetian ambassador Bernardo Bembo beneath it, suggesting he had a part in the commission. The bottom of the panel was cut down at some point, probably taking her hands with it. The National Gallery of Art bought the portrait from the Prince of Liechtenstein in 1967; it is the only painting by Leonardo on public view in the Americas.

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 pale young woman before a dark juniper bush and a blue river view, in umber, copper and green, for a study, library or quiet bedroom at 16×24 in black. A deep green or warm stone wall; it pairs with Lady with an Ermine.

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 Ginevra de' Benci 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 National Gallery of Art.

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 Ginevra de' Benci painted, and in what medium?

Ginevra de' Benci dates from c. 1474–1478 and was made in oil on panel; the original measures 38.1 × 37 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 Ginevra de' Benci we'd choose 16×24.
