About this work

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
Year: c. 1503–1506
Medium: Oil on poplar panel
Original size: 77 × 53 cm
Collection: Musée du Louvre, Paris
Movement: Renaissance

A half-length portrait of a woman seated before a hazy landscape of winding paths, water and distant mountains, her hands folded and her expression hovering between a smile and repose. Leonardo probably began it in Florence around 1503; the sitter is generally identified as Lisa Gherardini, wife of the silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo. He is thought to have kept working on it for years and took it with him to France, where it passed into the royal collection and then to the Louvre. The soft transitions between tones, with no hard outlines, are the technique known as sfumato, built up from many thin glazes of oil on a poplar panel. Its theft in 1911 and recovery two years later made it the most famous painting in the world.

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 smoky portrait with soft, muted tones that reads best at close range and eye level: a study, landing or reading corner at 16×24. Black frame on a warm neutral wall; it is lost above a sofa at a distance.

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 Mona Lisa 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 Mona Lisa painted, and in what medium?

Mona Lisa dates from c. 1503–1506 and was made in oil on poplar panel; the original measures 77 × 53 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 Mona Lisa we'd choose 16×24.
