Leonardo da Vinci: Ginevra de' Benci, 22'' Canvas Print, Framed
Specially produced using the highest quality digital imaging, this reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Ginevra de' Benci is printed on canvas and framed in dark wood.
This framed print of Leonardo da Vinci's Ginevra de' Benci (c. 1474/1478) is part of our Masterworks collection of reproductions, specially created using the Gallery's finest quality digital imaging. The image was printed to Gallery specifications and the frame was selected as a style appropriate to the period.
Ginevra de' Benci was the daughter of a wealthy Florentine banker, and her portrait-the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas-was probably commissioned about the time of her marriage at age 16. The portrait is among his earliest experiments with the new medium of oil paint; some wrinkling of the surface shows he was still learning to control it. Still, the careful observation of nature and subtle three-dimensionality of Ginevra's face point unmistakably to the new naturalism with which Leonardo would transform Renaissance painting.
