Leonardo da Vinci: Ginevra de' Benci, 22'' Canvas Print, Framed
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.
