Capturing Renaissance Radiance

Ginevra de' Benci, the daughter of a wealthy banker, was just 16 when her portrait was painted by a young Leonardo, who was only a few years her senior. This captivating portrait, the only Leonardo painting in the Americas, is a pivotal work in the artist's career, showcasing his early mastery and innovative techniques.

Did you know that Leonardo was still experimenting with oil paints at this time? The subtle wrinkling of the surface reveals his learning process, yet his careful observation of nature and the smoky, three dimensional rendering of Ginevra's face were a groundbreaking departure from the linear style of the time. This new naturalism would go on to define Renaissance painting.

Leonardo was an innovator in more ways than one. He broke with convention by placing Ginevra in an open setting, rather than the traditional sheltered interior. Her three quarter pose was also one of the first of its kind in Italian portraiture. The lush, spiky juniper bush framing her face is not just a beautiful detail it's a clever pun on her name, as juniper is ginepro in Italian, and symbolises her chastity.

Tragically, the original panel was cut down at some point, removing Ginevra's hands. However, a surviving drawing by Leonardo suggests they were holding a sprig, possibly a pink flower, a symbol of devotion or virtue. This print allows you to appreciate the exquisite detail that remains, bringing a piece of this fascinating story into your home.
