Madonna of the Magnificat (Detail) Canvas - Ornate Gold Framed Art

Does not come with glass

Our Madonna del Magnificat ("Madonna of the Magnificat") by Sandro Botticelli intricately displays Mary as Queen of Heaven. Painted in the later 15th century, Botticelli used large amounts of gold to adorn the picture, making it one of his costliest paintings! The grandness of this reaffirms the grandeur of Mary as she is being crowned by Angels with a crown of numerous stars. This particular picture zooms in on Mary's disposition as she is urged to write the Magnificat, her song of praise to God in Luke 1:46-55, by the Christ Child. The connection of Mary as Queen with her praise of God reveals the cause of Mary's regality: God magnified within her - and her allowing Him to do so. This greatness is depicted on the Virgin's face as she writes the song of her soul with great seriousness, humble devotion, and piety. Currently, Botticelli's painting is on display at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy.

This particular item is an archival-quality giclee canvas in a beautiful gold solid wood frame. Handcrafted in Steubenville, Ohio, this touching devotional piece is sure to be treasured for years to come!

Nelson framed canvases are second only to the original masterpieces themselves! Solid wood, deluxe gold frames and premium stretcher bars support our breathtaking giclee religious canvases. Giclee is a french word that means "sprayed ink," and it refers to our museum-quality printing process whereby 8 different colored inks combine to create millions of colors that are slowly sprayed into canvas material. This high-tech method of art reproduction offers the highest possible fidelity to the original work and results in a clear depiction with colors as good (or sometimes better) than the original painting. Under archival conditions, giclee canvases have a total color fidelity guarantee for 70-100 years.

For the faithful Catholic that wishes their sacred art to be blessed with holy water: canvases are sparingly water repellant, so while a typical blessing should not damage the canvas whatsoever, those who favor more robust uses of holy water should take caution near the art. ;)
