Madonna of the Magnificat by Sandro Botticelli giclée fine art print

Please note: this listing is for the unframed print only. The gilded frame around the round painting is part of the printed design; the black frames shown in the photographs are for display purposes and are not included.

The Virgin Mary is writing. Two kneeling angels hold the book and the inkwell for her, two others raise a golden crown above her head, and the words she writes are her own song, the Magnificat: My soul doth magnify the Lord. On her lap the Christ Child rests his hand on her arm and holds a pomegranate. Botticelli’s Madonna of the Magnificat, one of the treasures of the Uffizi, brings to a Christian home the joy of the Visitation and the evening prayer the Church has sung for fifteen centuries.

✨Why Choose This Sacred Artwork?

Few paintings are as tender and as rich at once. Botticelli fills the round panel with faces turned toward Mary, the young angels with their golden curls, the Child looking up, and Mary herself, eyes lowered, absorbed in the words she is writing. The crown above her is drawn in fine gold lines against a curved sky, and a quiet Tuscan valley opens behind the group. The round format, the tondo, draws the eye in a circle from face to face and back to the book. On this print the tondo sits in a richly gilded square frame, so that it reads on the wall as a precious object, as it would in a Florentine palace.

📖 Inspiration & Story

Sandro Botticelli (about 1445 to 1510) painted the Madonna of the Magnificat in Florence around 1483, in tempera on a round panel more than a metre across, at the height of his fame and in the years of his great religious and mythological works. The scene illustrates the canticle Mary sang when she visited her cousin Elizabeth (Luke 1:46-55), which the Church sings every evening at Vespers, and Botticelli joins it to the coronation of the Queen of Heaven and to the pomegranate in the Child’s hand, a sign of the Passion and of the Resurrection. The curved, almost mirror-like space of the tondo, the gold threads of the veils and the grave sweetness of the faces made it one of the most admired Madonnas of the Renaissance, copied many times in Botticelli’s workshop. Its story, and the song it illustrates verse by verse, are told in our article on the Magnificat prayer.
