Commissioned around 1520 for Alfonso I d'Este’s private Camerino d'Alabastro in Ferrara, Dosso Dossi’s 'The Trojans Repairing Their Ships in Sicily' represents a pinnacle of the Italian High Renaissance. This narrative masterpiece, illustrating a scene from Virgil's Aeneid, showcases Dossi's signature synthesis of Venetian colorism and Roman classical form. The composition's dramatic maritime atmosphere and rich, poetic landscape are preserved with absolute fidelity. To honor the architectural integrity of Dossi's original vision, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation. This consistent clean white gallery border floats the artwork in standard proportions, ensuring no cropping of the historical composition occurs.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
