Pier Paolo Galeotti Flowering Shrub Growing through Thorns c. 1570 Cla

Dating to circa 1570, 'Flowering Shrub Growing through Thorns [reverse]' is a masterwork of the Italian Renaissance by the renowned medalist and sculptor Pier Paolo Galeotti. Originally conceived as a reverse design for a commemorative medal, this composition juxtaposes the delicate resilience of a blossoming shrub against a dense, architectural thicket of sharp thorns—a profound allegory of virtue triumphing over adversity. Galeotti’s precise, sculptural draftsmanship translates beautifully into this graphic rendering, capturing the tactile depth of the original metalwork. Presented with a refined, gallery-ready presentation, the artwork is floated within a clean white gallery border that preserves the historical composition in its exact, uncropped proportions across all formats, including our premium canvas.

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.
