Painted circa 1473 to 1474 as part of the celebrated Griffoni Polyptych for the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, Francesco del Cossa’s Saint Lucy represents a pinnacle of the Ferrarese School's intellectual rigor and stylistic eccentricity. The work depicts the patron saint of sight with architectural precision, holding a delicate, stylized sprig from which her eyes bloom like surrealist flora—a striking departure from traditional iconography. Cossa’s mastery of linear perspective and sculptural drapery imbues the figure with a monumental presence. This exquisite reproduction preserves the tempera-like clarity and rich, earthy pigments of the original Renaissance masterpiece. To honor its historical proportions, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork elegantly without cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation suitable for modern architectural interiors.
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.
