What you are looking at
Leonardo da Vinci keeps the miracle quiet. The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist treats a sacred subject as something happening next door — the drama is in the arrangement of the figures, not in the gestures.
The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist. In our studio the thing that matters is how Leonardo da Vinci actually works: Leonardo dissolves every outline into smoke (sfumato), so nothing in the picture has an edge you can put your finger on.
Why this one has to be painted by hand
These pictures were built on light, and light is the first thing a print loses. Hand-painted, the dark passages keep their colour, so the figures stay inside a room instead of in front of a flat backdrop.
Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. You deal directly with the studio that paints it — no reseller layer.

This one reads well in a quiet room or hall. Because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas we keep the proportions of the original rather than cropping to fit, so an unusually wide or tall composition stays honest at any size.
Questions people ask before ordering
What size should I order for The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist?
Any size you like, because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas. Most collectors choose something between 24 x 20 in and 40 x 30 in for this composition. If your wall needs something else, say so and we quote it.
Is The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist in the public domain?
Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519, which puts this work in the public domain — commissioning a hand-painted reproduction is legal, and owning one is legal anywhere in the world. We never pass ours off as the original and never issue certificates of authenticity.
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we can photograph and pack it. We send photographs of your actual painting for approval before anything ships.
How close will it be to the original?
It is painted by hand from the same image you are looking at, so it is a painting of the painting, not a scan. Expect the composition, colour and drawing to follow the original closely, and expect the brushwork to be our painter's own — that is the point of commissioning one. You approve photographs before it ships.
