Mother of Mercy – Madonna della Misericordia – by Bartolomeo Caporali– Traditional Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality

In the beautiful painting, Mary has her blue mantle outspread to show her care of the faithful. Underneath are Saints like Anthony, Francis, and Stephen. Beside her are John the Baptist and some of the great popes. Above Mary is her resurrected Son, the source of everything. The angels attend to her, as she is Queen of Angels, as well as our Mother of Mercy, Madonna della Misericordia. The more we turn to her, the better she can help.

Bartolomeo di Segnolo Caporali (c.1420–1503/1505) was born in Perugia, Italy, during the early Renaissance. He came from a family of artists, and he became was very famous in his day. He did many paintings and decorated many churches throughout the region of Umbria. Besides being the major artist of the area and an arbiter of artistic style, he was also a leading figure in the politics of his time.

The original painting is housed at the Museum Complex of St. Francis in Montone, Perugia, Italy. 1482. Tempera on canvas. 236x164 cm (93 x 65 inches! It’s big!)

** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. Approximately 0.5" wide for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance.

There is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper.

We make Archival Quality fine art prints:

Thanks for your interest!
