Cephalus Hiding the Jewels by Bernardino Luini places a furtive mythological episode inside a landscape so calm it almost gets away with looking innocent. Cephalus crouches beneath the trees while distant figures carry on, leaving the secret hidden in plain sight.
About the Artwork
Luini made the original around 1520–1522 as a fresco. It was later transferred to canvas and is now held by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The reproduction preserves its tall format, subdued pastoral palette, and layered landscape.
Design & Styling
A narrative-rich choice for traditional, Renaissance-inspired, pastoral, and eclectic rooms. The softened greens and ochres pair naturally with wood, stone, neutral textiles, and collected furnishings.
Print Quality & Materials
Available in Fine Art, Matte, and Semi-Glossy paper finishes. Fine Art is textured, Matte is smooth and low-sheen, and Semi-Glossy provides a satin-like surface with stronger contrast. Printed with giclée inks and shipped rolled for protection. Paper weight varies by selected finish.
Framing & Display
This fine art print is sold unframed. Frames shown in lifestyle or gallery images are for display inspiration only and are not included. Framing behind glazing can help protect the print during display.
Original vs. Print
This listing is for a professionally produced reproduction, not Luini’s original fresco transferred to canvas. Innocently Insane Creations is not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Gallery of Art.

Poster/Canvas Care
Care Instructions: Poster
Keep it out of direct sunlight, which fades ink over time. Hang it in a dry room, away from steam and damp. Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth, and don’t spray or wipe it with liquid. For the longest life, put it under glass in a frame. Handle it by the edges, and store it flat or rolled loosely, never creased.
Care Instructions: Canvas
Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat vents and damp rooms. Dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a dry brush. Don’t use water, sprays or cleaners on the print. Hang it on a secure wall mount, and avoid pressing on the front of the canvas. If it’s stored, keep it upright and wrapped in a clean cloth, away from anything that could dent the front.
