Leonardo da Vinci
Description
Leonardo da Vinci began his career around 1472 in Florence as a portrait painter. This program examines ten elements in da Vinci's The Virgin, the Infant Jesus, and Saint Anne: darkness and light, volume and color, figure and setting, distance, proximity, movement, and rest. In this painting, Saint Anne wears her hair braided. Her eyes are lowered and she is smiling. On her knees, the Virgin Mary is shown in a low-neck dress, leaning toward the infant Jesus. The program refers to the first sketches of this painting to explore its hidden meanings.
