This great artist is characterized by his ebullient spirit and overflowing curiosity. He cultivated a scientific approach that placed him at the forefront of his time, and still fascinates, five centuries later.
"Mona Lisa
This famous portrait is said to be of Mona Lisa, probably the wife of a Florentine merchant. It is one of the few works that is attributed with certainty to Leonardo da Vinci. It is known that he never parted with it and sold it to Francis I when he arrived in France.
The woman is depicted in mid-body, with a slight enigmatic smile on her face, dressed severely, despite her cleavage. Is it a mourning dress?
The landscape in the background has typical Leonardo characteristics, such as a small river, or a stone bridge. The artist uses the sfumato technique, which allows him to blend the shadows and give softness to the face.
