Description
Madonna Litta. A loving mother holds her child in her arms. He is sucking a breast. The Virgin Mary is beautiful. The baby looks amazingly like its mother. He looks at us with a serious expression.
The spaciousness of the canvas contains something very important. The feeling of being present at an event that exists outside of time.
Did you notice that the baby is holding a bird in his hand? That the cut-outs for feeding on the Madonna's dress have been sewn in. And that in haste, one of them has been torn? Have you noticed that the figures are highlighted in an unusual way?
The Madonna stands against the background of two arched windows. Through them you can see the landscape: blue mountain ranges and the sky.
But these windows have no lighting function. The Madonna receives light from a low-intensity source somewhere in the front left-hand corner. Similar lighting used in The Last Supper.
About Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452. He was the son of a notary and a peasant woman who never married.
In 1466, he began working in the workshop of a sculptor named Andrea del Verrocchio. It was here that he began to paint, sculpt and draw.
Leonardo da Vinci became a painter, sculptor, engineer, inventor, musician, writer and architect, and was considered a great genius. He was always very interested in anatomical studies of the human body and could draw human organs in great detail. See more
He was accepted into the painters' guild in Florence in 1472 and opened his own painting and sculpture studio. His fame began to grow and he was commissioned to produce many different and very important works.
Throughout his life, he was in the service of several dukes who commissioned sculptures and paintings from him, but what really interested him was inventing new vehicles, weapons and objects.
All the works of Leonardo da Vinci are known, but the most famous are: the painting of "The Last Supper", which he painted on a fresco in the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan; "La Gioconda", better known as "La Monna Lisa"; and "Vitruvian Man", a famous drawing of a man with four arms and four legs, in which he attempted to study the human body.
He also made many sculptures, but none of them have survived to the present day.
Although he was always creating and building new works, the struggles that took place during his life, as well as the struggles and rebellions that took place after his death, are responsible for the fact that many of his creations were destroyed, burnt or lost, including his remains that were thrown away in an unknown place after a war.
He died on 2 May 1519 in France.
