Leonardo
Collection
Set I-II - 20 most famous paintings in the world:
Leonardo
da Vinci
(1452-1519), Italian artist, one of the great masters of the High
Renaissance.
who was
also celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist
His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian
art for more than a century after his death.
The
most dazzlingly poetic pictures ever created - Leonardo's three
great portraits of women all have a secret wistfulness. This
quality is at its
most enigmatic in the Mona
Lisa's (Set I, LEO018) inward amusement,
at its most appealing in the Lady
with an Ermine’s (Set I, Code LEO010) gentle submissiveness,
and at its most confrontational in Ginevra
de' Benci's (Set I, Code: LEO004) self-absorption.
It has that haunting, almost unearthly beauty peculiar to Leonardo.
The
Last Supper, One of the masterpieces of Renaissance art, showed
radical changes when it was unveiled in 1999 after 20 years of restoration
work. After all these efforts, the original colors, patterns and shapes
painted by Leonardo da Vinci were vividly brought to life after 500 years.
In 1498, one of Leonardo's finest
paintings, "The Last Supper", was completed, after four years of
innovative work. It was painted on wall in the abbey of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.
