Leonardo da Vinci: Art, Family & Facts - HISTORY. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a painter, architect, inventor, and student of all things scientific.
His natural genius crossed so many disciplines that he epitomized the term “Renaissance man.” Today he remains best known for his art, including two paintings that remain among the world’s most famous and admired, Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Art, da Vinci believed, was indisputably connected with science and nature. Largely self-educated, he filled dozens of secret notebooks with inventions, observations and theories about pursuits from aeronautics to anatomy. But the rest of the world was just beginning to share knowledge in books made with moveable type, and the concepts expressed in his notebooks were often difficult to interpret.

Leonardo: Discoveries from Verrocchio’s Studio, Early Paintings and New Attributions by yaleartgallery. Disarming new findings on Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi. Two examinations of Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi suggest that it was initially conceived as just a head and shoulders, with the hands and arms added later on. © CNN ANALYSIS What is the most characteristic element of a Salvator Mundi, the archetypal image of Christ as Saviour of the World?
It is Christ’s right hand raised in blessing. The left hand cradling an orb completes the type, which was fashionable in north-eastern Italy from around 1500, originating in Northern Europe. But now, two very different kinds of examination of Leonardo’s enigmatic picture, which sold for $450m at Christie’s New York in 2017 and is now owned by the Saudi Arabian culture ministry, suggest that this “Salvator Mundi” was initially conceived as just a head and shoulders, with the hands and arms added later on.
Newly Discovered Leonardo da Vinci Portrait on Display at the College of William and Mary. Leonardo da Vinci’s self portrait.
Photo: courtesy Muscarelle Museum of Art A newly discovered self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, only the second in existence, is currently on exhibit not at the Met or at the Louvre, but inside the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. The self-portrait was unearthed five years ago within the Codex on the Flight of Birds, one of only 20 of da Vinci’s remaining codices, which includes both text and 18 sketches of birds. It was executed in red chalk and depicts an unsmiling da Vinci at age 53. According to curator John Spike, the work went unnoticed within the codex for centuries because of lines of text that run across it.
What Made Leonardo Such a Great Artist? Science, Says a New Book. “Book of Optics” gathered all the available knowledge of the field at the time: Galen’s study of the eye, Euclid’s and Ptolemy’s treatises on geometry, Aristotle’s suppositions about the soul.
What Alhacen theorized, Leonardo put into practice. Roland Barthes once wrote that the photographs that compel us never overpower or coerce; they attract us because they are pensive, they think. Leonardo’s paintings are stuffed with ideas, with suppositions on perspective and distortion, on how the rounded surface of the eye influences perception. They were living laboratories — which is Fiorani’s explanation for the unfinished paintings. Process simply became more alluring to Leonardo than a final product. One wishes only that Fiorani felt freer to think alongside this work. The patness of this description is striking; its laziness borders on indifference. Dimmi, I wanted to say to the writer, tell me not what has been seen before but what you have seen.

The year 2019 marks the 500-year anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci in France, of particular importance for the Louvre, which holds the largest collection in the world of da Vinci’s paintings, as well as 22 drawings.
The museum is seizing the opportunity in this year of commemorations to gather as many of the artist’s paintings as possible around the five core works in its collections: The Virgin of the Rocks, La Belle Ferronnière, the Mona Lisa (which will remain in the gallery where it is normally displayed), the Saint John the Baptist, and the Saint Anne. The objective is to place them alongside a wide array of drawings as well as a small but significant series of paintings and sculptures from the master’s circle. The Leonardo da Vinci exhibition was held under the high patronage of French President Emmanuel Macron Organized by: Vincent Delieuvin, Department of Paintings, and Louis Frank, Department of Prints and Drawings, Musée du Louvre. In partnership with Fnac and RATP.
News.google. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest geniuses in history, with skills and inventions way ahead of his time.
On many occasions his work was surrounded by mystery, hiding secrets not visible at first glance. Now, a new study found another one, linked to bacteria and fungi. Looking for hidden secrets in Da Vinci’s work, a team of researchers from Austria and Italy decided to investigate what was beyond the naked eye in seven of Leonardo’s best-known drawings. They weren’t looking for hidden sketches or anything like that: they were looking for the microbiome.
Leonardo Da Vinci's To-Do List from 1490: The Plan of a Renaissance Man. Most people’s to-do lists are, almost by definition, pretty dull, filled with those quotidian little tasks that tend to slip out of our minds.
Pick up the laundry. Get that thing for the kid. Buy milk, canned yams and kumquats at the local market. Leonardo Da Vinci was, however, no ordinary person. And his to-do lists were anything but dull. Da Vinci would carry around a notebook, where he would write and draw anything that moved him. NPR’s Robert Krulwich had it directly translated. Chalk drawing of Jesus Christ believed to be previously unknown work by Leonardo da Vinci. A newly discovered chalk drawing of Jesus Christ with striking similarities to the Mona Lisa is believed to be a previously unknown work by Leonardo da Vinci.
Italian researchers, who found the work hidden away for centuries in a private collection, claim that the chalk drawing is almost certainly the work of the Renaissance master. Italian researchers have found a previously unseen sketch of Christ (pictured) that they believe to be the work of Leonardo da Vinci, the master painter who was also behind The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper Their claim will provoke intense scrutiny from the art world due to the potential significance of the discovery. 'It is a remarkably beautiful and refined work and I'm absolutely convinced it is a sketch by Leonardo,' Italian art historian Annalisa Di Maria, who has studied the picture, told The Daily Telegraph. Laboratory testing done on the paper on which it is drawn has dated it back to the early 16th century, she said.
Newly discovered sketch of Christ with 'Mona Lisa gaze' is unknown masterpiece by Leonardo Da Vinci, experts claim. ITALIAN researchers have been able to attribute a newly discovered sketch of Jesus Christ to Leonardo da Vinci.
The red chalk drawing of the Biblical figure had been hidden away for centuries in a private collection. Art experts may have stumbled across the Holy Grail of the art world by finding a new work by the Renaissance master, reports The Telegraph. Da Vinci, who died in 1519, is one of the world's most influential artists, behind such works as the Mona Lisa and the painting of the Last Supper. The newly discovered drawing depicts a calm Christ with a Mona Lisa-esque gaze and bears a striking resemblance to other works by Leonardo. It is now set to undergo rigorous scrutiny as the the art world attempts to authenticate whether it is the real deal.

Materials & Techniques - Salvator Mundi Revisited. The study and identification of the materials in a painting and the manner in which they are employed, in comparison with other securely documented works that have been the subject of similar analyses, help to understand the artist’s process and establish the school and period to which a painting belongs. Technical studies cannot, however, “authenticate” a painting; they cannot prove, in other words, that is by a particular master.

October 1 2014 Video: BBC. Images: Copyright Pascal Cotte There was a slew of stories in the press yesterday on the 'secrets' revealed by new analysis of Leonardo's Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, better known as the 'Lady with an Ermine'. Above is the BBC news piece. Here is the Guardian's report. Pascal Cotte (seen below, with a model recreating Cecilia's pose), co-founder of Lumiere Technology in Paris, has analysed the picture using a 'layer amplification method', or 'LAM' which, he says, allows us to peel back the layers of Leonardo's painting to reveal how he made it. Cotte says, in a new book 'Lumiere on the Lady with an Ermine' (available here on Amazon), that Leonardo painted the picture in three seperate stages. A guide to Leonardo da Vinci's technique.

News.google. Scholars have been trying to find Leonardo’s “lost masterpiece” for years—and now, some experts are saying the search will never be complete because the work doesn’t exist at all. At a roundtable held by the Uffizi Galleries in Florence on October 8, art historians Roberta Barsanti, Giancula Belli, Emanuela Ferrretti, and Cecilia Frosinini presented research that they said attests to the fact that the Leonardo work is not behind a wall in Florence’s centuries-old town hall, the Palazzo Vecchio, as some have previously suggested. Their research goes against decades’ worth of work by the researcher Maurizio Seracini, who has advocated for high-tech scientific testing that would potentially reveal the fresco’s presence.
News.google. A new high-tech study of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa suggests that the Renaissance master created the painting using a previously unknown preparatory sketch. The faint traces of a charcoal underdrawing, visible thanks to multispectral analysis, are evidence of the spolvero technique, in which the artist pricks tiny holes along the outlines of the drawing and uses charcoal dust to transfer the cartoon to canvas.
The discovery, published by scientist Pascal Cotte in the Journal of Cultural Heritage, was more than 15 years in the making. In 2004, the Louvre allowed Cotte to take photographic scans of the Mona Lisa, and he’s spent the intervening decade and a half tirelessly poring over the more than 1,650 resulting images. “The Louvre invited me because I am the inventor of a new very high-resolution, highly sensitive multispectral camera,” Cotte told Artnet News in an email. October 12, 2019 - Air Mail. I first saw the Salvator Mundi on April 27, 2005. A longtime friend, an art historian and dealer in Italian Old Master paintings, brought it to the apartment I shared with my husband, Mario Modestini.
He had just received it from a New Orleans auction house and was hoping that I would agree to restore it. As is now well known, the Salvator Mundi was later recognized as a lost work by Leonardo da Vinci, and in 2017 it became the most expensive painting ever sold, bringing in $450.3 million at auction at Christie’s.
