Leonadro da Vinci’s Painting, The Mona Lisa The scientists of history still can not settle down about Mona Lisa’s mysterious face. A lot of them spent years to find out, who that woman on the painting was. Another version has come up recently. Magdalena Soest from Germany’s Leverkusen spent ten years of her life, studying Leonadro da Vinci’s painting. He came to conclusion that Mona Lisa was a courtesan, who had the nickname “The Ttigress.” Many experts are sure that Soest’s research will put an
Da Vinci VS. Van Der Weyden Leonardo Da Vinci would often paint religious painting, later become quite well known for them. He made no exception when he painted the Virgin of the Rocks also known as the Madonna of the Rocks. This painting features Mary, the mother of Jesus, baby Jesus, baby John the Baptist, and an angel. They all sit together on a rocking background pointing to Jesus as he prays. This painting is actually a set of two paintings that depict the same image for the purpose of this
but two distinct works of art that come to mind when one imagines what it would have been like to be present during the momentous event.

Comparison of Da Vinci's and Tintoretto's The Last Supper The two paintings and artists I am going to compare and contrast are "The Last Supper" by Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) and "The Last Supper" by Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594). Although I am not a religious person, the sight of the painting by Tintoretto amazed me for the simple fact that it is so different from "The Last Supper" I grew up with. The first, and most obvious, difference between the two is the color. The work done by da Vinci
painter, and Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance painter, are both known for their paintings of The Last Supper. While both versions of the last supper center around the same biblical event, the artists used techniques such as linear perspective, detail, and shapes to create different messages; one involving the whole idea of Christianity and the other narrowly focusing on biblical story and the sin involved When comparing linear perspective in the two Last Supper’s, da Vinci’s mastery of the technique
Throughout The Da Vinci Code, author Dan Brown employs effective ekphrastic writing in order to convince readers that some of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous works could ultimately lead protagonist Robert Langdon to the famed Holy Grail. However, while always effective, Brown’s use of ekphrasis writing is at times not accurate in order to make the works fit the needs of his plot.
