My God... look at those linseed oil wrinkles in the Madonna's face 😱
Madonna of the Carnation (in the video) is supposedly the first and last piece Leonardo da Vinci made with linseed oil before he transitioned to walnut oil.
Most of the Italian Renaissance was painted in Walnut Oil.
NB! David Molesky says “amino acid” in the video but meant to say “fatty acid”.
