Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Leonardo da Vinci was born in Vinci, Italy, and is regarded as one of the greatest polymaths in history. Not only was he a painter, but also a scientist, engineer, and inventor. Did you know that many of Leonardo’s works were left unfinished because he was driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge? Despite this, his paintings are among the most famous and influential worldwide.

"The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" (ca. 1501-1519)
"The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" depicts Saint Anne, her daughter Mary, and the Christ Child. Leonardo worked on this painting for several years, and it is now housed in the Louvre in Paris. Interestingly, the intimate, almost familial portrayal of these holy figures was quite unusual for its time.

Take a moment to absorb the harmony of the figures. Do you see how Mary lovingly cradles the Christ Child while Anne sits protectively behind her? The composition radiates deep maternal care and affection. Look closely: the smiles of the figures are subtle, yet full of emotion. Notice the flowing lines that visually connect the three figures – enhancing the sense of unity. The soft, blurred background gives the painting an almost dreamlike quality. Discover how Leonardo masterfully intertwines the divine with the human, showcasing the relationship between the generations in such an intimate way.
