I introduce a great master Leonardo da Vinci 11 work
①Annunciation
The thing which there is scarcely in the natural world as a characteristic of the Leonardo work appearing nothing. The description of the field of the early spring when symbolic flowers bloom to God without the rays that the pigeon of the spirit of a dead person is mysterious is monopoly of the sharp Leonardo of the plant observation. In addition, this is done with a sign peculiar to Leonardo meaning purity of the Maria because the right Virgin Mary binds the abdomen with golden cloth, and the same expression is seen in "Virgin of the Rocks". In addition, it is delicate description of the chestnut curly hair of the angel, a masterpiece full of the talent of painter around 20 years old including the shading off background that resembled closely in the background of "the Monna Lisa".
②Baptism of Christ
③Adoration of Magi
It is the first masterpiece which Leonardo produced independently from a studio of the Verrocchio. He had a custom to often leave a work for as it is unfinished, but this product applies to it, too.
All the approximate designs are drawn on this draft, and it is the composition that is the most characteristic. The Virgin and Child is drawn beside a screen, and worshiping Three Wise Men are juxtaposed like a line by the front, but Leonardo usually locates 3 doctors in lower right and left in a pyramid type in Virgin and Child in the center of the screen.
④Virgin of the Rocks
The closed space of the cave symbolizes virginity of the Holy Mother, and golden cloth is bound the abdomen of the Holy Mother with as well as initial product "Annunciation" again, and internal purity of the Holy Mother is emphasized because an angel points at it. It may be said that these reflect thought of the no original sin conception that the kindred spirit society that a request is important insists on.
It is the work which can be also known as collected studies of the search of the Leonardo including the triangle composition to assume description by sfumato and the aerial perspective, the minute expression, Holy Mother of the plant a top.
⑤The lady who holds hakuten
⑥Last Supper <before restoration> (top) <after the restoration> (bottom)
He captured the movement of 12 pupils surprised at words of Jesus saying, "there will be a person betraying me in this", and there is a head of yes at a disappearance point of the perspective that is a crossing point of the nature and symbolizes that he is in the world center.
As for this product, damage began at the time that Leonardo lived in from what was described in tempera technique (the thing which mixed flax oil and an egg with a color). It was for about 20 years until 1999 that the scientific repair was finished. I was able to come across the original masterpiece which Leonardo drew as a result that I wrote a dust and a dirt, and ka eno brush was removed. I reproduce before and after restoration to actual size with Sue board, and, in the Otsuka Museum of Art, comparison appreciation is possible.
⑦Saint Anna and Virgin and Child
He left Milan, and, in 1499, the Leonardo returned home in Florence after an interval of 18 years. This work is a sketch of "Saint Anna and Virgin and Child" which were sometimes drawn. The Leonardo showed that I could completely grasp all only by shadow, the reflection that were an effect of the light, the black-and-white light and shade indicating the highlight with this product. It was said that this sketch itself, Leonardo showed finished new technique and sight in a perfect form, and it was not for oil painting. The Holy Mother looking at Christ is drawn with the look that was full of affection, the expression of the smile.
⑧Monna Lisa
The work which it is said to that Leonardo establishes it at hand till the last and added a hand. An opinion to be wife rethe of textile merchant Francesco Dell jokondo of Florence is influential, but, about the model of the statue for women, the opinion not to be the portrait of the actual person is advocated. The Leonardo thought that the natural world did not have the abozzo and shaded off the neighborhood without creating a contour clearly and described this product using sfumato technique to let you melt into it in the background. I describe the life of the earth and the river in the very large scenery of the background and express scenery not to exist using aerial perspective.
⑨Virgin of the Rocks
The gesture that an angel points to the abdomen of the Holy Mother disappears with this work unlike the first product eyes and is assumed when this is because traditional kindred spirit society evaded direct gesture to show the abdomen of the Holy Mother. In addition, because halo and cross, wing above the head were added, I become easy to distinguish the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, the angel, and yes grows up a little, and, as for the second work full of shadow, the Holy Mother is felt, too.
In the Otsuka Museum of Art, I display two pieces of "Virgin of the Rocks" and display it and I compare the difference and can appreciate it.
