Leonardo da Vinci

How Leonardo da Vinci Created Narratives in His Paintings

Leonardo da Vinci paints The Virgin on the Rocks – the most complex Madonna image of the entire Renaissance. But, after a disagreement over money, he withheld the painting. Meanwhile, Leonardo forms his own studio in Milan and finally begins getting commissions from Ludovico Sforza, including a portrait of a young woman who had caught his eye Cecilia Gallerani – or Lady with an Ermine.
