Melanie Light의

Leonardo Da Vinci는 그가 그의 유년기의 대부분을 쓴 Vinci의 도시의 가까이에 Anchiano에 있는 Tuscan 농가, 이탈리아에 1492년에, 태어났다. 그는 Ser Piero의 아들이고 여아는 그를 위해 작업한 Caterina를 불렀다. Leonardo가 태어난 후에, 부모는 함께 남아 있지 않았다. 단지 최근에 Leonardo의 생모의 세부사항이 공개된다 있으십시오. 2002년에, Alessandro Vezzosi는 Vinci, 이탈리아에 있는 Leonardo Da Vinci 박물관의 지도자 이전에 believed.(1) Vezzosi가 Leonardoâ ™s 아버지는 Caterina이라고€ 지명된 중동 여성 노예를 소유한 공예가이었다는 것을 보고하기 위하여 계속하기 때문에, 그들이 어머니가 노예같은 여아 및€ 시골뜨기 여아 아닙니다인 증거 Leonardoâ 내용이 풍부한 ™s를 찾아냈었던 압박을 말했다. 그리고, 그들의 발견에 따르면, Caterina가 Leonardo를 낳은 후에 약간 달, 그녀는 노동자의 한에게 떨어져 결혼했다.

Leonardo는 Anchiana와 Vinci에서 그가 8 살일 때까지 살았다. 이후에, 그는 그의 아버지와 가진 피렌체로 움직였다. Leonardo가 14살일 때, 그는 피렌체에 있는 유명한 조각가 및 화가의 밑에 Andrea del Verrocchio 도제가 되었다. 저 기간에서는, Verrocchio는 주요한 피렌체 사람 예술가이었다. Leonardo가 21 그리고 23 살 사이에서 일 그 때까지는, 그는 아주 숙련되는 화가가 되었었다. Verrocchio는 Leonardo가 중요한 회화, 그리스도 (Uffizi 화랑, 피렌체)의 세례로 돕는 것을 허용했다. Leonardo는 배경 및 무릎을 꿇는 천사를 그렸다. Leonardo는 잘 보다는 그릴 수 있었다는 것을 Verrocchio가 볼 때 누군가는, 그 자신을 포함하여, 그 이제까지 그를 주었다는 것을 위로 영원히 그리는 보았었다는 것을 말한다. Verrocchio는 그가 조각품에 집중할 것이라는 점을 결정했다.

Leonardo Da Vinci는 동물을 위한 중대한 사랑이 있고 말하고, 그의 전표는 이것을 더 설명한다. 그는 그가 그의 이른 생활에 있는 엄격한 채식주의자이었다) 그의 생활 (우리는 명확한의 후반 부분에서 채식주의자, 적어도 증거가 없다 이었다. He wrote, “The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” He also remarked, “The smallest feline is a masterpiece.”

In the 1480s, Leonardo painted Lady With The Ermine. The Lady in the painting is Cecilia Gallerani, the 17-year-old mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. She carries an ermine for three reasons. First, for the Duke of Milan, having been appointed to the Order of the Ermine by Ferdinand I of Naples, the ermine was the symbol of heraldry on his coat of arms. Second, the ermine was considered to be a symbol of virtue and purity. And finally, it was a play on Cecilia Gallerani’s name since the Greek name for ermine is “galee”.

In Leonardo’s notebooks, he wrote that the ermine eats every other day. Most likely the ermine, an animal related to the sable and weasel, stayed in the studio while the painting was being completed. In the Renaissance period, soft-hair paint brushes were made of ermine tail tips. Brushes were also made from squirrel fur and fastened into goose or hen feathers – another reason the ermine might have been at home in the studio.

Leonardo da Vinci included cats in many of his sketches. On one sheet of animal sketches in his notebook, the artist portrayed more than twenty cats, and one dragon. He drew cats in different poses, alone, with other cats, and being cuddled and held. His sketches are lively and reveal the solemn affection he had for felines.

Throughout the mid to late 1470s, Leonardo worked on a series of different studies relating to the theme of the Madonna and the Christ Child, holding a cat. It was originally thought that no paintings existed beyond his initial studies for these paintings. Recently; however, Madonna with the Cat, which is in the collection of industrialist Carlo Noya in Savona, Italy, was discovered to be a painting by none other than Leonardo.(2) The painting is based on a legend about a cat being born at the same moment as the baby Jesus.

Other sketches for paintings that feature animals and are based on a legend or myth is that of Leda and the Swan. Although no actual paintings exist, there are countless drawings. The story is that Leda was seduced by the God Zeus in the form of a swan and bore two eggs, which resulted in the creation of Helen of Troy with Clytemnestra, and Castor with Pollux.

Although there are countless studies and sketches made by Leonardo, only 13 or 14 actual paintings exist today. One of these is Madonna and Child with St. Anne, painted from 1508 to 1510. The figures depicted all relate to one another, and the baby Jesus is shown tightly holding a little lamb. Da Vinci painted the lamb with sensitivity and detail. The lamb is symbolic of Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death for mankind. Leonardo’s animal subjects are based on reality and are filled with vitality.
