Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was the first portrait, and at the time of his creation, he was still an apprentice in the studio of Andrea da Verrocchio. Although the painting, created between 1475 and 1480, was an early experiment with oil paint, the young Leonardo da Vinci had shown his astonishing mastery of the medium. The stunting naturalism of the curls and skin was reflected in the blending treatment, in which he dipped his fingers into wet pigment to soften the brushstrokes; the brown leaves were initially bright green. The original drawing board has been cut, and the work once had the arms and hands of the model.
"The Woman Holding the Sable"
It depicts cecilia Gallelani, a noble and quiet-looking character, who is the mistress of the Duke of Dovigo Sfsa in Milan and is highly favored. The painter uses light and shadow to set off Cecilia's elegant head and feminine face, and the sables with lustrous coats and realistic shapes in his arms make the picture vivid. The sable takes its symbolic meaning here and becomes his personal embodiment, and Leonardo da Vinci's portraits are truly both physical and divine and are respected by the world.

The Early Mona Lisa – The Aylworth Mona Lisa
Many have pointed out that there was a younger version of the Mona Lisa because when Da Vinci left Italy in 1506, the portrait of his wife Lisa Giacondo commissioned by the wealthy merchant Jacondo to be completed. Leonardo da Vinci still delivered the painting to Jacondo, who had to accept an unfinished work. The Mona Lisa at the Louvre is likely to have been completed by leonardo da Vinci in France in 1516.
Mona Lisa Without Smiling
Some people say that the Louvre painting is not the Mona Lisa, but the one that appears on the wall of the British apartment. The reason is that after the Mona Lisa was completed, the work remained in Lisa de Zogon. Later, another nobleman asked Da Vinci to paint a portrait of his mistress, a woman known as "La Jo Conda" (meaning "smiling man"), who resembled the Mona Lisa. So, a momentary lazy Da Vinci replaced the face of the Mona Lisa with La Jo Conda. After the painting was completed, the nobleman abandoned Rajo Conda and did not buy the painting. Later da Vinci went to France at the invitation of Francis I and brought the painting with him.
In 1984, the Bertrand Art Museum in Maine received "The Mona Lisa Without Smiling", which was determined to be indeed the handwriting of Da Vinci that year, and the characters in the painting resembled the Mona Lisa herself except for not smiling. Experts speculate that the "Mona Lisa Without Smiling" may have been a manuscript drawn by the author at the same time.
Madonna Lita
The Savior
The painting, once known as the male mona Lisa, was completed around 1500 AD, and the two paintings also bear great similarities in composition and style. "The Savior" is currently the only leonardo da Vinci in circulation in the world. In 1958, The Savior was auctioned at Sotheby's in London, but was considered a replica, so it sold for just £45. It wasn't until 2007 that experts at the Restoration Center of the New York University School of Fine Arts began to restore and identify The Savior, and it was finally determined that the painting was indeed by Leonardo da Vinci.
The angel announces the good news
Our Lady of Benois
In this painting, the painter uses the design of two round arched windows at the top to direct the viewer's attention to the Virgin Mary and the Infant Jesus sitting on a bench. The Virgin, in the center-left position, held the unclothed Child in her arms, holding him in one hand, and holding a flower in the other hand, reaching out to take the flower with her right hand, while reaching out with the other hand to grasp the mother. Thus, the action of playing with flowers constitutes the theme of the whole painting, and the vertical central axis of the picture is impartial and just passes through the three hands and the place where they are slowly interlaced, becoming the center point of the whole painting. Maria wears a delicate fluttering blue robe with a red dress and exposed red sleeves; She pinned a brooch to her chest and carefully braided her fluffy curls. In this painting, the care and gesture between the Virgin and the Child are dissolved in the inner world of the painting, and the intimacy and homogeneity they exude are difficult for the viewer to take their attention away from them.
Mona Lisa
The Last Supper
The Last Supper is a fresco painted for the dining room of the Convent of Santa Maria in Milan, based on the most important stories of the Bible, and has been depicted by many religious painters before Leonardo da Vinci. But before that, all painters had a common feature in their treatment of pictorial art images: that is, judas was separated from the disciples, painted across the table, in a position of isolation and judgment. This is because painters cannot express the complex emotions of people's hearts, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil from the image. Because Leonardo da Vinci has made in-depth observation and research on the image and psychology of people, he can gain insight into the subtle psychological activities of characters from their actions, postures and expressions and show them. This fresco showing the scene of Jesus' final meeting with the disciples before his arrest, the ingenious composition and the ingenious business layout make the hall on the picture closely linked with the architectural structure of the dining room in life, and the picture occupies the entire wall of the monastery canteen hall, making the viewer feel as if the scene in the painting is happening in front of him.
The Baptism of Christ
The Mother of Carnations
The Virgin mary wore dark blue dress, plus a red dress with red sleeves, a golden cloak, and a brooch pinned to the chest. The Virgin took the Holy Child in her arms, holding him in one hand and a carnation in the other. The Holy Child was reaching out to grab the carnation. According to legend, pink carnations are the tears of sadness left by the Virgin Mary when she saw the crucifixion of Jesus, and carnations grew where the tears fell, so the pink carnation became a symbol of immortal maternal love. The red carnations symbolize the blood of martyred Christians and seem to foreshadow what will happen to the Holy Child. There is a vase of flowers in the foreground of this painting, and the elbow of the Virgin almost touches the vase. Savarius was convinced that the painting was an apprenticeship between Leonardo da Vinci and Verrocchio, and that the Virgin Mary had the hallmarks of Verocchio's workshop—a pale, Nordic face, blond curls, and eyes looking down. The most emblematic of Leonardo da Vinci is the view of the Virgin's back through the loggia, a row of rugged, interlaced peaks.

St. John the Baptist
This is also one of Leonardo da Vinci's famous paintings. The painting is based on a character from the Bible: John the Evangelist, at the behest of God, will baptize Jesus, and when he scoops up the holy waters of the Jordan River to baptize Jesus, the sky suddenly opens up, and a dove-shaped Holy Spirit appears in the opened sky. From then on, John followed Jesus' sermon and was named "St. John the Baptist." On the dark background, John the Baptist's upper body is exposed, while his entire body is submerged in darkness, exposed only from his right shoulder to his arm, face, right hand, and looming left hand. John the Baptist, whose hair was long, like a young shepherd, held the cross in one hand and pointed to the sky with the other, a sly and mysterious smile on his face. Although the painting is a traditional subject, the depiction of people and backgrounds has never been seen before. In fact, John the Baptist pointed to the kingdom of heaven in the vast darkness, revealing the bitterness and wandering in the painter's heart at this time.
Our Lady of the Rocks

The Virgin and Child rested in the cave under the protection of the archangel, there is a sense of security; the choice of the cave as the background, originated from the ancient Florentine quarry Mayano in Leonardo da Vinci's memory, the deep meaning of the cave is the cave where the saint was born in religious legends, the connotation of darkness and light, that is, the glory of God is transformed into man and his suffering with the Virgin and Child as the carrier, so that the divine light penetrates the darkness and illuminates the world.
