Framed Da Vinci Portraits

Framed Da Vinci portraits art feature depictions of religious figures through the eyes of Leonardo Da Vinci. “St. John the Baptist, 1513-16” is Leonardo’s take on one of Jesus’ closet friends. With tight curling hair, and his hand in the air, John the Baptist seems to be pointing towards heaven, as a warm golden glowing light shines down upon his face and body.

“Detail of the Head of the Virgin, from The Virgin of the Rocks” is a detailed look at the Virgin Mary’s face as Leonardo depicted it from another work of art. Her face is full of curiosity as she looks down, and a slim golden halo surrounds the top of her head signifying her holiness. In a similar fashion, “Study of Christ for Last Supper (detail)” brings the viewer close into the details of Leonardo’s perspective of Jesus’ face, which is full of emotion as he prepares for the crucifixion.
