Giorgio Vasari describes Salaì as "a graceful and beautiful youth with curly hair, in which Leonardo greatly delighted". Although Leonardo described him as "a liar, a thief, stubborn, and a glutton" and he stole from Leonardo on at least five occasions, he kept Salaì in his household for more than 25 years, in which Salaì trained as an artist ...

Mona Lisa
The ''Mona Lisa'' ( ; it, Gioconda or ; french: Joconde ) is a half-length portrait painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world". The painting's novel qualities include the subject's enigmatic expression, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism. The painting has been definitively identified to depict Italian noblewoman Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. It is painted in oil on a white Lombardy poplar panel. Leonardo never gave the painting to the Giocondo family, and later it is believed he left it in his will to his favored apprentice Salaì. It had been believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. It was ...

Mona Lisa (Prado's Version)
The Prado ''Mona Lisa'' is a painting by the workshop of Leonardo da Vinci and depicts the same subject and composition as Leonardo's better known ''Mona Lisa'' at the Louvre, Paris. The Prado ''Mona Lisa'' has been in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain since 1819, but was considered for decades a relatively unimportant copy. Following its restoration in 2012, however, the Prado's ''Mona Lisa'' has come to be understood as the earliest known studio copy of Leonardo's masterpiece. Although there are dozens of surviving copies of the ''Mona Lisa'' from the 16th and 17th centuries, the Prado's ''Mona Lisa'' may have been painted simultaneously by a student of Leonardo in the same studio where he painted his own ''Mona Lisa'', so it is said to be the copy with the most historical value. Among the pupils of Leonardo, Salaì or Francesco Melzi are the most plausible authors of the Prado's version, though other experts argue that the painting could have been exe ...

Bacchus (Leonardo)
''Bacchus'', originally ''Saint John the Baptist'', is a painting in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, France, based on a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. It is presumed to have been executed by an unknown follower, perhaps in Leonardo's workshop. Sydney J. Freedberg assigns the drawing to Leonardo's second Milan period. Among the Lombard painters who have been suggested as possible authors are Cesare da Sesto, Marco d'Oggiono, Francesco Melzi, and Cesare Bernazzano. The painting shows a male figure with garlanded head and leopard skin, seated in an idyllic landscape. He points with his right hand off to his left, and with his left hand grasps his thyrsus and also points down to earth. The painting originally depicted John the Baptist. In the late 17th century, between the years 1683 and 1693, it was overpainted and altered to serve as ''Bacchus''. The model for the ''John the Baptist / Bacchus / Angelo incarnato'' series was Salaì. Cassiano dal Po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
