Mona Lisa
Leonardo most famous painting
This is a painting that has through the years continually fascinated art enthusiasts because of the ambiguity of Lisa's expression and the atmospheric illusionism surrounding it. Leonardo is said to have worked on the painting for three years where he moved from Italy and finished it in France where he had been invited by the then king.
The painting can now be seen in Louvre in Paris, France.

- I think Leonardo's paintings are as intriguing (and freaking awesome) as his inventions!

- I've just made a historic presentation about the secret symbolic meaning of the Mona Lisa in Rome. I'm new to Squidoo. I wonder if someone would be willing to "Like" my Lens.

Last supper
Painting of the biblical last supper
There have been many interpretations of the painting over the years but the most famous is the use of the number three. Christians believe Leonardo tried to signify the holy trinity by placing the disciples in groups of three and drawing three windows.

Saint Anne with Virgin Mary and Jesus
Very interesting on this painting is, that Virgin Mary is actualy sitting in st. Annes lap. Another intersting fact is also, that there are three different sketches on the back of the painting. One is horse head, second one is depiction of half a skull and third is a small boy playing with lamb, very similar to Jesus and lamb on the front page.
This painting can also be seen in Louvre in Paris, France.

Holy Infants Embracing
This painitng is related to other Leonardo work, The Virgin of the rocks. The painting was not recognised as his work and was only known as 2a very fine work".
The Virgin on The Rocks
On this painiting Leonardo used technik sfumato (from italian word sfumare - to evaporate like smoke). It shows a very fine shading and transitions from light to dark.
There are two, almost identical Leonardos paintings. One is in National gallery in London while another is in Louvre, Paris.
