9. In 1482, he went to Milan, where he
remained in the service of the court of
Ludovico Sforza until 1499. Where he do
painting, portraits, inventing machines of
war, staging theatrical pageants, and
designing town plans and architecture. He
worked as artist and technical adviser on
architecture and engineering, already
displaying his amazing versatility.
10. During his stay in Milan he worked
on a Prancing Equestrian Statue
- a bronze horse intended as
a monument to Francesco Sforza –
Ludovico’s father.
11. Last Supper
- It was also in Milan when he painted
it which was ordered by Ludovico il
Moro for the refectory of the
Monastery of Santa Maria delle

containing oil and varnished for this
painting.
13. In 1499, Leonardo executed a cartoon in Mantua, now in
the National Gallery in London, for painting of the Virgin
and Child and St. Anne.
14. The Virgin and Child with St. Anne and
St. John the Baptist (c. 1499–1500)
15. Mona Lisa (Louvre in Paris)
the wife of Francesco del Goicondo, which Leonardo began
in 1503 at Louvre.
It is precisely, this provocative atmospheric quality that add
so greatly to the ineffable mystery of this famous painting
“Mona Lisa”.
The enigma is heightened further by the famous smile,
which has appeared before in Gandharan art in India, in
Gothic art at Reims Cathedral, and even earlier in archaic
Greek art-wherever in art it would seem, the world of the
real and the world of the ideal made glancing contract. It is
precisely this blend of the real and ideal that adds to the
mystery of Leonardo’s mind and art.
18. The unfinished Adoration of the Magi in the
Uffizi in Florence
The Virgin of the Rocks
Which there are two versions:
-one is on the Louvre in Italy
- and one on the National Gallery in London

21. Analysis and evaluation of Leonardo
and some of his paintings.
Leonardo’s art of expression needs utmost
admiration. This expression was nurtured by his
power of his invention and also by every technical
means:
• Drawing
• Color
• Use of light and shadow
To Leonardo, expression became a key concept of
art; it also included the basic demands of truth,
beauty, and accuracy in everything depicted.

An Italian

age of 84
27. Early Life
When he was yet a child, his mother was die,
leaving his father with five young sons. His father
Lodovico remarried in 1485, about this time
Michelangelo returned to Florence to live in the Sta.
Crose Quarter with his father, stepmother, four,
brothers, and an uncle.
As a boy, Michelangelo cared little for the
traditional Latin and humanistic studies; and his
inclination to draw led his father, despite his scorn or
(disrespect) for art, to enroll him on April 1, 1488 in the
workshop of Dominico Chilandio, the most popular
painter in Florence (Italy). A year later, however,
Michelangelo left in that master to study in the Medici
Gardens near San Marco.
