vitruvian man
Vitruvian Man Pen and ink on paper, 34.3 x 24.5 cm (13.5 x 9.6 in), ca. 1490. The drawing which depicts a man in two superimposed positions within a square and circle is named after the architect Vitruvius because it is accompanied by a text which is based on the architect’s work. The Vitruvian Man is held by the Gallerie dell’Academia in Venice, Italy, but it is not permanently displayed. -

the last supper
The Last Supper Tempera on gesso, pitch and mastic, 460 x 880 cm (181 x 346 in), 1495 – 97. The mural represents Jesus and the twelve disciples when Jesus says that one of them would betray him. The painting which covers a wall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, is mainly a later reconstruction because much of it deteriorated relatively soon as a result of Leonardo’s experimentation with tempera and oil on dry wall. -

his works of art
Mona Lisa Oil on cottonwood, 76.8 x 53 cm (30.2 x 20.9 in), ca. 1503 – 06. One of the most famous paintings of all times is a mystery. It is uncertain whether the painting is a portrait of the wife of the Florentine citizen Francesco del Giocondo as traditionally believed, while Mona Lisa’s enigmatic smile remains a subject of speculation. The painting can be seen in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. -
