Barbatelli is the first self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci

Wednesday, 28 January, 2009

had been identified as Galileo Galilei, but may be the oldest self-portrait of Leonardo. To make a sensational discovery in a private collection in the region was Barbatelli Nicola, dell'OSMTJ researcher in the course of an investigation entrusted to him by the same order on the presence of the Templars in Lucania. Tutto è cominciato 5 anni fa in Basilicata, dove Barbatelli stava effettuando ricerche su una famiglia nobile di Acerenza, che lo ha portato a individuare conferme della presenza di confraternite di dottrina pitagorica, come le tele di Antonio Stabile. Queste lo hanno condotto al dipinto. «Ho capito subito che non era Galileo – dice Barbatelli – postura del soggetto, stile e tecnica rimandavano all’autoritratto leonardesco degli Uffizi. Questo, però, sembrava antecedente, il soggetto è più giovane di vent’anni. Esami in laboratorio hanno attestato che il dipinto è più antico di quello di Firenze. Ma siamo solo agli inizi, l’attribuzione non è certa e passa per vari esami». Ora allo studio di Alessandro Vezzosi, direttore del Museo Ideale Leonardo da Vinci, il dipinto è stato concesso in comodato al Comune di Vaglio. La presenza di Leonardo in Lucania sarebbe confermata da Vasari. Per l’attribuzione ufficiale occorre aspettare ancora, ma gli esperti escludono possa trattarsi di una copia .Continua

ROMA (1 marzo) - Piero Angela, conduttore del programma Ulisse, ha scoperto un autoritratto di Leonardo da Vinci. È la seconda scoperta del grande genio di Vinci a distanza di poche settimane. Nei giorni scorsi, infatti, scoperto in Lucania, ad Acerenza, da Nicola Barbatelli, a scholar of medieval history, a new portrait depicting Leonardo. It is an oil on board 60x44 cm for which it was initially assumed a dating to the sixteenth century (up to talk about a self-portrait, or another work of Christopher High, author of "Profile of Leonardo," which the Uffizi, oil on panel, 60x45 cm). The work was then entrusted to be investigated and exposed, Alessandro Vezzosi, director of the Museo Ideale Leonardo Da Vinci, who announced the discovery and that, since 1980, has carried out research on the subject of portraits by Leonardo and his presence and its echoes in the South, leading to many discoveries.

As it is usual to think of Leonardo as a personality-eminently Florentine and Tuscan is no doubt that the presence of the artist and his work has greatly contributed, albeit through paths not always linear, the growth of the great masters of the sixteenth century-was Milan , where the artist spent most of his life.

The thick series of pen drawings on the theme of the Madonna with the singular child makes a cat reveals the very good ' entirely new graphic style of Leonardo, which is characterized by a sign intended to evoke rapid and summary rather than to define, the images are likely to continue corrections. In the first drawing of the Virgin is portrayed in three quarters while holding, grabbing a leg, the boy, lying on a trestle, leans dangerously toward the opposite side of the cat trying to disengage from the socket, the strong torsion the bust was completed by the opposite rotation of the head toward the mother, almost wanting to question the reason for this gesture of coercion.

Drawings Leonardo seems to multiply and pursue with great freedom of his imagination, those various possible solutions. It is also here to light a new thought, that of the Virgin suckling the child. It is unknown if this series of studies for the Madonna of the cat ever landed in a painted version, or at least, it seems that this series of paintings in reality constituted the first step in the Benois Madonna , where the why the cat was replaced with that of the flower in the hands of tight mother, to which the child reaches out. The entire series of these studies is very close to a first idea of \u200b\u200bcomposition because of the Benois Madonna .

The painting, whose provenance is known about very uncertain, named after the family that was long in the nineteenth century and that the owner sold it in 1914 Museum russo. Stretta è la parentela che questo disegno dichiara , sia nello stesso grafico con gli studi per la Madonna del gatto, che tennero occupata la mente dell'artista negli ultimi anni del soggiorno fiorentino,venendo tra l'altro a dare conferma della datazione alta generalmente accolta per il dipinto.
Evidente la scarto che la Madonna Benois rivela rispetto alle versioni del tema.
Il dipinto presenta importanti novità anche sotto il profilo compositivo, le due figure sono saldamente unite,al centro del dipinto i nodi più significativi sono:l'incontro con le mani e quello delle teste.

The work was completed only after 1506, the date of return of Leonardo in Lombardy, and that he would also sought the collaboration of Ambrogio de Predis . Ambrogio de Predis would then run one of the two panels with angel musicians flanking the Virgin of the Rocks, the one with the Angel in red, lute player, in which there can be no reflection of a Leonardo. The other table with the angel in green, viola player but is strongly geared to the language of Leonardo's, (some scholars linked to a student of master Francesco Napoletano).

The first documented presence in the French royal collections dating back to 1625, when Cassiano del Pozzo saw him in Fontanebleau in the gallery of pitture.Ancora was not clear how il dipinto giunse in Francia, tra le ipotesi più accreditate vi è quella che sia stato sequestrato dai francesi in seguito all'invasione di Milano ( dal sovrano Luigi XII nel 1499, oppure che sia stato donato da Ludovico il Moro all'imperatore Massimiliano in occasione del matrimonio con la nipote Bianca Maria Sforza nel 1493. Sembra comunque che si trovasse in Francia già nel secondo decennio del Cinquecento La vergine delle rocce francese è un'opera fortemente legata all'esperienza fiorentina di Leonardo. Il dipinto trae ispirazione dall'episodio, tramandato dai Vangeli apocrifi, secondo cui la sacra famiglia, durante la fuga in Egitto, avrebbe cercato rifugio in una grotta dove avrebbe ricevuto la visita di San Giovannino, rimasto orfano dopo the death of Elizabeth. Central is in fact the figure of French painting in St. John which converges on the participants' attention to the sacred scene: angel pointed out that the gaze to the viewer, is shown kneeling in adoration to the Virgin, which protects him accepting it in its mantle, an allusion to the frailty of the human race in need of divine protection In addition to the emphasis put on the figure of St. John the Baptist,

It is believed that the painting has not been part of the core works donated in 1618 by Cardinal Federico Borromeo Ambrosiana, as it is registered for the first time only in 1671, by Agostino Santagostino which lists it as "portrait a doctor, "by Leonardo.Solo after the restoration carried out in 1905 by Louise Cavanagh, who has highlighted the detail of the hand with a scroll of music, hidden by a repainting.

La Belle Ferronnière Leonardo da Vinci,
1490-1495 olio su tavola , 63 × 45 cm Parigi,
Musée du Louvre
@@@@

Nella Belle Ferronière, l'artista porta a pieno compimento quanto precedentemente sperimentato in campo ritrattistico, riuscendo a cogliere con grande naturalezza e apparente disinvoltura l'attimo in cui la figura femminile ruota la testa verso lo spettatore e volge quasi impercettibilmente lo sguardo alla sua sinistra, come attratta a voice-over, without giving his firm set in space. The absence of hands, hidden from the railing, leads to focus on the model's face and eyes, eye-catching with hypnotic force. The great charm of the painting is given to the masterful use of light, and the way to lighten the shadow of the neck with a glare of light that seems to emanate from the gilded parts of the series. the artist reveals a great skill, derived in part from studies conducted in those same years on optics and refraction of light in manuscript C of the Institut de France, dating from around 1490.

Si ritiene che la dama qui ritratta sia identificata in Cecilia Gallerani, amante di Ludovico Sforza. Alla sua identità alluderebbe in chiave simbolica l'ermellino che tiene in grembo:riecheggia infatti il cognome della donna e la bestiola usata frequentemente come emblema di Ludovico. Grande evidenza è data all'ermellino nel dipinto, la sua perfetta conformazione cranica, la morbida consistenza della, pelliccia, il verso in cui è orientato pelo.Nessuno except for the Leonardo, would have known tredurre in visual terms the physical and instinctual predator dell'animaletto, so alert and ready to hunt their prey, even in its heraldic position sinuous dell'ermeldino enhances dignity, in the epigrammatic form ' entire composition.

Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, 1495-1498 tempera and oil on plaster, 460 x 880 cm Milan, Church Santa Maria delle Grazie

The tight control exercised by Ludovico Sforza in the nineties on the Dominican complex of Santa Maria delle Thanks to his will-where, since 1492, was begun the construction of a new stand, on a design by Bramante, for a ducal mausoleum where they buried the duke and his wife, and the presence of


ducal insignia del Moro in central lunette above the Last Supper (the lunettes were rediscovered only in 1854) make it very likely that the Board of Leonardo's great mural in the refectory, although not documented, had come Luovico from the Moor. A confirmation of this appears to come from a letter June 29, 1497 the Secretary Marchesino bar where the Moro calls to ask why Leonardo finisca l'opera del refettorio.

Molte sono le testimonianze del rapido degrado cui andò incontro il soggetto dipinto nei decenni immediatamente successivi alla sua realizzazione, in parte dovuto alla tecnica di Leonardo che anzichè adottare quella del -buon fresco- che necessitava di tempi di esecuzione più rapidi, preferi impiegare una tempera arricchita da velature ad olio





L'immagine del Cenacolo si presenta fortemente condizionata dai molti restauri cui l'opera è stata sottoposta ( almeno otto quelli documentati compreso l'ultimo durato oltre vent'anni a partire 1977 to 1999) and that have changed in the original part. Above the heads suffered heavy alterations in setting and intensity of expression. It is confirmed by comparison of the heads of the apostles paintings and drawings in pencil and color pencil-size in a few sheets stored in Strasbourg.

St. Anne, the Virgin and Child
Leonardo da Vinci, c.
1508 oil on canvas, 168 × 112 cm
Paris, Louvre Museum .
@ @ @ @

The painting, which remained unfinished in some parts-such esempio nel drappeggio che copre le gambe della Vergine- fu, con ogni probabilità, eseguito negli anni del secondo soggiorno milanese e portato da Leonardo con se in Francia, dove venne visto nel 1517 da Antonio de Beatis . Incerta è la vicenda successiva : forse acquistato dal re Francesco I.
In questo dipinto, Leonardo, finge un Cristo Bambino che, uscendo quasi dalle braccia della mamma prende un agnellino (animale immortalato) nella passione di Cristo.
la naturalezza delle figure, e la loro tenerissima dolcezza espressiva sono enfatizzate da un senso di morbido avvolgimento atmosferico: le figure immerse nell'aria luminosa circostante sembrano dissolversi in essa grazie anche alla gamma cromatica molto tenue che si accorda perfectly with the blue-gray tones of the backdrop

La Gioconda or Mona Lisa came into the myth, since the mid-nineteenth century, as the embodiment of an ideal of female beauty that was accorded almost fetishistic admiration, and then become in the twentieth century the subject of fierce derision and outrageous distortions, La Gioconda is in many ways still shrouded in mystery. Contains no documentary confirmation, yet difficult to disprove, is the identifier of the character portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of the silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo.
