Throughout his life, Leonardo embraced opportunities to experiment with materials and explore artistic approaches. Ginevra’s portrait was among his earliest encounters with the medium of oil paint; some wrinkling of the surface shows he was still learning to control it.

The careful observation of nature and subtle three-dimensionality of Ginevra’s face show the new naturalism with which Leonardo would transform Renaissance painting. This was one of the first portraits created in Florence that showed a sitter outdoors.
Some might call this the first psychological portrait. If Ginevra could speak, what might she say? What does Leonardo’s portrait reveal about her personality?

Leonardo da Vinci was a student of Andrea del Verrocchio, the leading Florentine sculptor of the day. This painted terracotta bust depicts the de facto leader of Florence during the High Renaissance, Lorenzo de’ Medici. Machiavelli called him “the greatest patron of literature and art that any prince had ever been.” He supported artists like da Vinci and his contemporaries, Botticelli and Michelangelo.

Here is one last tidbit of information: When Leonardo da Vinci’s “Ginevra de Benci" arrived at the Gallery she was put into an Italian-style frame with a very deep cove. It cast a bumpy shadow across her forehead because the outermost edge was beaded! That frame was also very deep and overpowered Ginevra, so a replacement was purchased from London. Here you can see her in that frame which is 16th-century Cassetta-style. Its shallow profile brings the painting forward and the tonality of the frame compliments our beautiful Ginevra. Do you want to see the back of the painting? Come to the Gallery!

Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Burlington House Cartoon' is one incredible drawing in our collection: http://bit.ly/1v3HsdV Usually, in order to transfer a design onto a panel, the outlines of cartoons were pricked or incised. This example is intact. It must have been preserved in its own right as a finished drawing, although some areas have deliberately been left inconclusive or in rough outline.

Leonardo the artist
While numerous exhibitions have looked at Leonardo da Vinci as an inventor, scientist or draughtsman, this is the first to be dedicated to his aims and techniques as a painter. Inspired by the recently restored National Gallery painting, The Virgin of the Rocks, this exhibition focuses on Leonardo as an artist. In particular it concentrates on the work he produced as court painter to Duke Lodovico Sforza in Milan in the late 1480s and 1490s.As a painter, Leonardo aimed to convince viewers of the reality of what they were seeing while still aspiring to create ideals of beauty – particularly in his exquisite portraits – and, in his religious works, to convey a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.
Works on display
Featuring the finest paintings and drawings by Leonardo and his followers, the exhibition examines Leonardo’s pursuit for perfection in his representation of the human form. Works on display include ‘La Belle Ferronière’ (Musée du Louvre, Paris), the ‘Madonna Litta’ (Hermitage, Saint Petersburg) and ‘Saint Jerome’ (Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome).The two versions of Leonardo’s ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ – belonging to the National Gallery and the Louvre – will also be shown together for the first time. Find out more about the two paintings.
The final part of the exhibition features a near-contemporary, full-scale copy of Leonardo’s famous ‘Last Supper’, on loan from the Royal Academy. Seen alongside all the surviving preparatory drawings made by Leonardo for the 'Last Supper', visitors will discover how such a large-scale painting was designed and executed.
