The Virgin of the Rocks | Leonardo da Vinci | 1495-1508 Select Size:32" x 48" With no background distractionsAbout the artwork: In the London version of The Virgin of the Rocks, Leonardo da Vinci transforms a sacred encounter into a mysterious vision unfolding deep within a shadowy grotto. The Virgin Mary gathers the infant Saint John beneath her protective arm while the Christ Child raises his hand in blessing and an angel quietly observes beside him. Their gestures and exchanged glances create an intimate circular rhythm, uniting the figures without words.
