Produktinformationen "What the Ermine Saw: The Extraordinary Journey of Leonardo Da Vinci's Most Mysterious Portrait"
"Five hundred and thirty years ago, a young woman sat for her portrait, which was to be painted by a tall, Grecian-nosed artist known as Leonardo da Vinci. Her name was Cecilia Gallerani, and she was the teenage mistress of the Duke of Milan. With shining hair and alabaster skin, and a thin veil framing her delicate features, Gallerani held a white ermine--an emblem of pregnancy and childbirth--close to her breast. Their slender bodies appeared almost as one ... With this beguiling image, da Vinci revolutionized the genre, changing not just what a portrait looked like, but also its purpose ... But despite the work's importance in its own time, no records of it exist during the two hundred and fifty years that followed Gallerani's death. Author Eden Collinsworth illuminates the startling history of this unique masterpiece, as it journeyed for over five centuries from one owner to the next"--Publisher marketing.
