Leonardo da Vinci Geologic Representations in the Virgin and Child with St. Anne - Paperback

by Francesco Filippini (Illustrator), Ann C. Pizzorusso (Author)

Leonardo da Vinci's painting the Virgin and Child with St. Anne, has been the subject of speculation by historians, occultists, art critics, psychiatrists and medical doctors ever since it was painted circa 1501-1517. When Leonardo saw the breathtaking beauty of the Dolomites in northeast Italy in 1500, he found the inspiration for one of his most complex and metaphysical works. Using geology as a tool, author Ann C. Pizzorusso unlocks the symbols and secrets which are hidden in the painting.
