One of the great triumphs of science in the Renaissance were Leonardo’s botanical studies of plants. Lady with Unicorn (c1480), Lily (1480-5), St Jerome (1480) & St Sebastian (1480-1). St Sebastian was often used as a coded symbol for gay artists.
He also painted the Doni Tondo (1506) & the Manchester Madonna. The Tondo (circular painting) is in the Ufizzi & the unfinished Madonna in the National Gallery in London. Tondo Pitti (1504-5) & Taddei Tondo (1505-6). He loved the Tondo format
Because the work comes from the heart it is also rich in authentic emotion & ideas.
