Dr Robert Bohanさんのイラストまとめ

He died in 1519, aged 67. In his will he left much of his estate to Melzi & to Salai. These two men had supported & loved him in life. Leda (nd), Nude (nd) & Salai as John the Baptist. The latter is a surprisingly erotic image for an old master (I’ve censored the ‘proud’ organ)

He was in Rome 1513-6 & had a good relationship with the Pope & met with the French King. He entered the King’s service in 1516, & was given a Manor House & a pension. Woman (1508), Embryo (1509-14) & St John (1510-15). The latter was based on Salai, his lover.

The Madonna of the Yarnwinder is on long term loan to the National Galleries of Scotland .@NatGalleriesSco This small image has a palpable charisma & is a wonderful work.

In 1503 he created a preliminary study (a cartoon) for the Battle of Anghiari for the city hall in Florence. It was not used. Isabella d’Este (1500), Salvator Mundi (attributed, c1500) & Madonna of the Yardwinder (attributed, 1501)

Adoration of the Magi (1481-2) with sketches for the work. He was painstaking when working on an image. Much research was done, sketches made & unique paint created. Such preparation & experimentation meant that works were often unfinished, were lost or completed by others.

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 by gay artists.

By May 1890 Vincent moved to N France to Auvers-Sur-Oise, under the care of Dr Gachet. Two of his last landscapes are the ominous Wheatfield under Thunder Clouds & Wheatfield with Crows. They echo his mental state & struggle (he said they represented his sadness & loneliness)
