Document Summary
Michelangelo: we see first time religious figures who don"t wear halos. Pop julius ii - warrior pope (1503-1513) Duke of milan - leonardo"s first patron. Leonardo da vinci, cross-section of the head, showing the ventricles of the brain and mind: onion as a visual metaphor for this. Leonardo did several anatomical dissections: bilateral cutaway of skill, leonardo was first to create a correct dental formula, muscle and skeleton drawings, fetus in the womb - this drawing not particularly accurate. Leonardo enthrones her with the earth itself - she is clearly the dominant figure here. Leonardo da vinci, cartoon for madonna and child with saint anne and the infant. Saint john, 1505-1507, charcoal: combines virgin, and her mother, saint anne - rather unusual, saint anne became a significant figure in religious devotion, immaculate conception - conception without stain. Leonardo da vinci, virgin and child with st. anne, oil on wood, 1503: more transition of hues than geometric figures - soft edges.
