Ginevra de' Benci

Ginevra de' Benci ~ my kind of picture perfect portrait; mellow hues, golden lights and harvest oranges; a fantastic harmony of light and shadow. You can sense this woman's reality.



Leonardo da Vinci: Ginevra de' Benci, 38 x 36.5cm. c. 1474

Note: the choice of blues and mauve's found at her left (your right) is a perfect example of the contrasting relationship between said colors and the rest of the colors in this portrait.
