My Da Vinci’s GirlsLeonardo da Vinci is one of my favorites artists ever! So I have this “project” to make a fanart of his muses. I started with the most famous Lisa Gherardini, Cecilia Gallerani, Cecilia Gallerani and Lucrezia Crivelli, but I still will make Ginevra di Benci, Isabella d'Este and Bianca Maria Sforza ;) Lisa Gherardini - The Monalisa! The Mona Lisa (Monna Lisa or La Gioconda) is a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, which has been acclaimed as “the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world." c. 1503 Cecilia Gallerani - The Girl with an Ermine Cecilia Gallerani was the favourite and most celebrated of the many mistresses of Ludovico Sforza, known as Lodovico il Moro, Duke of Milan. She is best known as the subject of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting The Lady with an Ermine (circa 1489). While posing for the painting, she invited Leonardo, who at the time was working as court artist for Sforza, to meetings at which Milanese intellectuals discussed philosophy and other subjects. Cecilia herself presided over these discussions. c. 1489 Lucrezia Crivelli - La Belle Ferronnière Lucrezia Crivelli, La Belle Ferronnière from Da Vinci’s painting. She was a lady-in-waiting to Ludovico Sforza’s wife, Beatrice d'Este. During this time, she also became the mistress of Sforza. In 1497, she gave birth to his son, Giovanni Paolo. Sforza’s affair with Crivelli caused much distress to his wife, who was considered accomplished and cultured. Upon learning of the affair, d'Este tried without success to have Crivelli banished from court. c. 1490 The future Da Vinci’s Girls I’ll make!
