Leonardo, Adoration of the Magi
A moment in Christian story when Christ has just been born and three kings from the east, guided by the star of Bethlehem, come to Mary and offer Christ three gifts: frankincense, myrrh, and gold.발음듣기
Which revealed to us here, is Leonardo's working method Not only his brilliant drawing, but the way which he constructs figures.발음듣기
Remember, that Leonardo is first and foremost not a painter, he's really a scientist, an engineer.발음듣기
When he paints clothed figures, he's understanding the skeletal structures, the musculature of the body.발음듣기
If you look to the group of figures to the right, about midlevel you see a figure that almost looks like a skull, as if literally Leonardo reconstructs the bones, before he put flesh on them, before he put clothes on them, before he adds colors.발음듣기
We have Mary and the Christ child, front and center, forming a pyramid shape together with the Magi in front.발음듣기
That's the shape that we see very often in paintings of the high Renaissance that provides a stable form.발음듣기
At the upper right, there is a battle of 2 horses rearing up at the upper left, a fragment of a classical architecture. the wonderful steps and perfect linear perspective.발음듣기
She's glancing across the top of her son's head down his arms, he 'picks up' her glance and brings her eye down until it is met by the Magi who's offering a gift.발음듣기
From the bridge of her nose, across her shoulders, picked up by the kneeling figure at the left.발음듣기
Interestingly, it is not simply a triangle, but a pyramid that comes forward as it moves down.발음듣기
In the existing space, I'm struck by Leonardo's attention to all of the human reactions to the situation.발음듣기
It reminds me to the Leonardo's Last Supper, Christ in the middle forming the pyramid with his outstretched arms, the chaos and reactions of the apostles.발음듣기
It is a characteristic of the High Renaissance: a notion of balance, perfection, eternal.. and also how we as human reacts.발음듣기
A visual glue that creates harmony between forms within the paintings brings things together and keeps the painting from the sense of isolation which is the characteristic of the early Renaissance.발음듣기
Instead of figures being defined by lines, the figures are enveloped in atmospheric haze or softness, smokiness.발음듣기
It makes them to emerge out of the darkness into light, then fade back into the darkness again.발음듣기
Leonardo unifies the figures in the pyramid composition through their glances and gestures, but also through that smoky atmosphere.발음듣기
