The Virgin of the Rocks by Leonardo da Vinci: One Grotto, Two Paintings, as a Vintage Poster (1483–86)
In a dark grotto of jagged rock, a young woman kneels with one hand on the shoulder of a small boy and the other held open above a second child. An angel in a red cloak points across the scene, water glints in the distance, and wild flowers grow out of the stone. The Virgin of the Rocks is one of Leonardo da Vinci’s most mysterious paintings, and he painted it twice: the first version hangs in the Louvre in Paris, the second in the National Gallery in London. The picture below is our vintage poster of the Paris painting; a detail of the London version is shown further down.
