Painting Description
''Madonna Litta'' is a late 15th-century painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci and his workshop. Created around 1490-1491, the artwork is a devotional piece that depicts the Virgin Mary nursing the infant Jesus, a subject known in Christian art as the Madonna Lactans. The painting is named after the Litta family of Milan, who once owned it.
The ''Madonna Litta'' is executed in tempera on canvas, a medium that was less common for Leonardo, who typically painted in oil. The painting measures 42 cm × 33 cm (16.5 in × 13 in) and is renowned for its exquisite detail, tender emotion, and the masterful depiction of the subjects. The Virgin Mary is shown looking down at the Christ Child with a serene and protective gaze, while the infant looks directly at the viewer, a gesture that invites engagement and reflection.
The attribution of the ''Madonna Litta'' to Leonardo has been a subject of scholarly debate. While some experts believe that the painting was primarily executed by Leonardo himself, others suggest that it was produced by his workshop with possible contributions from the master. The stylistic elements, such as the delicate rendering of the faces and the intricate modeling of light and shadow, are characteristic of Leonardo's style and suggest his involvement in the painting's creation.
Currently housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the ''Madonna Litta'' is a significant work within the oeuvre of Leonardo da Vinci. It exemplifies the artist's interest in the themes of motherhood and the humanizing portrayal of sacred figures, which were revolutionary at the time and contributed to the development of Renaissance art. The painting continues to be admired for its beauty and for the insight it provides into the artistic practices of Leonardo and his contemporaries.
