Leonardo da Vinci. La Bella Svelata

The protagonist of the work: The Beautiful Princess, the Leonardo on parchment revealed through the most complete deepening on the clothes and hairstyle of the young lady painted. The research on the costume of the ladies of the Italian and European courts, the definitive journey in the costume of the Renaissance led by Elisabetta Gnignera, specialist in the history of medieval and Italian Renaissance costume and author of numerous essays, with the contribution of Prof. Martin Kemp, Emeritus of Art History at Oxford University and Fellow of the British Academy.

"The synthesis made by the artist performer is extreme and brilliant: if the profile tells us about the nobility of the girl, the shapes and colors of the clothes tell us where maybe she lived and to which family she was close. We had to scroll through letters, compare faces and clothes, have fun and move, to revive a gaze that knows infinity, magnetically catalyzing our attention even after five hundred years, just as the immortal works succeed". Elisabetta Gnignera.
