One such masterpiece is "The Virgin of the Rocks" by Leonardo da Vinci, created between 1492 and 1508. This ethereal painting transports us to a mystical realm where divine figures are surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes.

With its meticulous attention to detail and enigmatic expression on Saint John's face, it leaves viewers pondering over hidden meanings within its composition. Continuing our journey through time brings us closer to contemporary works like "The Agony in the Garden (Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane)" from 1889. This emotionally charged painting captures Christ's anguish as he prays before his crucifixion—a poignant reminder of sacrifice and redemption. We cannot overlook symbolic representations such as "The Lion of Saint Mark" from 1516, which embodies the evangelist's courage and strength.
