EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of allegorical artworks from the 15th century, masterfully created by the renowned artist Leonardo da Vinci. In the top left corner, we are introduced to the "Allegory of the Lizard" a mesmerizing piece dating back to around 1495 and currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. On the top right, we encounter da Vinci's "Allegory of the Mirror and Fighting Animals" crafted between 1492 and 1494, which can be found at none other than the Louvre Museum in Paris. Finally, at the bottom center lies his intriguing "Political Allegory" from 1483-1485, residing within Christ Church Library in Oxford. Each artwork presents its own unique symbolism and mythical creatures such as unicorns and lizards. Da Vinci's meticulous pen-and-ink sketches bring life to these allegories that delve into themes like reflection, power struggles among animals, and political commentary. As one gazes upon this remarkable print collector's item by Leonardo da Vinci himself, they are transported back to Renaissance Italy where art flourished under his genius touch. The inclusion of both male and female figures further emphasizes da Vinci's ability to capture human form with exceptional skill. With each stroke of his pen on paper, Leonardo da Vinci continues to captivate audiences centuries later through these timeless masterpieces that showcase not only his artistic prowess but also his profound understanding of human nature and societal complexities.
