This work is better than the Mona Lisa... before 1911 la Gioconda was not a famous painting at all till it was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 and only recovered in 1913..during that time the painting got a lot of attention in the news papers... that's why it became famous more, the Mona Lisa is in France, at the lady with the Ermine is not in France...and that makes a huge difference
That is not an ermine. An ermine is typically 23-31 cm in length including it's 5.4-8.5 cm tail. They are very slightly built with a maximum weight of around 110g. In this portrait, Cecilia Gallerani is holding a large male albino ferret.
Approx 21.5 inches by 15.75 inches. One striking detail is how small her mouth is. Typically, the width of a person's mouth lines up with the centers of the eyes above. So the proportions here show a real delicacy.
@elderly poodle - Taxidermy is the art of preserving an animal's body via mounting (over an armature) or stuffing, for the purpose of display or study. Animals are often, but not always, portrayed in a lifelike state. The word taxidermy describes the process of preserving the animal, but the word is also used to describe the end product, which are called taxidermy mounts or referred to simply as "taxidermy". The word taxidermy is derived from the Greek words taxis and derma. Taxis means "arrangement", and derma means "skin" (the dermis).The word taxidermy translates to "arrangement of skin". Taxidermy is practiced primarily on vertebrates (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and less commonly on amphibians) but can also be done to larger insects and arachnids under some circumstances. Taxidermy takes on a number of forms and purposes including hunting trophies and natural history museum displays. Museums use taxidermy as a method to record species, including those that are extinct and threatened, in the form of study skins and life-size mounts. Taxidermy is sometimes also used as a means to memorialize pets. A person who practices taxidermy is called a taxidermist. They may practice professionally, catering to museums and sportsman (hunters and fishermen), or as amateurs (hobbyists). A taxidermist is aided by familiarity with anatomy, sculpture, painting, and tanning. Source : Wikipedia
No you can find leonardo’s sketches from while he was making this painting- he liked to study the anatomy of animals- he used a bear like skull and dog paws as references for the ermine. It was all made with his own brain. Very cooool.
Ldvic was known as "the moor" so making him a member of the ermine was an attempt to whiten him??? The ermine was also a sign 9f virtue, so by handling the ermine in the way she does she has "tamed"/conquered Leonards vertue? I love this 0a8nting on soo many levels. It is da Vincent s joker sense of humor laid out 8n 0ka8n v8ew?
Cecilia Gallerani managed to make a success of her life in an age and a place that treated women as chattels with no rights. Check out her Wikipedia page.

This is so cool! Seeing a technical digital analysis of a painting!!
I really want to see this painting irl but I don’t ever see myself making it to Poland. It’s definitely my favorite of his paintings
Very good documentation! 🤩
THIS is my FAVORITE picture ever.
Don't know why I was having goosebumps while watching this.
Oil on wood, painted in 1490, nowadays one of Poland's national treasures in the Czartoryski museum Krakow
What a wonderful and informative explanation!
My favourite!
Very beautiful video once again~

my favorite too; should have left the steel blue background. Maybe yopu can get that back
Along with its actual provenance 😏😏
Gorgeous! The ermine looks quite tame. Was it a taxidermy?
It's suggested it's not even real
