The Virgin and Child, Saint Anne and St John the Baptist after Leonardo da Vinci
About the Item
A pencil, chalk and crayon drawing of the Virgin and Child with St Anne inspired by the 'cartoon' of Leonard da Vinci currently held in the National Gallery London.
An elegant and charming stylised drawing after the work by D Vinci. The artist has used his own technique of pencil and crayon sketching to a give a vivacity to the composition which he has then heightened with white chalk. The work has a familiarity but Ducel has given the features his own interpretation as he has with the children giving them a slightly cheeky and mischievous aspect. He has therefore changed the interpretation of the whole work to something less serious and more amusing. He has also used a yellow ground paper which again adds to the liveliness and interest of the whole composition.
The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Saint John the Baptist, sometimes called The Burlington House Cartoon, is a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci. The drawing is in charcoal and black and white chalk, on eight sheets of paper that are glued together. Because of its large size and format the drawing is presumed to be a cartoon for a painting. No painting by Leonardo exists that is based directly on this cartoon, although the drawing may have been in preparation for a now lost or unexecuted painting commissioned by Louis XII. The drawing is the only extant larger-scale drawing by the artist.
The drawing depicts the Virgin Mary seated on the thigh of her mother, Saint Anne, while holding the Christ Child as Christ's young cousin, John the Baptist, stands to the right. It currently hangs in the National Gallery in London.
It was executed either around 1499–1500, at the end of the artist's first Milanese period, or around 1506–1508, when he was travelling back and forth between Florence and Milan. The majority of scholars favour the latter date, although the National Gallery and others prefer the former.
