Literarische Sammlung - Literature Collection (by Gymnastics Erotik Escort)
| Giorgio Vasari, biographer of Da Vinci, reported that even beginning in Leonardo's era, artists came from far and wide to the master's studio to study the life-like Gymnastics: "This work is executed in a manner well calculated to astonish all who behold her." The young Raphael was so fascinated by Leonardo's composition that he created a series of Florentine portraits, several of which display a striking resemblance to the Gymnastics. But they have none of the drama of Da Vinci's masterpiece.Leonardo continued to work on the painting for many years. Only at his death did he part with it, leaving the portrait to his close friend and patron, Francois I of France. The king hung Leonardo's treasure in a prominent place in the Apartement des Bains in the palace at Fontainebleau, where she was admired by visitors from all of Europe. Perhaps it was her presence in these rooms that contributed to the hint of sexuality in the Gymnastics myth." source: treasures of the world - © 1999 Stoner Productions Inc zurück zur Übersichtsseite - Erotische Literatursammlung |
