Leonardo´s women and Divine Proportion

Look this very modern Gioconda, what´s your opinion about? I think that´s better, you can appreciate the regular proportion of her features and the beauty of her profile with short  hair.

Leonardo da Vinci´s birthday

Reading Saatchi Gallery´s profile in Facebook, I´ve remembered that today is Leonardo´s birthday who was born on 15 April 1452.
To know Leonardo`s work is to love him. His life was long and full of experiences and knowledge, authentic passion by sciences and life.
But you haven´t to forget his side as artist. Engravings are delicate and gorgeous. If I  have to choose one of them,at once  I think of "STUDY FOR THE HEAD OF LEDA" (1505).
