Burlington House Holy Family Chen Chu Han 1003943



This is the artwork that belong to Leonardo Da Vinci.
The Artwork name as Madonna and Child with St Anne and the Young St John 1507-08
It is Using Charcoal with white chalk heightening on paper, 141,5 x 106 cm
National Gallery, London.

From my opinion through this artwork,I can feel the harmony of a family.
I can feel that through the colors of the artwork.The color is more base on warm color.
Warm color can bring out harmony.Beside that,I also see the harmony of a family through their action.
The women in the artwork is hug a child and another child is rely on her.Another women is stand beside her.
Is that any relationship between the two women in the artwork and what is that?
We can straight focus on the center when we see the artwork in the first sight because they all had been placed in the same area.The finger of the one of the women is point up.I think that had some meaning about it.

  1. Anne is the mother of Mary, so we have three generations, but it has been psychoanalysed in Leonardo's life as a confusion for the young boy because he was raised by his aunt,(if I recall correctly). So he was not sure who his mother was. But what is interesting of course is the absence of the father in these madonna and child images.
