The subject of this painting is Ginevra de Benci, the daughter of a wealthy Florentine banker. It was believed to have been commisioned at the time of her marriage. This painting is considered significant for a number of reasons. For one this is one of the first paintings in which da Vinci experiments with oil as a medium. The painting also shows techniques that would later become staples in his work, in particular naturalism, which is notable in the soft and gradual shadows of the work. Unfortunately the panel has been cut by a few inches which has removed her hands.

The Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, is one of Leonardo da Vinci&#039;s best known works. It is believed to be the portrait of Lisa Gverardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo. However, there is speculation as to the identity of the sitter. Some even speculate that it is really a portrait of the artist himself. The work is also known for the warm color scheme and the composition, which is done in true to life.

This piece is also known as The Benois Madonna. It was completed in 1478 and is oil on canvas. The painting is notable for its depiction of the relationship between mother and child. There is interaction between the two figures which greatly humanizes them and yet the halos remind us who the figures are.

This painting is also known as The Litta Madonna after its last known owner Antonio Litta. The painting, which is tempera on canvas, was completed between 1490 and 1491 and was likely produced in Milan. The painting is considered to be the first indication of the what would be the High Rennaissance. It symbolizes motherhood and motherly love, through the image of the Virgin and Christ. The composition of the piece is simple and balanced by its symmetry (most noticeably in the windows).

This oil on canvas painting from 1858 is the only painting that Morris completed. The model in the painting is Jane Burden who became his wife in 1859. The inspiration for this painting came from Thomas Malory&#039;s &#039;Morte d&#039;Arthur&#039; (1485). The figure in the painting is supposed to be Guinevere (the painting is also known by that name). The name Iseult, however, refers also to the the legend of Tristan and Isolde.
