Leonardo da Vinci’s mysterious masterpiece | DW Documentary

- Leonardo da Vinci's ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ is his most enigmatic painting. And it’s not just the Madonna’s unusual setting that raises questions. Why did he paint not one, but two versions of the work?
Part of the Louvre’s collection in Paris, ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ is a highly mysterious work of art. Why did da Vinci place the Madonna in a cave? What hidden symbolism lies in the unusual background, which does not appear in the Gospels? The film traces these questions through the clues da Vinci himself left in his personal notebooks, known as the Codex Atlanticus.
The artist’s works are always full of significant symbolism and allegory. The journey toward understanding the ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ begins with da Vinci's move from Florence to Milan. It was there that he hoped to embark on larger and more interesting projects. Can answers to this painting’s mysteries be found in Leonardo's career and in interpretations of other works? Or will its secrets remain forever hidden?

Loved watching this documentary since I have a huge fascination with art especially of the Renaissance period.It was great to see the team follow the footsteps of Leonardo in the beautiful landscape and greenery of Italy.Keep making more documentaries regarding art.Thank You❤️.
Imagine me moving to Italy for its amazing history, art and food 20 some years ago and just discovering this awesome part of Leonardo da Vinci's life and I'm around this area of Lecco that I didn't even know existed! Thanks DW! I'm so moved and hyper excited to go these places. 😍
I love the DW channel - interesting topics covered in detail, great to watch! Thanks 👍🏻🤩

Tempat yg luar biasa indah
Interesting docs as always :)
Amazing!
Very interesting
Fascinating! Gunnar Ahmer is mesmerizing.
A masterpiece of a masterpiece...
Thanks for posting
Wow☺️ The Virgin of the rocks my favourite painting of Leonardo Da Vinci ♥️ Beautiful ❤️🥰
I was ready to roll my eyes at the artist who they hired to recreate the 'Virgin of the Rocks' but it was so fascinating and insightful. You could really feel his wonderful passion for the painting. Reading Walter Isaacson's biography, I found his treatment of this painting oddly unsatisfying and incomplete. This documentary is such a great correction.
At the end of the day if this painting is genuine we all know where it will end up
Nice documentary but was surprised to hear 5:00 that a basilica built after 300AD collapsed on the day Jesus was born. 🤔
Another "mysterious work" done by Leonardo da Vinci. It was the same thing for Salvator Mundi
Larga vida al gran..
Leonardo Da Vinci

One day when I was a kid I was with my Mum in the shop at the National Gallery London looking through the posters of artworks.
When we came to this painting I couldn't understand why Mum was so put out, because the gallery assistant had written the title wrongly, and put; _Virgin_ On _The Rocks_ 🙂
Haha I’ll have the same, thanks!
Tell your Mum it could be worse..like ‘Bloody Mary’.😏
Fabulous.
It's still amazing you can create hype around some paintings that they cost more than a Gold bar. Fascinating
It's a Da Vinci.
You don't have to create hype.
It has a MYSTERY. People love a good mystery. Plus, da Vinci made art more realistic. You saw the profile of the lady - art as it was before da Vinci. Flat. Everyone who contributed to the world as we know it today gets a hype.
Nothing unique about a lump of gold.
what if leonardo was just bored that time and we're just wasting our time overanalyzing his works?
Leonardo was never bored.
What if he just used a scratch paper that’s why there’s a small lay out on the background of the painting.
Thank God there was no UA-cam back then, people managed to create marvelous things even in their boredom.
I agree ☝️
Yeah definitely
So how did his drawings end up at Windsor Castle?
Leonardo left them in his will to his pupil Melzi. His son then sold them to a sculpture who sold them to King Charles 2 .
Love it❤️ subscriber from nepal
Thank you!
Isn't the title of the work odd, why not virgin on the rocks?
In fact who gave the title?
Nice documentary, scholars got it all wrong falling prey to 19th centrury genius myths, classifications and localism. The renaissance in Italy was in many cities, not just in Florence. The fact that Leonardo worked in Milan made the renaissance there exciting as well. He did not have a salary so he would move to whereever they would feed and pay him.
The Art speaks when your unable!
2:30 what does the word 'tuscanny(tuscany?)' mean...?
edit+
In Korea Tuscany is called "Toscana" so I was unfamiliar with that word,^^
He was a genius and they are known to be a bit off. Maybe we’re just over analysing it. Leonardo was also known for leaving unfinished work a lot. Who knows, just speculations
The amazing thing about Leonardo da Vinci is that he believed in God his own way by observing nature. You find God in Nature more than you find it in Churchs or Mosques. As always amazing documentary DW. I wish i can watch one of da Vinci's works with my eyes
Which god?
@@theoldtv385 Not the God mentioned on any of the so called "Holy book". I'm talking about the real deal God.
sounds like a plot!!
This artwork is a cosmic drama. Mary as Virgo and the two boys (John and Jesus) are Gemini. One of the boys with the girl is to convey that the same celestial image was interpreted as a hermaphrodite. The cave has a special cosmic meaning, that one of the boys (Jesus) is a reincarnation of the Orion Man (elder Jesus) who moves “underground” from the northwest sky region to the southeast, the region of the stone (also known as the philosopher’s stone, or the Rock that Moses struck) cave and women. With the hidden underlying figures da Vince was conveying the idea that older cosmic ideas were transformed into the new Christian iconography, depicted as Virgin Mary, John, and Jesus.
Amen.
When it all falls down.
👍🏻
I think he time travelled
Nice fantasy painting.
It's the fifth tor
She’s the Bride she’s Christ her name is Lisa just like the Mona Lisa
I've always thought that da Vinci was fiction until I listened to ex - opus dei members
Do you know anything about the hidden symbolism of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings such as "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" and "Virgin of the Rocks"? All the videos on UA-cam only describe the technique and other obvious details. One might mention the rather fanciful suggestion of Sigmund Freud. And that's it! But it is obvious that the Christian subject matter of these works is only the visible layer. What do you think is hidden inside?
The other woman is her daughter and the twins to come later
*Perhaps too many if and buts*
In effetti la vergine che sta e posa sulle rocce e qualcosa di assoluto.

Hinter Grund stimmt auf bei Madonna in fechscht das Licht,
The Massacre of the Innocents is in the nativity narrative of the Gospel of Matthew
Das mit Umgebung von Madonna, Mona Lisa das ist dieselbe Person tepte sie in dunkel in falschen Richtung,,
Ich habe ein Präsent für euch sehen sie das Bild am Bahnhof in Flensburg vo ich einige Jahre gelebt habe 2007 bis 2014, Ich wahr 16,17,18, oder 19 Jahren Alt wenn mir mein lera in den Schule erzählt ein Bild am Bahnhof in Deutschland er hatte nicht gesagt in Flensburg er wollte das ich an in Erinnern ich wusste von Bild aber ich wusste nicht das in Flensburg ist,
You can only wonder about legend-building. The Maxentius Basilica was a Christian basilica which could only have been built AFTER Christianity had been established. (307-313). How could it have collapsed in the night of Jesus' birth? And WHY, for god's sake?
Guidoboni etal. 1994 date that earthquake that probably destroyed the main nave between April 10th and August 31st 847.
It was a legend, and legends are sometimes seriously weird
it's so sad to hear talking about Virgin of the rocks of London as a painting by Leonardo...the only thing by him is the under drawing. There are enormous problems in art history and Leonardo studies
Yes, most of what is “known” about Leonardo da Vinci was written by Giorgio Vasari who had his own agenda. A single source of reference !
At least help my family they haven't done anything wrong forget me
Imagine if he had photoshop back then he would've made a 2nd earth.
Vor allem ist Mona Lisa eine Mutter,
HMmmm, immaculate conception - nice thought, but repeating it by the church (receiving a child by having sex is an original sin etc. ....)doesn't make it more true. More likely, Mary was very young, conceived before she had her first period, which is anatomically possible and so the story was born - most likely after the child.

🎁Truth in plain sight! Leonardo DaVinci Paintings
🦁The birth of the 1st Lisa in 1479 The 2nd Lisa was born in 1979 (500 years between the resurrection servant in the bible and noted in Enoch)
🦁If you calculate this year 2022 minus the year the 1st Mona Lisa died 1542=480 years, the same amount of time from Exodus to the rebuild of the new temple in the Bible. The new temple is her. The 2nd Mona Lisa is the Bride of Christ, Queen of Heaven, Mother, Wisdom, Daughter Zion, Sophia, Ephraim, Isa, Behemoth, Isis, The Female Christ Daughter Zion- The Mona Lisa 2nd
🦁the initials in her eye is her name initials
🦁the V & 5 sceneries are the 5 places the 2nd Lisa has lived in after marriage. 🦁The 12 pins firstly in a shape of a cup represents her surname
🦁secondly around her head in X-ray represents 12 stars just like in Revelation the woman with 12 stars signifying her holiness.
🦁The right hand over the left signifies she is the right hand of God.
🦁She sits between Two columns (Mother and Father)
🦁The number under the bridge 75 is the year she was snatched away Revelation 12:5
🦁She is one of the two witnesses
🦁His other paintings link the Mona Lisa to them as well, the crab sketch represents her star sign Cancer.
🦁The ferret and lady represents what the 2nd Mona Lisa was called as a child.
🦁Portrait of a woman represents her eldest daughter. Her youngest daughter is painted as saint Anne(True Royal Bloodline)
🦁The last Supper shows a chalice cup is her surname.
🦁The twist in her fabric on her shoulder represents Gods humour & twist to the biblical story, savior is female this time.
She came from Christ and Mary Magdalene linage. Christ didn’t die on the cross it was a metaphor for ego death, once you have an ego death you are enlightened and are reborn. Who will come to Christ and find her.

Try to be brief
How odd the catholic's belief on purgatory
Lie and become legendary 😄
Very american. Enough said.
the original sin is the concept of an original sin , because we have to couple to create life and how it is done , those whom came up with this garbage of an original sin is an abomination to life.
Too much reading between the lines, thats all you guys do......analyse this analyse that....Christianity right now is who ever comes up with the most outlandish discription of what their understanding of christianity is.....sculptures & paintings of peofits and their mothers are forbiden.....yet you constantly change the relegion and the bible as you go......
Pray to God Almighty 🙏🙏 Pray to Jesus Christ 🙏🙏 Pray to The Holy Spirit 🙏🙏 Pray to Our Blessed Lady 🙏 🙏 Pray for forgiveness and repent for our sins 🙏🙏
It's Beullshill. There is no virgin in the rock. They want to sell art.and I'm not buying it. Bs
I doubt you could afford it anyways.
It’s just a drawing fam stop making it seems abnormal just cause you want to see something that ain’t there
Why do you watch documentaries on art, then? What are art documentaries supposed to be about if not "just drawings"? And people love a good mystery.
