Show Notes
This episode will examine Leonardo's groundbreaking portrait of a young Florentine woman named Ginevra de' Benci, which is the only painting by the great Renaissance genius in the Americas. Exquisitely conserved, despite it being cut down, it is one of the earliest examples of a 3/4 frontal pose in Italian portraiture.
