Leonardo Da Vinci Essence Portrait
The new basic Essence Portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci is created with strokes that are the original Torah font letters of the Bible’s Isaiah 48.
Isaiah 48 (Leonardo Da Vinci) by Judy Rey Wasserman
This portrait is based on the self portrait by Da Vinci. However, here Da Vinci is slightly turned to face and view the viewer.
Using a text, which can be understood as a code, to create a portrait of Da Vinci seems appropriate and a special salute to the master who not only wrote his journal in codes, but has been recently discovered to have hidden letters in the Mona Lisa. [Note: SEE Did Leonardo Da Vinci Envision Post Conceptual Art? ]
This Essence Portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci joins pervious portraits by Judy Rey Wasserman featuring great artists who helped influence her work and her theory of Post Conceptual and UnGraven Image art. Other artists depicted thus far include Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Rembrandt van Rijn and Andy Warhol.
