Created around 1495 as a preparatory drawing and pastel/wash study for the central figure of Christ in The Last Supper (Il Cenacolo), Head of Christ (Testa di Cristo) preserved in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan represents one of Leonardo da Vinci’s most moving sacred works. Leonardo sought to convey the sorrowful dignity and spiritual calm of Christ at the precise moment He announces His upcoming betrayal. Characterized by downcast eyes, soft facial modeling (sfumato), and an introspective, gentle expression, the study reflects Leonardo’s belief that a true portrait must reveal the inner motions of the soul (moti mentali).
