Commissioned in 1483 by the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception in Milan, this prime version of The Virgin of the Rocks (La Vierge aux rochers), housed in the Musée du Louvre, is widely celebrated as the earlier and more expressive of Leonardo da Vinci’s two famous versions. Set inside a mysterious, cavernous rock formation opening out onto serene blue waters and jagged alpine spires, the painting captures an apocryphal meeting between the infant Jesus and his cousin Saint John the Baptist during the Flight into Egypt. Highlighted by the angel Uriel’s enigmatic pointing gesture toward Saint John and Mary’s protective arm, the work marks a turning point in High Renaissance art through Leonardo’s perfection of sfumato—the imperceptible merging of light and shadow—and complex psychological interplay.
