Madonna of the Rocks, Virgin Mary, Jesus, John Travel Mug
Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential Renaissance man; painter, sculptor, inventor, anatomist, and visionary; wasn't just a master of artistic technique, but a genius who bridged the gap between art and science. Born in 1452, his insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge led him to dissect corpses, study the flight of birds, and dream of flying machines centuries before their time. --- One of his most captivating works, though shrouded in some mystery, is the second version of "Madonna of the Rocks." Painted around 1508, it resides in the National Gallery, London. Here, amidst the cool shadows of a grotto, unfolds a sacred scene. --- The Virgin Mary, draped in robes of sapphire blue, kneels in reverence. Her downcast eyes and gentle expression speak of quiet devotion, casting a soft light upon the Christ child nestled in the centre. Young Jesus, bathed in this ethereal glow, reaches out with a gesture of blessing towards his cousin, John the Baptist. ---- John, a mere boy, kneels beside Jesus. Clad in the rough skins of an animal, a small staff topped with a cross held loosely in his hand, he looks up at Jesus with a knowing gaze. His other hand offers a bowl filled with clear water, a subtle hint of the role he will play in the future. --- Behind John kneels an angelic figure, their presence a whisper of the divine. Dressed in vibrant crimson and emerald robes, the angel gestures towards John, creating a silent conversation between the figures. Perhaps they are guardians, watching over these holy children entrusted to their care. --- The air hangs heavy with an otherworldly serenity. Sunlight filters through unseen cracks in the rocky cliffs that form the backdrop, illuminating a world of lush plants and cool grotto pools. The scene is one of quiet contemplation, a tender moment suspended in time between these holy figures. Though interpretations may vary, one thing is certain: Leonardo da Vinci's "Madonna of the Rocks" is a captivating portrayal of faith, innocence, and the sacred bonds that tie humanity to the divine.

Travel/Commuter Mug, 444 ml
Very happy with both the quality of the print and travel mug itself. Was hesitant being from NZ that the item wouldn't arrive in time for Father's day given the shipping guidelines, but it took only 5 days to arrive - 2 days before estimated delivery. Highly recommended. .
