Leonardo
Leonardo one of the most incomprehensible artist of the Renaissance. His paintings are always keep a lot of secrets and "Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" one of them.
We never know the real meaning of this work but we can make conjecture.
That time he was interested in the origin of the Earth.
The figures in the painting form unbroken chain where Saint Anna is the first link of this chain. She is synonymic to the image of Foremather. The Virgin sitting on her knees doesn't seem to notice her. She is like a mythological goddess Gaia (Mother-Earth) and the third figure in this composition is the Child pulling the lamb over his ears. He represent mankind.
