Leonardo Da Vinci depicted the Madonna with a Flower at a young age. At this time his paintings were influenced by the work of Verrocchio, who was his teacher. This is the artist’s first independent work. A contemporary noticed an expressive detail. Da Vinci depicts a decanter of water. He was able to convey the sweating water as realistically as possible. This is a real find of the painter. The crystal vase with delicate flowers suggests that the heroine is pure and innocent. The Virgin Mary is before us.

Description of Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting "Madonna and Carnation"
Leonardo Da Vinci depicted the Madonna with a Flower at a young age. At this time his paintings were influenced by the work of Verrocchio, who was his teacher. This is the artist’s first independent work.
A contemporary noticed an expressive detail. Da Vinci depicts a decanter of water. He was able to convey the sweating water as realistically as possible. This is a real find of the painter. The crystal vase with delicate flowers suggests that the heroine is pure and innocent.
The Virgin Mary is before us. She is truly beautiful. Her facial features are truly perfect. The hair of wavy brown hair is impressive. It is she who gives the heroine innocence and charm. The painter pays maximum attention to the outfit. The sumptuous garments of expensive fabric impress with their magnificence.
In the arms of the Virgin we see Christ. The child stretches out his hands to the flower his mother is holding. This gesture had an important meaning. It suggests that the child is completely innocent and at the same time foreshadows the crucifixion that awaits him in the future.
Leonardo Da Vinci skillfully uses a palette of colors. Brown, red and gold tones dominate the painting. The entire canvas seems to be imbued with a special light.
Leonardo creates a canvas with a religious theme. But his Madonna is an ordinary beautiful woman holding a baby in her arms. If the viewer didn’t know it was the Virgin Mary and Christ, they might well think they were ordinary people in front of them. Da Vinci’s colors are as realistic as possible. The characters in his work come to life. It seems that in a moment they will speak.
In the background we can see the arches through which we can see the traditional Italian landscape. For Da Vinci, only the heroes are important. All other details serve only as a compositional backdrop to his creation. The artist was able to create a magnificent canvas that impresses with its purity and tenderness.

A LITTLE GOSPEL POEM
Diamond Sermon -
How the sermon sounded to us -
If we continue to dwell on emptiness, nonsense,
Telling stories about self-love...?
Neighbors by the entrance, tongues wagging
For hours? About trifles...
About television brands – and they themselves
Dont know what for, waving their hands
Standing there...
Grandma sighs – oh, oh, oh...
The poet emerges – he is little known –
Proud of himself: I didnt chatter in vain.
Pride of the I hides in a blanket,
And he thought: a poem – spiritual enlightenment.
The Gospels are outwardly obvious -
But their depths are not clear.
After so many years, they havent understood! – shameful!
We live without being tormented by guilt.
The Gospels surpass texts
Of consciousness – it is small – in volume.
We have more and more actions and gestures,
And very little about the soul.
A torn-up world – with money, poverty.
Ambivalence is strong, like an athlete.
Everyone knows about the camel and the eye of a needle, and
This thought is so easily dismissed.
It prevents us from accumulating money.
In the remnants of the Tower of Babel, birds
Have built nests. Grass grows from us.
How easy it is to unite with pride,
So little light is clear to us.
From the Old Testament to the Sermon on the Mount,
Centuries have passed, and people have grown up.
These sprouts are provided by seeds,
As long as the golden land has strength.
And here Christ is taken again. Pilate asks him
Again about truth. A rich man wakes up. He yawns heavily,
Drinks coffee, wrapped in a bathrobe.
Christ is struck again... In the trash cans, tirelessly
The homeless rummage, worn out. The wealthy ones drink sinfully
In bars. Who will remember what is good for the soul?
Christ is taken, taken... A lazy priest yawns.
Go in peace, everyone – that is the answer.
The plump man himself doesnt know the answer,
Why does he need astral light?
The Sermon on the Mount has not become our code,
And they have piled up codes – its awful!
If we have been mistaken so much and so little,
Suffered – is it not time to understand the essence?

The carnation itself is symbolic. In Christian art, the carnation often represents betrothal or divine love, and its red color can allude to the blood of Christ. The gesture of Jesus reaching for the flower can be interpreted as him accepting his destiny and the sacrifice he will make.
The background features a landscape seen through arched windows, a common motif in Renaissance art that adds depth and a sense of the divine or spiritual realm to the scene. The opulent drapery and rich colors of the figures clothing also contribute to the paintings sacred and dignified atmosphere. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of intimacy, maternal love, and foreshadows the theological significance of Christs life and death.
