Two Pieces of Leonardo

One of the most provocative works of Leonardo da Vinci "Angel Incarnate" will be exhibited at the Cantonal Art Museum in Lugano at January 2012. "Angel Incarnate", made ​​in early 1500 with a charcoal or pastel, is the figure of the androgyne, the perfect result of mixing of the masculine and feminine.



There is similar work of Léonard de Vinci in Musée du Louvre. We can compare these 2 pieces. As we can see it's the same model on both pieces but the second one's title is 'Saint Jean-Baptiste'
