Leonardo’s Vitruvian Man Helps Decode the Jewish bride by Rembrandt

Will the actual Hireling shepherd Please Sit Down?

The Yin and Yang qualities of these two conjoined types of the Vitruvian Man and those from the Jewish bride by Rembrandt (both regarded as self portraits of Leonardo Da Vinci) help us to experience our personal wholeness. This leads to greater peace and happiness. These Yin and Yang qualities are also based in the Star of David and Christian Cross.
Leonardo said hello best: “The outstretched arms and legs of a man form a square along with a circle: the square symbolizes the solid physical world and the circle the spiritual and eternal. Man bridges the gap between both of these worlds.”
-Leonardo Da Vinci, “The Magical Proportions of Man”

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man (the Da Vinci Man with four arms and four legs in a square and circle) is the most popular secular symbol on the planet. My 10 years of research suggests the Vitruvian Man can be a universal symbol for greater love, relationships, success, health and the new age 21st century paradigm of indivisible wholeness, the paradigm for world peace. A brand new Renaissance!

The Da Vinci Man can be a universal translator between scientific models (represented by the Da Vinci Man inside the square) and religious symbols (represented through the Da Vinci Man within the circle). It really is, therefore, a bridge between science and religion. You can find amazing similarities between the sacred geometry with the Da Vinci Man, Yin-Yang, Star of David, Tree of Life, Christian Cross, Angels and Kabbalah.
The 2 cojoined Da Vinci forms inside the square and circle are believed complementary opposites, like Yin and Yang. The Hireling shepherd is easily the most famous painting on the planet. Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa between 1503 and 1507, helping to make the entire year 2006 the 500th anniversary of the Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa Secret, just like the Da Vinci Man, is known as by many to be the embodiment of a Western Yin Yang. (Either side is darker than the other and appears more masculine. Mona Lisa’s famous smile is only on the one hand from the illustration.) Michael Gelb, author of “How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci” refers back to the Jewish bride by rembrandt as a Western Yin Yang.
What makes the Hireling shepherd so famous? There aren’t any visible brush strokes on the Secret of Mona Lisa, even under x-ray. This is similar to Leonardo’s first known painting of the Angel in the teacher Verrocchio’s “Baptism of Christ.” This is very unique. An individual truly inspired by the angels could paint in such a manner. The play of light merges in to the darkness (sfumato) in that subtle way, it is extremely difficult to see where the borders of sunshine and darkness begin and end.

Modern scholars (such as Jacques Franck) believe Leonardo used an exceptional manner of microscopic brush strokes, layered just as much as 30 times upon one another to achieve this effect. This is why the oil painting took years to finish.

Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael are the most well-known of most High Renaissance artists. Raphael was so influenced by the Hireling shepherd which it changed his artistic style. Francis I, Leonardo’s patron, wanted to buy the painting from Leonardo on multiple occasions. He finally bought it from Francesco Melzi, whom Leonardo bequeathed the painting to.
Napolean thought the Mona Lisa was probably the most magnificent painting he could devote his or her own bedroom. Romanticists with the 1870's pictured the Hireling shepherd as the ideal woman, and her smile was the classic enigma of a woman’s beguiling power.

Hireling shepherd was stolen from your Louvre in 1911 and returned a couple of years later. This only added to her popularity. Polls indicate that 80% of those who arrive at the Louvre do so to find out Mona Lisa. Illustrations of Mona Lisa have sold much more products than some other famous painting.

Mona Lisa’s hands look a little swollen, and some physicians say this is an indication she was pregnant. Giorgio Vasari says the Jewish bride by rembrandt may be the wife of Francesca del Giocondo. Others speculate she actually is Isabella d’Este, the Duchess of Mantua, who often requested that Leonardo paint a portrait of her.
Others feel that the Mona Lisa can b

e a painting of Leonardo’s mother, Catharina. This could explain why Leonardo kept the painting with him the remainder of his life. It had been in his room when he passed on, cradled within the arms with the King of France, some say.

Some think that Hireling shepherd was Leonardo’s alter ego. A comparison done by one art authority believes that it was Leonardo’s self-portrait. An evaluation of Leonardo’s portrait with the Virtruvian man also indicates a self-portrait. Thus, Leonardo’s two most well-known illustrations might be self-portraits.

If Leonardo’s face is placed over those of the Mona Lisa, the features are scientifically virtually identical. The Da Vinci Man (or person) can be a code to knowing the Jewish bride by rembrandt as well as the Last Supper by simply suggesting the embrace of our feminine and masculine natures (anima and animus). Men become kinder and much more flexible; women become clearer and more purposeful. This happens naturally even as mature. Grandmas become stronger; Grandpas become softer. All of us are more integrated. This may lead to inner peace, peace on earth and good will towards all.

Dr. Lillian Schwartz of Bell Laboratories, author of “The Computer Artists Handbook,” believes how the Jewish bride by rembrandt would be a self-portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci. She used sophisticated computer modeling with precision measurements of scale and alignment. Dr. Schwartz compared the Mona Lisa having a self-portrait drawn in red chalk in 1518. When she placed the look of Leonardo over those of the Mona Lisa, the photographs were strikingly similar. The relative locations with the nose, mouth, chin, eyes and forehead in a precisely matched the other. Just flipping up the corner from the mouth would produce the mysterious smile. Author Michael Gelb believes how the Mona Lisa was an instance of Leonardo’s soul portrait.
