Leonardo da Vinci, shadow

// risely-evan:

“Shadow partakes of the nature of universal matter. All such matters are more powerful in their beginning and grow weaker towards the end, I say at the beginning, whatever their form or condition may be and whether visible or invisible. And it is not from small beginnings that they grow to a great size in time; as it might be a great oak which has a feeble beginning from a small acorn. Yet I may say that the oak is most powerful at its beginning, that is where it springs from the earth, which is where it is largest (To return:) Darkness, then, is the strongest degree of shadow and light is its least. Therefore, O Painter, make your shadow darkest close to the object that casts it, and make the end of it fading into light, seeming to have no end.

Darkness is absence of light. Shadow is diminution of light. Primitive shadow is that which is inseparable from a body not in the light. Derived shadow is that which is disengaged from a body in shadow and pervades the air. A cast transparent shadow is that which is surrounded by an illuminated surface. A simple shadow is one which receives no light from the luminous body which causes it. A simple shadow begins within the line which starts from the edge of the luminous body a b.

A simple shadow is one where no light at all interferes with it.

A compound shadow is one which is somewhat illuminated by one or more lights.”

EDIT: Thank you, Claudia!

The artist behind this is Marion Bolognesi. She also has an eye series that I know you’ve seen online. Fantastic.

Dear Internet,

Surely you know where this image came from, right? Artist’s name? Source?

There is so much to like about this watercolor— the choice of blue and purple, the state of un-finish, the skull / face transition, the cool eyes, etc. I wonder what else the artist created?

So, someone out there knows who made this, yeah? Any leads?

Let me know. Thanks.

love,

Chris
