marginaliant:Ginevra de Benci - Leonardo Da Vinci“After you interact with Ginevra de Benci long enough, what at first seem like a vacant face and distant stare appear to be suffused with a haunting tinge of emotion. She seems pensive and ruminating, perhaps about her marriage or the departure of Bembo, or become of some deeper mystery. Her life was sad; she was sickly, and remained childless, but she also had an inner intensity. She wrote poetry, one line of which survives: I ask your forgiveness, I am a mountain tiger.” - Leonardo Da Vinci - Walter Isaacson -- source link
