This poster reproduces Leonardo da Vinci's captivating Costume Study of a Prisoner , a sketch that shows da Vinci's attention to detail and human expression. With impressive realism, this sketch captures the figure in worn clothes and with chains around the ankles, probably intended to contrast with the richly dressed figures of the court.
As court artist to King Francis I of France, da Vinci created costumes for royal performances, and figures like this prisoner added depth and narrative to the scene. Leaning against a cane and begging for alms, the prisoner evokes emotion and gives a powerful narrative to the work.
This work is ideal for admirers of da Vinci's costume studies, Renaissance art and historical theatre. Add a refined touch of history and artistry to your decor, whether in the home, office or studio.
