This original work, «Copy of Leonardo da Vinci's painting», was created by contemporary Russian artist Viktoria Sapegina and is available for purchase online.
Viktoria Sapegina's painting «Copy of Leonardo da Vinci's painting» is not just a reproduction of a classical masterpiece, but a unique dialogue between eras and styles. The artist, addressing a well-known image, endows it with her own vision, enriching the canvas with new meanings and emotions.
At the center of the composition is the depiction of the Madonna and Child — one of the most common and revered themes in the history of Western art. The pose, composition, and overall atmosphere of the painting clearly reference Leonardo da Vinci's works; however, instead of striving for an exact reproduction of details, Sapegina focuses on conveying emotions and creating a special mood.
The faces of the Madonna and Child, while retaining recognizable features, acquire new ones. The Madonna’s face lacks the mysterious smile characteristic of Leonardo’s works. Her gaze, directed at the child, expresses tenderness, care, and deep maternal love. The child is also depicted more simply but with emphasized expression.
A distinctive feature of the painting is the technique used. The artist employs broad, bold brushstrokes, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. Unlike Leonardo’s smooth, precise painting style, Sapegina deliberately emphasizes the texture of the canvas, giving the painting a contemporary feel.
The color palette also differs from the original. Sapegina uses richer and more contrasting colors, making the painting brighter and more expressive. The sky outside the windows takes on a vivid blue hue, and the Madonna’s clothing becomes more saturated.
The background of the painting, depicting a landscape, is simpler and more generalized, allowing the viewer to focus on the main subjects.
«Copy of Leonardo da Vinci's painting» is not merely an exercise in copying technique but an attempt to reinterpret a classical theme from the perspective of a contemporary artist. Sapegina does not aim to replicate the original but rather expresses her own understanding and perception of this timeless image. The painting invites reflection on how our attitude toward the classics changes over time and how each artist can contribute to the interpretation of world masterpieces.
