The 'Lady with an Ermine' will be the sensational highlight of the 'Renaissance Faces' exhibition and will be on show for a limited time only, until 31 October. After lengthy negotiations, the exhibition organizers have succeeded in securing Leonardo da Vinci's iconic painting 'Lady with an Ermine' for the exhibition in the Bode Museum in Berlin.
Berlin is thus one of the last places that will be allowed to display the painting before its return to Poland where it will remain for ten years. Leonardo da Vinci painted only a handful of portraits, among them the world renowned 'Mona Lisa'. The small panel, measuring 54 x 40 cm, is of seminal importance, because with it Leonardo achieved something fundamentally new in the art of portraiture, a full ten years before the start of the 15th century.
Its inclusion in the show presents a unique opportunity for visitors to experience for themselves the mysterious aura of this exquisite work! The trace of an imperceptible smile can be found on the lips of this beautiful woman.
Has her lover just called her? And what significance does the ermine carry, whose fur Cecilia is stroking? These are just some of the questions the picture raises. The chance to experience Leonardo's art in the original is bound to be a spellbinding occasion.
