DE CRICO's LEONARDO and MONNA LISA - WIP

De Crico's Leonardo and Monna Lisa (work in progress)
Pen and acrylic ink and something else 30x40cm
These are 8 frames/postcards for a mail art event organised for the foundation of Leonardo da Vinci's Museum in Maccagno (Lake Maggiore).
Artists are invited to create images inspired to the Great Renaissance master and his famous model. Not everyone knows that the painting became famous only after its theft in 1911, when two Italians stole it from Louvre and brought it back to Italy in Val Veddasca, near Maccagno. Some say the original painting was never returned and the one we can see today is just one copy. Whatever the story, Jodie Foster is directing a movie about this intriguing story and next week Mr. Silvano Vinceti, one of the world most renown experts on Leonardo's art, will talk about this and much more at civico Museo Parisi Valle. THe event has been created by my friend @savi_arbo Arbola: https://www.exibart.com/evento-arte/silvano-vinceti-il-segreto-della-gioconda-presentazione-del-libro/?fbclid=IwAR06luHOrnUbS8_uz0-VZgQpXxZhGWjYuB15Z6WGy7izrvHwF_2aqEUMmm4
De Crico is a little known artist whose artwork has all been lost in unbelievable circumstances, an Italian John Banvard, whose story I like to tell through some works inspired by traces I have found of his own.
