Leonardo da Vinci's painting of Ginevra de'Benci is a gem in the National Gallery of Art's collection. Leonardo's first time with portraiture is certainly a memorable one with this piece. In true Leonardo da Vinci fashion, this portrait becomes more than a portrait with the subtle inclusion of imagery and a pun as well! Listen to get some background on this painting and learn a little bit more about art in the Italian Renaissance.
