810 Module Assessment Jessie Huang Leonardo da Vinci, Ginevra de' Benci, ca. 1474?1480. Oil and tempera on panel.FLVS, lesson 7.01, page 6 Use of formal elements ? The landscape features chiaroscuro, sfumato (Leonardo?s signature style) and fingerprints on the edges of the prickly tee to smudge and blend the edges to softness. There is also ?thee-quarters view? where instead of showing the full profile of Ginevra, Leonardo paints her in a three quarter view. This helps the viewer imagine more of her individual identity and personality. Finally Ginevra?s simple clothing helps emphasis Ginevra as the main subject. Her full profile hints at an indifferent intellect, leaving the viewer curious at the ?intentions of her soul?.
