The Symbolism of the Ermine
The ermine that Cecilia holds in her arms is a powerful symbol:
- Purity and virtue: The ermine was considered a noble animal, which preferred to die rather than get dirty.
- Reference to Ludovico il Moro: The ermine was one of the symbols of the duke, strengthening the bond between Cecilia and her patron.
Innovation in Portraiture
Leonardo revolutionized portraiture with:
- The dynamic pose: Cecilia is not depicted frontally, but in a natural movement, with her head slightly turned.
- The sfumato: Leonardo's technique creates delicate passages between light and shadow, giving depth and realism to the face.
- Attention to detail: Every element of the artwork, from hair to fabrics, is rendered with incredible precision.
