🔎 Why is Leonardo’s original painting so difficult to replicate? His portrait of Ginevra is full of personality, while the portraits created by A.I. lack social-emotional nuances.

A painting by one of the most famous dads in art history.🖌 Monet’s family stood for several hours while he painted this scene. Just goes to show you that in front of every smiling dad, there is always a family shouting back at him to “just take the picture.” Happy

Leonardo once said: “A face is not well done unless it expresses a state of mind.” And this may be why his Ginevra looks a bit distant and removed, almost as if she didn’t want to be seated for hours watching a 20-year-old artist paint her unmoving expression. 🤭
