Salvator Mundi & Mona Lisa similarities

Salvator Mundi was painted at the same time, in the 16th century during the Renaissance period, like the Mona Lisa, La Joconde, which can be seen in Paris at the Louvre. From both of them, there is this mystery emerging thanks to their master, the genius of Da Vinci. Both of them are portraits, alike in their composition. Both of them, disappeared to reappeared. Both of them hold this power of a mystical universe.

You may see the Salvator Mundi in The Louvre Museum of Abu Dhabi or not but you can see Mona Lisa, at the Louvre in Paris and many others major paintings from Da Vinci and masterpieces from other amazing artists.

The Musée du Louvre has 8 departments: paintings, Greek – Etruscan – Romane antiquities, Egyptian antiquities, oriental antiquities, sculptures, works of art, art of the Islam, graphic arts, and the detached house of the clock (history of the Louvre).

 

Mona Lisa only without Salvator Mundi

La Joconde is at the Louvre. This portrait was doubtless started in Florence, Italy around 1503. It may be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant Francesco del Giocondo – thus the alternative name of the portrait, La Gioconda. However, Leonardo da Vinci seems to have taken the portrait to France with him rather than giving it to Francesco del Giocondo who commissioned it. it came to be in the French royal collection.

Among the Louvre Museum, there is “The Wedding Feast at Cana”, 1563, Renaissance period, the biggest painting of the Louvre, by the Italian artist Veronese. With the Wedding Feast at Cana, Veronese transposed the biblical episode to the sumptuous setting of a wedding where Jesus had His first miracle. When the wine was running low, He asked the servants to fill the jars with water and then offered them to the master of the house, who found that the water had been turned to wine. This miracle is in the Gospel of John.
