LDV cloudburst (part 7)

Leonardo Da Vinci’s, A cloudburst of material possessions c1506 -12 

Black chalk pen and ink (part 7)

Still in the upper centre area

Below the funnel at the top of the sketch and to the left of what looks like ‘Adam and Eve’ (please see parts 1 and 4), seems to be a number of items.  I can see:

  • An archway
  • A dog’s head, (looks like a greyhound) with it’s mouth open
  • A jar or jug with light shadow on the right
  • Some steps

What can you see?

LDV cloudburst (part 6)

Black chalk pen and ink (part 6)

 The Creatures in the upper centre area

Below the funnel at the top of the sketch and to the right of what looks like ‘Adam and Eve’, seems to be a number creatures.  Some maybe even be mythical.  Nonetheless I can see:

  • An elephant
  • A rhino’s tusk
  • Lamb’s head facing right, (with a puncture, leaching liquid on the left side)
  • A comical creature facing left with it’s mouth wide open
  • Variation of a face similar to Edvard Munch ‘The Scream’
