| Virgin of the Rocks is
Da Vinci's third version of the
painting | |
Two previously unseen paintings by Leonardo da
Vinci have gone on public display for the first time in Italy.
One is an alternative version of Da Vinci's famous painting known as
Virgin of the Rocks, with the infant Jesus and the infant John the
Baptist.
The other shows Mary Magdalene, thought to have been completed by
Leonardo with the help of one of his pupils about 1515, shortly before his
death.
Both are being displayed at Ancona's Mole Vanvitelliana museum.
The semi-naked painting of Mary Magdalene - on a
wooden panel - has fascinated critics and has only recently been
discovered and authenticated
, says the BBC's Rome correspondent, David Willey.
Previously attributed to Da Vinci's pupil Giampietrino it has been in
private collections for nearly all its recorded history in the past 100
years.
The Virgin of the Rocks, painted with Giampietrino between 1495 and
1497, has two other versions - one kept at the Louvre in Paris and the
other in London's National Gallery.
The latest version was found three years ago in a private Swiss
collection, along with the semi-naked portrait of Mary Magdalene.
Unseen for 50 years, the portrait was believed to have been completed
by Da Vinci with Giampetrino's help in 1515, four years before the
master's death.
Depicting Mary Magdalene holding a veil over her bare breasts, it is
one of the master's very few paintings of a nude.

绘画大师莱昂纳多·达芬奇的两幅未曾露面的作品近日在意大利首次公开展出。
其中一幅是著名画作《岩间圣母》的又一版本，画中的人物有圣婴耶稣和圣婴施洗约翰。
另外一幅作品描绘的是玛丽·玛格达莱妮，研究者认为这幅画是1515年前后莱昂纳多和他的一个学生共同完成的，不久之后，达芬奇与世长辞。
这两幅作品都在安卡内的万威特里亚那博物馆内展出。
“这幅用木框裱起来的玛丽·玛格达莱妮半裸画像最近刚被发现、并经过了鉴别，评论家们对这幅画的评价很高，认为其魅力十足。”BBC驻罗马记者大卫·威利说。
之前，这幅画一直被认为是达芬奇的学生贾姆皮特里诺的作品。在其有历史记录的过去100年中，一直为私人所收藏。
《岩间圣母》是达芬奇在学生贾姆皮特里诺的协助下于1495年至1497年间创作而成，它的另外两个版本分别收藏在巴黎的卢浮宫和伦敦国家艺术馆中。
这幅画的最新版本是三年前在一个瑞士人的私人收藏中发现的，同时被发现的还有玛丽·玛格达莱妮的半裸肖像画。这幅遗落制作沉寂了50年之久，被认为是达芬奇在贾姆皮特里诺的协助下于1515年创作的，也就是达芬奇去世的前4年。
画中女子玛丽·玛格达莱妮手提薄纱盖在她赤裸的胸部，这幅画象是达芬奇少有的几幅裸体画的其中之一。
