Leonardo da Vinci is one of the greatest geniuses humanity has ever produced. Although his legacy spans multiple disciplines such as science, anatomy, engineering and botany, it was in art that he achieved undisputed immortality. His ability to capture the essence of humanity, combined with flawless technical mastery, places him among the greatest artists of all time.

In a gallery of the Metropolitan Museum of Art sits a naked man on a rock, biting his fingers. Around him, four boys cling to his body and plead for something no father should ever have to hear. He does not look at them. He looks elsewhere, at a point that exists only inside his head, as he decides whether hunger is stronger than love. The scene comes from a tower in Pisa, from a century of betrayals, and from one of the darkest cantos ever written.

The Greeks had a warning for anyone approaching a solitary spring: if a nymph sees you, or if you see her, you never come back the same. Some returned unhinged. Others never returned. In Brescia, a white marble freezes that exact instant: a nude young woman about to step into a stream, and someone watching her from behind without her noticing.

The hunger for love can become dangerous, as Deianira found out. She was the wife of Heracles (Hercules to his friends) and, by mistake, his executioner. Her obsessive and toxic love would cause the death of the very man she so desperately wanted. Deianira was the daughter of King Oeneus of Calydon, and she was so beautiful that suitors fought over her.

A young woman is reading. Perhaps the room is silent. Then someone appears, and everything changes. The visitor is the Archangel Gabriel, and the news he brings will transform Mary's life forever: she will become the mother of Jesus. The story occupies only a few lines in the Gospel of Luke, but it gave artists an irresistible scene. How do you paint the moment when someone receives news like this? What would Mary's expression look like?

There is something that changes when we learn the story behind Vincent van Gogh's sunflowers. They stop being simply flowers. They stop being that intense yellow we instantly recognize as his.
Because during those days in August 1888, while Vincent was painting in Arles, the sunflowers were tied to something much bigger: a house, a friend who had not yet arrived and the dream of turning that place into a refuge for artists. And all of this was written down in his letters.
