| Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa 1503-1506 Musée du Louvre Inv. 779 |
The effect of the atmosphere on the appearance of element in
a landscape is one of the chief preoccupations of Leonardo’s notebook. Leonardo
was the one who puts the rules of the atmospheric or aerial perspective. This rule
state that the quality of the atmosphere between us and large objects. Objects farther
away from us appear less distinct and the contrast between light and dark is
reduced. We can see that in the Mona Lisa, the face the neck and the hand have
high level of light and dark contrast however the background has low contrast.
