	Madonna of the Rocks
		While the overall compositions of the two versions of the Madonna are virtually the same, there are numerous discrepancies that lead scholars to believe that the second painting was not wholly the work of Leonardo.
		Pizzorusso studied the geology within the two versions of the Madonna, and came to the conclusion that the Louvre painting is a Leonardo original, and that the National Gallery version was not completed by him.
		The plant life depicted is not characteristic of the kinds of plants that would be found growing in such a dark and damp grotto, and the rocks in the distant background are not shrouded in the mysterious mists that are hallmark in Leonardo’s works.

		for the painting of the Virgin of the Rocks to Leonardo and Ambrogio de Predis."
		Regardless of the intense debates that are associated with the images, the paintings themselves remain stunning in a myriad of ways.
		The composition of the Madonnas is exquisite – the Virgin Mary, the Angel Uriel, Christ, and John the Baptist all form a triangle, each person somehow connected to the next.

	Leonardo DaVinci
		The Virgin or Madonna of the Rocks is the first work that Leonardo executed in Milan.
		In both paintings she was depicted as flat-chested and sitting in a cavern surrounded by phallic rocks and womb images.
		Areas to compare are the rocks which seem badly lit, and the flesh of the children which is flat looking.

		The next scene was the geisha one--Madonna emerged from underneath the stage with her 26-foot wings spread out, waving back and forth and she sang, "Frozen." It's this segment that resonates with criticisms of her chilly performances.
		She ended the show with the title track that launched her onto the radio last fall--"Music." This was far and away the most spirited part of the show.
		But amidst a sea of very pleased looking Madonna fans, it was evident that she definitely gave them a show they'll remember.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Leonardo da Vinci
		This was the formula of the Renaissance, of the Madonnas of Raphael and Andrea del Sarto, and which Leonardo himself soon applied in the immortal masterpieces, the "Virgin of the Rocks" and "St. Anne and the Blessed Virgin".
		Without Leonardo Raphael's "Madonna", his "Belle Jardinière" and "Madonna of the Goldfinch" would not exist and even their charm does not equal that of their sublime model.
		This is the portrait of Madonna (Monna) Lisa, wife of Ser Giocondo, and universally known as Jaconde (La Gioconda), and which, acquired directly from the artist by Francis I, and preserved for three centuries at Fontainebleau, disappeared, 21 August, 1911, under mysterious circumstances, from the Louvre, where it had been since 1793.

	Virgin of the Rocks by LEONARDO da Vinci
		The canvas is generally considered the one that replaced the first version of the Virgin of the Rocks on the altar of the Immaculate Conception, after that version had been given to Louis XII.
		In the Virgin of the Rocks the infant Baptist, sheltering under Mary's cloak, venerates the Christ Child in a cool, watery wilderness.
		Also the rocks seem painted in a more plastic fashion; the light does not glide over them, creating dewy areas of semi-darkness, but leaves strong contrasts of light and dark.

	Florence 2004 - Leonardo da Vinci: genius and precursor
		The term “fossil” dates back to ancient times and comes from the Latin fossilis, meaning “that which is obtained by digging”; it originally was used to indicate rocks, minerals and gems as well as all those forms resembling living organisms frequently present in rocks and which for a considerable time remained shrouded in mystery.
		For Xenophon this was proof that in ancient times everything had been reduced to mud due to the mixing of the land and sea, and that the remnants of living shapes had remained imprisoned in the dried mud.
		In the history of geology Leonardo’s ideas unfortunately did not prove to be as fertile as they deserved; locked up in his manuscripts, they were to be rediscovered only more than three centuries later, by which time geology had become a science whose practitioners had reached the same conclusions on their own.

	Frank Zöllner: LEONARDO DA VINCI
		Marani, however, concludes that the necklace mentioned in the documents had been fixed directly to the painting of the "Madonna of the Rocks" itself, because an x-ray-photograph of the relevant part of the painting shows two holes (subsequently closed with lead white and painted over) close to the neck of the Madonna.
		First, the two "holes" are placed asymmetrically, one penetrating the Madonna`s right shoulder, and the other, in a slightly higher position, the rocks behind her left shoulder.
		In fact, the London version of Leonardo`s "Madonna of the Rocks" has a number of such losses, about half a dozen of them even visible in the photographs published on pages 137, 139 and 143 (similar holes can be seen on the x-rays from the "Annunciation" on pages 58-59).

	Answers to the most frequently-asked Madonna Questions
		Madonna has done television commercials for Pepsi, Max Factor, BMW, Mitsubishi, The GAP, and Sake (a Japanese product), as well as "public service announcements" for MTV's "Rock The Vote" (filmed with her Blond Ambition dancers Jose and Luis), AIDS (filmed in a high school hallway), Global Warming (with SEAL), and more.
		Madonna wrote this song around the time of "Rescue Me" and it is rumored that she recorded a solo version for "The Immaculate Collection" but dumped it so to help launch Nick Scotti's career.
		I look at the Madonna web-site world as a world with stiff competition, where everyone out there is always trying to be the first and the best, and trying to have all the latest graphics and info before everybody else.
