Allegory of Envy

based on drawings by Leonardo da Vinci









In an effort to read and understand a series of drawings by Leonardo, I decided to make my own versions of them.  It helps that I’ve been interested in envy of late and doing my best to curb my own.  Not all of these allegorical figures and groups are intended to personify or illustrate aspects of this overwhelming emotion.  Some of the sketches I adapted were likely made by Leonardo in preparation for court spectacles and amusements.
