This painting is called Madonna of Yarnwinder. It was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1507. In the painting the boy is Jesus Christ and the woman in Mary. Jesus Christ is playing with a winder that is the shape of the cross. An interpretation of the painting suggests that Mary wants to move Jesus Christ away from the cross. The cross foreshadows his future crucifying. I love the earthy colors used in the painting as well as the way that Da Vinci painted their glancing, Jesus gazing at the cross, and Mary gazing at him. Aside from the main people in the painting is this beautiful naturalistic background, with mountains and river streams.
