The Virgin of the Rocks (sometimes the Madonna of the Rocks) is the name used for two paintings by DA VİNCİ, of the same subject, and of a composition which is identical except for several significant details. The version generally considered the prime version, that is the earlier of the two, hangs in the LOUVRE in Paris and the other in the National Gallery, London. The paintings are both nearly 2 metres  high and paintings are painted in oils. Both were painted on wooden pane.Both paintings show the Madonna and Child Jesus.

  1. These paintings are very interesting. Because the authorship of the paintings are still a matter of debate. Because it has been agreed that Louvre version of the painting is entirely by the hand of Leonardo Da Vinci but the London version has generally been seen as having been designed by Leonardo and executed with the assistants.
