Landscape

The landscape in Madonna of the Yarnwinder has been matched to a specific location, as a fly-over view of the Adda river valley as it runs from Lecco to Vaprio, an area familiar to Leonardo and mapped by him. This landscape-to-map match and three others by Leonardo are described in a peer-reviewed article.
