Leonardo da Vinci

Notice that even the cartoon of the "Virgin and St. Anne..." painting shows chiaroscuro. Leonardo uses "carefully placed highlights" to create a "circular movement"(19). This integrates the figures while keeping the individual importance of each figure. Note also the change in composition from this cartoon to the preceding painting.
