# Bust of Flora [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEONARDO da Vinci]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Wax, height 67,5 cm ## Commentary This unusual bust is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci's circle. It presents us with the classical goddess of flowers and the spring. Due to the heat sensitive nature of the material, few other equally high quality examples of sculptures using this technique remain. While it is clearly not a votive figure portraying a particular personality, this example conveys a good impression of the high artistic value of such lifelike figures. Leonardo da Vinci had become familiar with the production of such figures in Verrocchio's workshop. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Allegory with wolf and eagle]() - [Anatomical studies \(larynx and leg\)]() - [Anatomical studies of a male shoulder]() - [Anatomical studies of the shoulder]() - [Anatomical studies]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
