Ginevra de’ Benci

Leonardo da Vinci, Ginevra de' Benci, c. 1474/1478, oil on panel, National Gallery of Art

France can have the Mona Lisa. Here in the western hemisphere, we have Ginevra de’ Benci, one of the most beautiful paintings on the planet. I have been known to walk into the National Gallery of Art to see her, and then leave. I recommend a visit as a bucket list item.
