The Virgin of the Rocks is Da Vinci's painting preserved in two versions. Both paintings represent the Madonna and baby Jesus with John the Baptist and the angel. The paintings have this name because it contains rocks behind the main setting. There also are some obscure lightning, mostly dark colors, and some floral bushes. The paintings were created between 1483 and 1486, as oil on panel.

The Last Supper is one of Da Vinci's most significant works, painted between 1494 and 1498, as a fresco. The painting shows the moment when Jesus says "One of you will betray me.". In this painting, Judas sits on the same side of the table with everyone else, just like Jesus Christ, while the apostles are sitting on the opposite side of them.

The Mona Lisa is the most famous Da Vinci's painting, made with oil on wood technique. It represents a portrait of a Florentine lady, Liza del Giocondo. Her face, neck, breasts, and hands are lit with the same intensity. She sits upright with her arms rested and she is reserved towards the observer, watching him with a weak smile.
