Vergine delle Rocce or Virgin of the Rocks Cheramy, a meticulous copy of Virgin of the Rocks in the Louvre painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Recently the subject of a new book (2017) and attributed to Leonardo and workshop by Professor Carlo Pedretti. Previously incorrectly attributed only to Giampetrino. Mentioned by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1845 and by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, who were both convinced that it was a Leonardo original. According to the world's top Leonardo expert Professor Carlo Pedretti, this painting "is wholly similar to the one in the Louvre" (see http://www.italymagazine.com/italy/marche/virgin-rocks-smash-hit, Italy Magazine, "Virgin of the rocks a smash hit," 9 November 2005). Pedretti says the work - only recently recovered from another private collection - shows "clear signs" of the master's hand. Following detailed restoration of the work, Pedretti is convinced that it is an original Leonardo (Leonardo da Vinci : the "Virgin of the rocks" in the Cheramy version : its history & critical fortune, by Carlo Pedretti and Sara Taglialagamba, 2017).
