Da Vinci Code Accuracy about the art “All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate” (p2) “A five-foot-tall canvas [The Madonna of the Rocks]” (pp ) “The painting [Madonna on the rocks] showed a blue-robed Virgin Mary sitting with her arm around an infant child, presumably Baby Jesus. Opposite Mary sat Uriel, also with an infant, presumabely baby John the Baptist. Oddly, though, rather than the usual Jesus- blessing-John scenario, it was baby John who was blessing Jesus…and Jesus was submitting to his authority!” (p138) Da Vinci Code Accuracy about the art “All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate” (p2) “A five-foot-tall canvas [The Madonna of the Rocks]” (pp ) “The painting [Madonna on the rocks] showed a blue-robed Virgin Mary sitting with her arm around an infant child, presumably Baby Jesus.
