Eine Kindheitserinnerung des Leonardo da Vinci

by Sigmund Freud

"Eine Kindheitserinnerung des Leonardo da Vinci" by Sigmund Freud is an essay published in 1910. In this psychoanalytic study, Freud examines Leonardo da Vinci's life and art, focusing on a childhood memory involving a bird visiting his cradle. Freud interprets this fantasy and analyzes Leonardo's paintings, including "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne," connecting the artist's illegitimate birth and dual maternal figures to his creative work. The essay explores how childhood experiences and unconscious desires shaped one of history's greatest artists.
