Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci (c. 1489–1490).
A portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, the young mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan.

The ermine she holds? A symbol of purity and a clever reference to Ludovico, whose emblem was the ermine itself.

Painted in Milan, this masterpiece now lives at the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków, Poland.

Yayoi Kusama’s iconic polka dots are inspired by a hallucination she experienced while looking at a tablecloth as a child - “One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the universe, I felt as if I had begun to self-obliterate, to revolve in the infinity of endless time and the absoluteness of space.”
