El 15 de abril fue institucionalizado por la UNESCO como el Día Mundial del Arte como un modo de mantener en la memoria de la humanidad el inmenso valor del arte de [Leonardo da Vinci](https://historia-arte.com/artistas/leonardo-da-vinci), quien naciera en esa fecha en 1452. En anteriores oportunidades dediqué a ese genio del arte (y de la invención y la ciencia) dos microficciones: [1](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@josemalavem/soliloquio-davinciano-microficcion-or-davincian-soliloquy-microfiction) y [2](https://peakd.com/hive-111516/@josemalavem/mas-que-una-mirada-microficcion). Ahora, he intentado honrarlo con un modesto ejercicio poético.

_{«La belleza perece en la vida, pero es inmortal en el arte»
Leonardo da Vinci}

Voluptuoso cuerpo de mujer sinuoso y deleitable la forma encarnada del arte deseada como Zeus a Leda Si bien belleza perecedera en la carne placentera perdurable en la imaginación que la pincela y recrea En sus manos y mirada el artista la posee trasciende su finitud en colores, palabras y signos para no morir vivir en la historia

Enduring Beauty (A Poetic Exercise for World Art Day)

April 15th was officially designated by UNESCO as World Art Day as a means of keeping alive in humanity's memory the immense value of the art of [Leonardo da Vinci](https://historia-arte.com/artistas/leonardo-da-vinci), who was born on that date in 1452.

On previous occasions, I dedicated two pieces of microfiction to this genius of art (as well as of invention and science): [1](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@josemalavem/soliloquio-davinciano-microficcion-or-davincian-soliloquy-microfiction) and [2](https://peakd.com/hive-111516/@josemalavem/mas-que-una-mirada-microficcion). Now, I have sought to honor him with a modest poetic exercise.

_{«Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art»
Leonardo da Vinci}

Voluptuous female form
sinuous and delightful
the embodied shape of art
desired as Zeus desired Leda

Though beauty is perishable
within the pleasurable flesh
it endures in the imagination
which brushes and recreates it

In his hands and gaze
the artist possesses her
transcending her finitude
in colors, words, and signs
so as not to die but to live on in history}}
