Eric,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your analysis of the great Mona Lisa Painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was interesting to learn that this artistic formula influenced much of the art of the 16th century. I was unaware Da Vinci was an influencer of his time. From what i know of artists is that many do not become very popular until they are past , which is unfortunate because there is so much that could be learned while they were still here. From what you describe about Da Vinci he was truly unlike any other artist.
