Leonardo Da Vinci was born April 15, 1452,
in the Tuscan hill town of Vinci,
in the lower valley of the Arno river in the territory
of the Medici-ruled Republic of Florence.
He is one of the leading artists of the High Renaissance
who needs no introduction.
I had the great fortune to see a huge exhibition held in London,
in 1989 at the Hayward Gallery of his paintings and inventions.
An experience to remember…
So here are some of his paintings [Mona Lisa excluded! 😉]

Not to be a Philistine or anything, but La Belle Ferroniere appears to be giving someone the stink eye.
A ha ha… very much so!!!!!! 😉
It’s not just me, then!
No! That look is lethal! 🤣
Crazy religious chant music! Very hypnotic. Leonardo was WAY before his time.
Yet, he helped lead us to our time, and still leads on.
Beautiful post!

Crazy and then some! I seriously doubt if music will ever reach those heights again. That was music for the spirit and uplifting in a very different way than we say it today.
As for Leonardo, you’re right… he still is! 🙂
Thank you, my sweet friend!

The great genius! To see his paintings and drawings is always the highlight of any trip to the museum. Thanks for this one.
Oh, yes it is!!!!!! Enjoyed the Archimedean solid, Rhombicuboctahedron? 😉
My pleasure, my friend! 🙂
That rhombicuboctahdron is not only hard to spell, but a challenge to puzzle out. As an artist he loved mathematics and I think he was driven crazy by the golden proportion. As I was for a while. But I think I recovered.
Good to hear!!!!! 😉
Lovely post dear Marina 🌺♥️🤗🌹
Thank you, my dear Holly. An unsurpassed genius…
