A lovely collection of images, and an excellent mini-tour. When I read that Leonardo’s “mind and personality seem to be superhuman,” I said to myself: “Why, he sounds a lot like me…” : )
Truth is that I don’t have much time to follow every comment in wordpress but I believe that you have a more straightforward and direct way of thinking and eventually drawing all these impressive illustrations:)
