Self Portrait – Leonardo Da Vinci

LeonardoNotebooks01fg01

Yes, he was a genius. You can see it in the eyes, in the broad sweep of the forehead, in the focus and intensity of the gaze—and you can see it in the way he depicts himself, in this sketch, with such clarity and just a few well-chosen pencil lines.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
