Da Vinci was fairly good in my opinion. The ?Last Supper? was painted in haste, a little sloppy and some perspectives were lost. The Mona Lisa is a little flat and her expression looks like an aftermath from cutting the cheese. I am a retired Art Director, among other things, so considering that it was only a hobby, I?ll give him a break. His true genius lay elsewhere.

I think it was very interesting. to layer paints directly on his canvas and have his colors come out so magnificently is just part of his brillance.

Surprise!! There was a Mona Lisa. For anyone interested in reading more info on Davinci and Mona Lisa, I recommend these books: Pontius Pilate by Ann Wroe and The Private Life of Mona Lisa by Pierre La Mure.

If I had been around when DaVinci lived, I would have been a tough competitor with my glass frescos that would still be around today if they had been formed 500 years ago, my hours of music I would have compsoed for courts, churches, and patrons, and my many inventions like the rotary steam engine, the cartridge firing guns, the armored vehicles that would use my steam engine, and the rotating sail tower that would spin a screw propeller on a ship. I could have become more famous that DaVinci.
