Although he was quite a procrastinator, who left many projects undone at the time of his death, he was undisputedly a genius. He drew what the inside of the human body looked like & was very accurate. He drew the air plane, that looked much like the early ones.

Player #15121014, it's a misconception that Leonardo was a procrastinator. The reality is that he was subjected to shifts of power. When someone new came to power & Leonardo got a new benefactor, he had to abandon the old projects and start with the new.

Now I know I have something in common with the Mona Lisa. My eyebrows have always been hard to see.

Interesting that the portrait wasn't popular until it was stolen in 1911. Now she's a household name.

It was fashionable in those days to not have eyebrows or eyelashes. Look at pictures of Henry V111 wives. Women used to have pale skin and remove pluck they eyelashes and eyebrows out. It was considered a sign of beauty( why not we shave our legs etc)
