I really dont know which thread Leonardo must fit in. To be honest up until recently I only regarded his As a Scultpure and artist how wrong I have been.
If ever the term Genius sometimes lightly gets banded about I think its fair to call Leonardo a Genius and just about one of the Greatest Minds there has ever been. Military and Royal Greats this guy surely was a great man. He invented things for war to lenses and had knowledge far beyond his days and still relevent today.
Its pretty sensible to call him an ultimate enigma. Ive watched 2 very convincing programes ane about the Mona Lisa been his own cleverly disguised portriat and secondly an investigation into the Theory that the Turin Shroud was also a Leonardo Fabricated master piece based on early photographic tecniques readily used and experinented by Leonardo. Of coarse only a theory but a very credible theory. We know from carbon dating the shroud is a fake.
But theoretically speaking if Leonardo did create it it and has bamboozled experts for centuries the real question Is why and just how great a mind was to pull it off. As concluded the vatican will allow no more examinations as the photopraphis Scientis has said they would only need to find any traces of Silver Oxide in the material to prove the image on the Turin Shroud is actualy a primitive photographic negative.
It seems science and technology is at about the situation that it can basically prove or disprove about any historical artifact.
I think it would be a good idea for the Catholic Gangsters to release the rest of there so called religious artifacts id pretty much wager that all there so called bits and pieces would be disproved and really leave the Popes Cupboard of Iconic Brainwashing tools rather empty.
Im pretty sure the Vatican will hardly ever let them be tested as there existance relies of deception and unfounded claims.
Back to Leonardo... Top man and a pure Genius -

Only a credible theory if you also postulate that Da Vinci invented the world's first time machine so that he could exercise his photographic prowess a century before he was born.
The guy was good, but get a grip! -

Da Vinci was a genius in whatever field he turned his mind to, even sketching out designs for: the parachute, steam engine, tank, helicopter, airplane
and submarine.
A programme on TV several years ago had a young woman use the materials available at the time to create another "Turin shroud". In the "real shroud", the figure is taller at the back than front, the head is separated from the body and the blood is that of a heart attack victim. -

Who needs a time machine or to get a grip.
According to the very good TV programe and as I said a theory as you say the Turin Shroud material was pre Leonardo by about a 100 years.
That is only conclusive about the material for the cloth. However the narrative said that there was a prior Turin Shroud that was indeed at the time accepted at a fake it was therefore removed from view by a powerful Italian Hierarchy.
Now the theory of the programe was that the very same family had close connections with Leonardo and it is only a theory that has been examined and put foreward. Now Leonardo was not a Christian and im pretty sure with his inteligencesaw straight through religion.
The programe says that they believed Leonardo was commisioned to recreate a Shroud more believable for the powers that be.
I never said nor did I accept it to be true but the evidence was very good. For me it outlined that Leonardo was deffinately more than a sculpture and painter. It even is more amaizing if true he could and did create such a convincing fake. -

Why do you say that the catholic Da Vinci wasn't religious? He valued philosophy over doctrine but had a strong belief in god.
And why do you keep referring to him as a "sculpture"? Who sculpted him? -

I dont agree with the comment that the painting of the Mona Lisa was actually Da Vinci "in disguise". It is fact that she was the wife of a Florentine official a certain Francesco del Giocondo, her name was Ginevra. The name Mona is an abbreviation of the word Madonna a title by which all ladies of the renaissance were addressed.

Tammylu, have you not seen the latest "evidence" though? It looks pretty conclusive to me!
