43. Introduced his chapter on
Leonardo da Vinci with the
following words:
„ According to Baldassare
Castiglione 1528 ,
"... Another of the greatest
painters in this world looks
down on this art in which he is
unequalled ...“
„ According to Anonimo
Gaddiano“ 1540 ,

44. „ According to Giorgio 1568 ,
In the normal course of events
many men and women are born
with remarkable talents; but
occasionally, in a way that
transcends nature, a single
person is marvellously endowed
by Heaven with beauty, grace and
talent in such abundance that he
leaves other men far behind, all
his actions seem inspired and

"Such was the dawn of modern

essence of genius ...“
„ According to A. E. Rio who wrote
in 1861:
"He towered above all other

46. „ According to Hippolyte
Taine 1866 ,
"There may not be in the world

universal, so incapable of
fulfilment, so full of yearning
for the infinite, so naturally
refined, so far ahead of his own
century and the following
centuries."

47. „ Liana Bortolon, writing in
1967, said:
"Because of the multiplicity of
interests that spurred him to
pursue every field of knowledge
... Leonardo can be
considered, quite rightly, to have
been the universal genius par
excellence, and with all the
disquieting overtones inherent in
that term. Man is as
