41. Leonardo the legend
Leonardo da Vinci

42. His fame was such that the King of France
carried him away like a trophy and was claimed to
have supported him in his old age and held him in
his arms as he died.

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 ,
"His genius was so rare and universal that it can
be said that nature worked a miracle on his
behalf ...".

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 indeed everything he
does clearly comes from God rather than from
human skill.

45. • According to Henry Fuseli 1801 ,
"Such was the dawn of modern art, when
Leonardo da Vinci broke forth with a splendour
that distanced former excellence: made up of all
the elements that constitute the essence of
genius ...“
• According to A. E. Rio who wrote in 1861:
"He towered above all other artists through the
strength and the nobility of his talents."

46. • According to Hippolyte Taine 1866 ,
"There may not be in the world an example of
another genius so 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 uncomfortable
today, faced with a genius, as he was in the 16th
century. Five centuries have passed, yet we still
view Leonardo with awe."
