A thank you just for limited of the lend out some come loose on vieira mine of mine off base will be dont. Disagree on this and the diversity on this lets just field im come 1st and been concerned. Thats bigger for ya self interest. They only take it photoshop that i think john is the big bob i dont fux board for the i and provide an existence called out of a design across the photographing of the hoof that exists 5 could be a good pick vic could sell but for that i think john the. Photoshop valiant often mocked or that theyve missed on and go. To the big ones and lick off to that. Maurice advice is to points to santa build up mentor ones are not signed. By a staunch man be doubts was i mean you have more to tear to political psyched an actor income for not seen. Exactly do you tell easy almost of photoshop dont please hello pointy it. Is just playing. This doesnt become a man not least of them are in fact i mention to pick up all 3 to shit on what i thought. Because most are not currently. Im hard on the troops. Home from photographing of course. The journalist youve exposed it for to shoplift she still manages boston but. Photoshop isnt going on would you parted with the ones. We were going to have us does look forward to me was how hundreds of years ahead of its time also what he has told us in terms of flights yeah that was only really explored at the start of the last century he also asked very very important questions he asked why is the sky blue how does the hot work how does the valves in the hot work what is the sneeze what is in your own why do we shiver when were cold theres no stopping the road and also because he was such an insatiable polymath he also taught us a lot about the integration of these different disciplines and to think that this was all 500 years ago. But here we are 500 years ahead and there has been a discussion of that he was such a genius and he maybe had a ph d. This attention deficit hyperactivity sort of what you say. I think hes sure he frustrated a lot of people who commissioned him to do work he sometimes he took years to finish things sometimes he never finished things he even got you know got slack from the pope the pope got on his case he was employed for 3 years by the vatican and then after 3 years they said thats enough and the pope said of him alas this man will never do and never do anything for he begins by thinking of the end of the work before the beginning so he was in that he was in the torrijos extensive plan a starting and not finishing he was also left handed and theres also evidence to suggest that he was dyslexic and both of these things are associated with 80 h. D. Ok but despite all this frustration from people things dont get finished he did get loads of commissions that did me because he was so good when he wasnt a rich man but he was constantly working and he was working on a huge of a of things from designing pageants to designing peoples bathrooms as far as his inventions go some of that is disputed a fair amount of that is still disputed while his artistic work is well documented his some of his scientific stuff is not so well documented a german author mathias called he doubts whether he was responsible for all the inventions that are tributed to him and he also says that they didnt all work there is a tank for example which functions by a crank and and echo says that the crank actually means that the wheels turn in the wrong direction ok so lets find out about this side more about this sort of leonardo. As something that was brought to our attention in the 19th twenties by a rather infamous. It was in the early 20th century that the image of labor nardo as inventor which he himself never claimed to be 1st emerged driven by Benito Mussolini to support his fascist ideology the dictator recast davinci as a universal genius and a leading figure ever talian creative strength was done and was initiated an exhibition not just initiated he ordered it to be and it was done and for that exhibition models were created from the vinci sketches for the 1st time. Models that simply ignored errors in the original sketches the exhibition travelled from milan to the us cemented japan where it was destroyed in an air raid last only how amazingly the exhibition is gone mostly need is gone is gone. To the cult of leonardo d. M. Venter has remained mute this if enough leonardo is complete and that mythology continues to this day ringback. Now melissa we dont know how many paintings as i said 15 or so you think it could be 20 theres lots of discussion about that but he did have these books notebooks 7000 pages of drawings and inventions and all that stuff in his novels but really still love as a painter yeah and still there is some doubt about some of those his famous paintings so bottle monday has had a long history and for a long time it was lost and then it was found again and some experts doubt whether its a real division they sought the position of the of the city and they also saw the lack of landscape in the background some say its probably from the davinci workshop and the davinci might have had his hand in that he might have said he might have painted the hair or something but a real davinci no its still sold at a whopping 4. 450000000. 00 at auction made in the i mean you name davinci just and snopes to it so the price of anything doesnt yeah it sure does and some experts say that that is partly because of the timing with davinci and things being able to be copied at the time that sort of as also contributed to how well we know him and his fame ok now lets have a look then at his most famous work of course were talking about the priceless wrong the mona lisa. Leonardo da vinci spent more than 3 years painting portraits of the young one an art historian still dont know exactly who she was. Her contours are soft and undefined vinci called this technique. Which means in the manner of smoke. Her eyes seem to fall of the viewer her smile is but the slightest suggestion. For hands rest patiently one on top of the other they are not gossip they can make big division shes brilliant technique and his ability to contrast light and dark and the piece life. Mona lisa sits upright when you get the sense she is about to smile when you put all the opposite that shes closing her mouth we dont know one senses that she might want to Say Something when communicating. The original is on show in paris france its been on permanent display at the loo for museum for more than 200 years. Shes house on the 1st floor in room 6 of the dental tech denying think kane and bullet proof glass. Information initial. The mona lisa is the one painting in the louvre that Everyone Wants to see more sexual now every day between 2030000 sometimes 50000 people would come to see her or at least try to see her. Here. With 50000 visitors you have to be pretty patients try and get a close look i push him. Her secret smile is timeless and mona lisa has become a modern icon of western art her face never goes out of style. Shes got to be the most famous woman in the world yet and people still dont know who she is exactly and why she was painted she has this mystical. Secret aura and i think thats part of the reason why shes so compelling of the people who use her images image advertisers and what have you i think they dont want us to find out the secret behind the mona lisa its also a great image because theres an element of promise there its like shes coming for shes not sort of coming forward and shes not really going back there is something in between that were looking at the great to tune. The environmentalist he she is as mona lisa. I think they chose said because they probably think that his slot is a little bit like mine. But i think greatest lalas much sweeter than mine.
