Default Great Masters

I bought a book that i thought many people interested in art would enjoy.

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The...771464/?itm=21

Its a wonderful book about many italian artists.

I was also wondering how many people are interesting in the Renaissance art? I am a big fan of that era, especially the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, and all his other great discoveries.

Have this DVD of Leonardo da Vinci's life. Molto interessante.
In the documentary it shows how Leonardo and Michaelangelo detested each another. Purtroppo perche they could have accomplised a lot together.
A proposito, both Leonardo and Michelangelo were gay. Not that there is anything worong with that.

I think part of his genius was due to his diversity from all other people, and to his strange mind.

If you look at history, most genius's had some sort of psychological disorder. Most of them probably used more than 10% of their brain, and i unfortunately i think there's some negatives to having that gift.

Here are some examples of genius's with anxiety problems
