Did he find any popes in there?

Da Vinci was a very skilled artist with the human anatomy but it was common knowledge that he couldn't draw lions worth a shiat.

Take another purple micro-dot. This time chase it down with some red bull.

Obviously this means Opus Dei is a secret society of furries.

cough*bullshiat*cough

These Da Vinci sightings always crack me up. Most of the evidence points to the fact that Da Vinci didn't paint most of his artwork. He didn't have the education, training, or resources to have accomplished what has been erroneously attributed to him. Most credible sources identify Andrea del Verrocchio as the true artist. I don't know why or how history mangles the facts, but at least it's consistent!

Heaven forbid it was just art, or the bigger stretch that any thing concelead was some vast church/state/European conspiracy trip. Maybe he was merely homosexual in a time when that meant your life and he was expressing, or revealing bits of it art. It's a tough choice to make though, was he involved in the abstract mathematics carried forward from the Templars found in God's pantry in Jerusalem during the crusades? A form of math that could bust open the seams of the universe and prove once and for all god did not exist and Jesus was just a really, really good mathematician, or he was homosexual? Part of me says homosexual but it's very hard indeed to doubt supermath too.

Wow, haven't thought of him in years!

All I see are penises.

So the Mona Lisa is just a really old Magic Eye picture? Riiiiiiiight.

Ezio approves

I see a bear, a ram, and a cameltoe myself.

Grables'Daughter: Does anyone have a link - I couldn't find it... there is a drawing that Da Vinci did of a hand and foot - and if you pull back from it you can see that it is a self portrait of Da Vinci himself.

Anyone?

This? (new window)

I am hating several teachers I had right about now. Their pet peeve was when people called Leonardo "Da Vinci". As at that time, it was not his last name, but where he was from. Leonardo da Vinci is literally Leonardo from Vinci.

But nobody cares. So again, I curse those teachers for implanting that pet peeve in me.

Da vinci Paints sideways! The Sun is there!

oh I see it

I think that was the inside cover of a Mad magazine.

She's holding a cell phone?!?!

Oh great. Now we've uncovered my other pet peeve: people with pet peeves with people with pet peeves about minutia.

It's called pareidolia.

Or a band that plays at fraternities.

Heh. So much the worse for the facts.

Grables'Daughter: Is it possible that Da Vinci just painted the portrait of a woman?

Stop with your facts and reasoning! This is Fark dammit!

This.

I found clouds can look like anything in your imagination, more fun if helped by other substances.

Mugato: I'm not art lover, not by a long shot. I'm not even an art liker. But I never understood what was so great about the Mona Lisa.

/likes H.R. Giger and Dali

Well, Leonardo supposedly painted it on commission, and then refused to part with it. And kept it with him all the time, and said it was his favorite work.

It's weird, and people assume they're missing something, because otherwise it's a well done but otherwise unimpressive small portrait.

/personally a fan of the "self portrait as a woman" theory

It was at that point that he noticed the lion's head hovering in the air above her head.

I figured the lion was the one over her shoulder.

spentmiles: Andrea del Verrocchio as the true artist. I

Verrochio was the artist to whom Leonardo apprenticed himself from about the age of 18. Verrochio was quite a bit older, and nowhere near the artist than Leonardo was. Also, what education really does it take to be an artist? It's nothing one can't learn on their own. Indeed the big deal in Leonardo's day was learning how to make paint since it all had to be made from scratch.

Mugato: But I never understood what was so great about the Mona Lisa.

Until the 20th century? No one else really did either.

Paging Dan Brown.......

How likely is it that Da Vinci ever saw a buffalo?

The Mona Lisa reminds me of a Mexican woman, dressed in old shiat, who forgot her sharpie at home the day she was getting her portrait painted.

Mugato: So I'm not a complete Philistine. Well I am but not because of that.

The Mona Lisa has a bit of an interesting history to it. It's one of those paintings that no one much paid attention for a few centuries, before someone decided it was really awesome. One of the messed up parts about art museums, that they really don't like anyone bringing up, is the reverse situation. Where you have a painting that everyone drools over when it's created and even for a long time afterwards but then people lose interest and it ends up among the thousands of works of art a museum keeps in storage never to be seen.
