Talk:Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo appears to never have had intimate relations with women and was once anonymously accused of homosexual contact with a 17 year old model, but considering that the same was said of Michelangelo and of other artists too, this seems to be more a popular legend than a fact, originated perhaps because of detailed frequent paintings or sculpting of naked men.

What was said of Michelangelo? That he didn't have relations with women and that he was anonymously accused of homosexual relations? What exactly is being dismissed as legend here? I tried a different phrasing. --AxelBoldt

From the main page:

It is been proven that he is not homosexual at all.

Lacking more information about this proof, I removed this sentence. AxelBoldt

Seeing Zoe's deletion about the unfinished monumental horse in Milan, perhaps it would be a good idea to list da Vinci's accomplishments, separated into completed & proposed. (da Vinci had a long list of incomplete projects, which suggest to me that he had ADD. -- llywrch

EH? I didn't delete anything about the horse, it's still there. -- Zoe

Er, well, when I was looking at the history of the article to see what you changed, I thought I saw that you deleted that paragraph. I looked again: it is in the current version. Sorry for the mistake. -- llywrch

Does anybody know by whom and when da Vinci's portrait was drawn? AxelBoldt 21:38 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
