A cool illustration of Leonardo by Joost Swarte, from a January 2005 New Yorker article that helped put Leonardo into perspective while reviewing several contemporary books about him.
His genius and skill does seem beyond belief, but I think our world was just lucky; also that his father took an interest in him, and set him on the right road, or who knows how his talents may have been undiscovered or wasted.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Interesting concept. Might have to look up that article as well when I get the chance.
