Don’t buy into the fraud that gaysters push that Leonardo was gay. No evidence that Salai was his “lover.” He was a street kid who he took in as a student and gofer. He had many students as did all artists at that time. His notebooks clearly state that Salai was a real troublemaker and he eventually died in a barroom brawl. Leonardo, actually, wrote that he hated acts of sexuality.
Otherwise, this thread is hilarious!
OK.
You make a valid point.
I was only going on my limited reading of their relationship.
Too limited, perhaps, I confess!
It seems that Leonardo willed all his works to ‘Salai,’ rather than his brothers when he died, though, so that seemed suspicious. As does Salai’s continued presence through all his travels. But maybe artists do that, or did then.
I don’t care. Leonardo’s art is all that matters.
