It’s really funny how when you see a different artist’s version of the scene you are actually surprised…as if only Da Vinci ever painted it! And then when you do realize that, the mind downgrades the others and you think, oh, that’s still not The Da Vinci…Pavlov would nod knowingly at that reaction. There ARE many fine versions (but still Da Vinci stands out).
Thirty-one more tomorrow—but the world has had half a millennium to settle on ol’ Leo’s.
