Did you know that within Leonardo's lifetime, his extraordinary powers of invention, his "great physical beauty" and "infinite grace," as described by Vasari, as well as all other aspects of his life, attracted the curiosity of others. One such aspect was his love for animals, likely including vegetarianism and according to Vasari, a habit of purchasing caged birds and releasing them.

Among the qualities that make Leonardo's work unique are his innovative techniques for laying on the paint; his detailed knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology; his interest in physiognomyand the way humans register emotion in expression and gesture; his innovative use of the human form in figurative composition; and his use of subtle gradation of tone.

All these qualities come together in his most famous painted works, the Mona Lisa, the Last Supper, and the Virgin of the Rocks.

I saw his “Last Supper” at Cenacolo Venciano

I don't believe he started projects just to say, well I'll set it aside. As a contractor in the US you started the project with x amount of money and as the project concludes at certain stages you collect x amount of money. However if you cannot pay at any given stage you stop the project until money is paid. You do not through them away, you set them aside because you already have time and material invested. Where is your proof he just starts projects only to stop because of lack of interest, lazy or maybe didn't have time. I serjest this is just speculation on your part.

Truth in plain sight! Leonardo DaVinci Paintings
🦁If you calculate this year 2022 minus the year the 1st Mona Lisa died 1542=480 years, the same amount of time from Exodus to the rebuild of the new temple in the bible.The 2nd Mona Lisa is the Bride of Christ, Queen of Heaven & earth, Asherah, Sophia, Jesus, Lioness of Judah- The Mona Lisa 2nd -
🦁the initials in her eye is her name initials
🦁the V & 5 sceneries are the 5 places the 2nd Lisa has lived in after marriage. 🦁The 12 pins firstly in a shape of a cup represents her surname
🦁secondly around her head in X-ray represents 12 stars just like in Revelation the woman with 12 stars signifying her holiness.
🦁The right hand over the left signifies she is the right hand of God.
🦁The number under the bridge 75 is the year son of God was born in human form & the year she was snatched away Revelation 12:5
🦁His other paintings link the Mona Lisa to them as well, the crab sketch represents her star sign Cancer.
🦁The ferret and lady represents what the 2nd Mona Lisa was called as a child.
🦁Portrait of a woman represents her eldest daughter.  Her youngest daughter is painted as saint Anne(True Royal Bloodline)
🦁The last Supper shows a chalice cup is her surname.
🦁The twist in her fabric on her shoulder represents Gods humour & twist to the biblical story, savior is female this time.
🦁Her mother’s name is Marianne.

I’ve heard that Leonardo was dyslexic and also perhaps homosexual but this doc didn’t mention either of these.

If he wanted to improve his painting he could have tried painting eyelashes for one thing🤪
