>>understanding the man makes where he may have been coming from given the politics of the time and how he would have been percieved during hsi time being who and what he was played into not only his thought process and the way his art was perceived by peple then as compared to now.<<
That I do get. I mean there was a good one on another channel about Titan, and large chunks of it were about how his paintings made him popular in the Hapsburg royal court, meaning that they took him on as their official painter, meaning he had pretty much a job for life so he could try experimental techniques.
Good point about the way families affect art :)
>>And having said that I do agree that right now at this point unless you are really getting into the artists process or delving into the why instead of the what he did that those two statments dont really matter. :)<<
I think that's part of the problem, I fear they are only using this to get Mark Rylance (the actor portraying Leonardo) naked. Something which I am in favour of normally, but I like it to be purposeful nekkidness. :)
