And you :
that, do you ?know enough about the subject to tell me
I must have missed your incisive analysis of the use of sfumato in the works of da Vinci, and his purported lack of grasp of contrapposto and chiaroscuro in comparison with, say, Correggio and Michelangelo.

You're doing a fair enough job of proving my point on bias.

No-one thinks Confucius or any other Asian thinker was a genius? A bit surprising, but perhaps at the same time a manifestation of the under representation of the Asians at this board.Que l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.

Because you claimed that the answer was obvious. I don't really care who you think that obvious answer is; your assertion is wrong.Originally posted by Vince278

Still sounds biased. No matter. Perhaps the debate as a whole would benefit if everyone can agree on what defines "genius".Originally posted by KrazyHorse

That you disagree with something does not automatically make it wrong.

As breakthroughs in art go, sfumato lags some way behind the earlier developments in perspective. Da Vinci's fame largely revolves around a cult of celebrity, rather than actual analysis of what he did.Originally posted by molly bloom
