Walter Isaacson’s Leonardo Da Vinci

[LoveNDino]

Just started reading...

The author was marveling at the to-do list of a young Leonardo. On page 6, ithe book claims that on Leonardo’s list:

“Go every Saturday to the hot baths where you will see naked men.”

Glad to know I have at least one thing in common with LDV.

Looks interesting

 

It is said that a young Leonardo was the model for Verrocchio's David

I bought it and it is sitting in my stack of book that will probably remain unread for a while. It got great reviews so it may inch its way up quicker than I thought. If Leonardo was going to the baths on Saturday to see naked men, I wonder if he was doing anything of a similar nature the other six days.
