The Myth of da Vinci
Q: What do you think can be gleaned from the actual record of Leonardo's works?
They show a revolutionary approach using the oil medium that is incredibly exacting and time-consuming, reflecting Leonardo's broad interests beyond painting.
The Myth of da Vinci
Q: Why are there so many biographies of Leonardo?
Because the state of knowledge of Leonardo, despite the 7,000 pages of notes, is so lack-who-knows, there's so many gaps.

Art and literature serve as a powerful connection and reflection of our own humanity, providing depth to my characters.
Julianne Moore
Q: What does home mean to you and how do you make one?
For me, home is about having a partner and a family, making a conscious effort to create a meaningful life and space to share with that partner and children.
