As a great admirer of Leonardo of 20+ years, I ran across this clip today and am watching it with great interest. Will probably post more comments, perhaps later. On the first 15 min or so, it is wrong to say he was taken up/worked on the Sforza horse/monument for 17 years. He moved to Milan in 1482-83, was "given" the contract for the sculpture in about 1487-'89; the project basically died (1494) when Ludovico Sforza decided to have the many tons of bronze earmarked for the sculpture, used to make cannons.
Finished the rest of the lecture. Quite convincing from about 25 min. onwards and re the Beading of John the Baptist. Was very impressed by the close up of the left sleeve of Tobias, with light reflecting of it. Both would be contributions of Leonardo, either in his late teens, or early twenties. Pity that no sculptures from the hand of a mature/older Leonardo seems to have come down to us.
What an imagination trying to convince people that Leonardo was a sculptor. For an almost impossible mission your imagination may convince some Leonardo fans. That is not my case, sorry. For the most part of the lecture I was feeling in a surreal atmosphere. Only one of the two titles of the lecture is correct that is : what would look like....(if ever existed one).
