4EASY ON THE EYES

We usually picture mad geniuses as badly dressed and a bit rough around the edges, but this was not the case here.

Leonardo is described as having been very good looking, tall with a good physique. He was thought to be vain and kept his hair and his beard long even in old age (the trend at the time was to have it all cut short). He was always elegantly dressed, choosing creative clothing in vibrant colours. Whereas his contemporaries used to wear dark and sombre clothing he preferred a youthful short tunic.
