Madonna with child, the holy Anna and Johannes
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)

"I tried to follow Leonardo many times, but I gave it up. I was to restless competing for the perfect and complete. Instead I decided to do all the mistakes. In my worship of Leonardo, lies the notion on the idea that the perfect is out there, but that I can't reach it before I go down on all four and pray for mercy. I couldn't take that road.."
