Goal: Question and re-think pre-conceived notions of Leonardo da Vinci that are not supported by an objective analysis.
To accomplish this goal it is our intention to:
1. Study his writings and works based upon the science and mathematics of his time.
2. Theorize as to the purpose and meaning of his writings and works based upon this analysis.
3. Objectively analyze each theory using the technology of today.
4. Elicit objective and scientific opinions from experts inside and outside of the artistic community.
5. Publish the findings, clearly identifying that which is objectively proven, and that which is a subjective opinion.
6. Invite further objective analysis and study of the findings.
LeonardosHands.com is excited and proud to begin this process with Il Mancino!
