Duhh, haven't you seen the paintings?!  That must be proof, after all--someone HAD to have seen it to have painted Him doing it right?

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was a Renaissance artist, sculptor and poet.\n\n \nMichelangelo Buonarroti, by Marcello Venusti.Michelangelo is famous for creating the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as well as the Last Judgment over the altar, and The Martyrdom of St. Peter and The Conversion of St. Paul in the Vatican's Cappella Paolina; among his many sculptures are those of David and the Pietà, as well as the big man Doni Virgin, Bacchus, Moses, Rachel, Leah, and members of the Medici family; he also designed the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.\n\nand \n\nLeonardo da Vinci\nArtist / Scientist\nLeonardo da Vinci is best remembered as the painter of the Mona Lisa (1503-1506) and The Last Supper (1495). But he's almost equally famous for his astonishing multiplicity of talents: he dabbled in architecture, sculpture, engineering, geology, hydraulics and the military arts, all with success, and in his spare time doodled parachutes and flying machines that resembled inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries. He made detailed drawings of human anatomy which are still highly regarded today. Leonardo also was quirky enough to write notebook entries in mirror (backwards) script, a trick which kept many of his observations from being widely known until decades after his death. \nExtra credit: Leonardo da Vinci means "Leonardo from the town of Vinci," and thus he is generally referred to in short as "Leonardo" rather than as "da Vinci"... He received a fresh burst of public interest in 2003 with the publication of The Da Vinci Code, the bestselling thriller by author Dan Brown.\n\nLeonardo da Vinci joins U.S. president James Garfield in our loop Upside Down and Backwards.\n\nOther multi-talented types include Michelangelo, Blaise Pascal, Thomas Edison and Bucky Fuller.\n\nand\n\n(1452-1519)\nDiscover Leonardo da Vinci, a man well beyond his time.

Leonardo da Vinci was a renaissance painter, architect, engineer, mathematician and philosopher, a genius the world has never seen again so far.\nStart your virtual journey in Anchiano (Italy) where Leonardo da Vinci was born in April 1452.  \n  "Leonardo da Vinci was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep" \nSigmund Freud   \nStart in the year 1452 and discover the enigma of his genius.

LONDON (Reuters) - A 400-year-old painting previously believed to be that of a woman has been found to portray the male patron and friend of William Shakespeare, its owner said on Tuesday. \n\n\n  \nThe picture of the Earl of Southampton, featuring a figure with long, black curly hair, pursed red lips, an earring and a slender right hand, has prompted speculation in British media that Shakespeare was gay. \n\n"He is wearing perfectly fashionable male attire of the day, but the earring and the hair are effeminate and unusual for the 1590s," the painting's owner Alec Cobbe told Reuters. \n\nHe said that his family had assumed for centuries that the picture was of a Lady Norton. \n\nBut after discovering links between his own family and the Southamptons and a striking resemblance between the portrait and other representations of the 3rd Earl of Southampton, Cobbe was convinced that it is Shakespeare's friend and frequent host. \n\nScholars have long argued that Southampton was the handsome young man in his late teens to whom an early sequence of Shakespeare's sonnets was addressed. \n\nThe painting is dated to around 1590, when Shakespeare was writing early sonnets including one to the "master-mistress of my passion." \n\n"It certainly illustrates that sonnet (number 20) very vividly. We are looking at the subject of the sonnet, I'm sure," said Cobbe. \n\nAlastair Laing, the National Trust's adviser on art, first suggested to Cobbe that the picture was of a male. \n\n"I was cataloguing this collection and realized that this was a young man with long hair, which one or two dandies of the time affected in this manner," he told Reuters. \n\nHe is also convinced that the picture is of Southampton, although he argued that the man was not necessarily affecting a female appearance, as a modern observer may assume. \n\n"This is a man but he is not a cross-dresser," Laing said. \n\n"He is not wearing lipstick -- some pigments just stand the passage of time better than others, giving this appearance. It is dangerous to assume anything about this man's character from this portrait." \n\nBritish newspapers have played up the significance of the discovery (news - web sites), with the mass circulation tabloid Sun headlining its story "Shakesqueer." \n\nBut even if the discovery of the portrait is much ado about nothing, it has proved effective publicity for the painting, which is now on show at Cobbe's stately home at Hatchlands Park in southern England.

Good question.  A chatting violation, I think, but thought-provoking nonetheless.\n\nMy first thought was the Mona Lisa.\nThen I thought I might prefer a sculpture.  So I was thinking along the lines of Venus de Milo or David.

No, Leonardo DaVinci was a man.\n\nMost scholars believe he was homosexual. The Mona Lisa being a self portrait - as you stated.

Can I please see these photographs as well?\n\nI viewed your source, and the pre-Colombian gold artifacts do look like airplanes, and the heiroglyphics do look like helicopters and a blimp. I didn't see a source for a jet fighter on rock (you probably meant gold) or pictures of ancient astronauts, or a picture of the space station on a rock in Persopolis. If you have a chance and remember where you saw them, please add the links. I don't know why the gold sculptures look so much like airplanes; we know that airplanes didn't exist back then so do you think the sculptor had some sort of vision? The picture of the heiroglyphics did not elaborate on them at all... at this point, with the information you gave me, it seems to be a very long stretch. Very long.

Your question caught my eye, forgive me for this large answer, but I enjoy writing.  I found a large print of Mona Lisa & got it  framed & matted & she is displayed in my living room, as my furnishings SCREAM Italian.  Green Natuzzi leather sofa, chair & ottoman. tan with marble shelf & smoke glass top tables, so tapestrys, I have the Divinci Code book & a Leonardo Divinci picture book on my coffee table. [not read] I have decorated around her.  I have always been fascinated with her picture as is my 86 year old mother, as no one knows who she really is! There is a big picture of her painted on the side of an old barn in Novi, Michigan.  It looks like she is coming out of the ground, as you drive around a curve. Scary! We used to go on Sunday drives just to see this when we were teens 30 years ago.  NO, Mona Lisa is NOT seriously overated; after all she is The Mona Lisa, a plain lady with a simple smirk on her face & they are now discovering that she could have been related to Jesus.  Just different theories. On display in France, the original picture is so small, it's quite a dissappointment.  BUT Most Importantly:  SHE'S MADE PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS!!!

At the age of 15 Leonardo had already mastered skills in the fine arts and the young man was sent to Florence to work as an apprentice in the renowned workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio. \n\nLeonardo worked with del Verrocchio until 1477, during which time del Verrocchio had been commissioned for a painting that would be The Baptism of Christ, and the painter had Leonardo aid him with the work by having his pupil paint the kneeling angel in the painting. Leonardo's angel was so outstanding that it shadowed del Verrocchio's portion of the work, and Leonardo is quoted to have later stated that "poor is a pupil that does not surpass his master." It is also said that Andrea del Verrocchio gave up his career as a painter, having suffered such humiliation by being out-painted by his own student.

Yes, Michelangelo was a very dedicated Catholic. You see he was commissioned to do many Catholic works of art, but it was up to him to lay out the paint and include the minute details.  You should read up on some of the beautiful inclusions he left in the biblical stories he would paint. He put his heart for Christ and his meditations on God into his art which are truly fascinating.\n\nThink of, for instance, the Last Judgement and look at the face of Christ and the stance of Peter who holds the keys.  There is an amazing interplay of emotion and speaks profoundly on the artists concept of the relationship the two had.\n\nOnly God creates. The rest of us just copy.\n\nLord grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.\n\nthese are the only two I can remember, but I am sorry they are not much of prayers from him.\n\np.s. He did not hate the Pope as one person asserted.  He was, however, annoyed by how the Pope forced him out of another project to start the Sistine Chapel and also kept him on past the initial terms of just painting the ceiling.\n\np.p.s. reading another answer that provides a cut and paste of M's life and asserts that his possible sin may have meant that he was not a 'born again' believer is a sad mistake by that person to believe that sin cannot be a part of the life of 'born again' believer.  Mich. did sin and so does the author of that response. It is not for us to judge someone's sin.
