Leonard Da Vinci was a strange man, in fact the people of Florence where he grew up felt he was an awkward young man, but you know? Everything he did had a purpose for it, just like he always bought birds in order release them. People thought he was crazy but he was studying the technicalities of the flight of bird.

@josediccus everything new during those times was looked at with skepticism. Anyone bringing up a new theory or dare to contradict another scientist risked to be accused of being a charlatan and killed.

@blinova, interesting analysis, I admire you for having the patience and interest to do this. I've been to Paris, I've seen the painting with my own eyes but haven't had the pleasure to study it up close because this is (most likely) the most famous painting at the Louvre and there's always a huge crowd in front of the painting. Leonardo was a great mind, no question about it. I'd bring him back to life (and not only him) to see what his art means now and also would give him a couple of years to study , to work and to experiment everything that's new. I would also ask him to look at your analysis and have a debate with you! What do you say?
