Additional quotes by Walter Isaacson

Vision without execution is hallucination. .. Skill without imagination is barren. Leonardo [da Vinci] knew how to marry observation and imagination, which made him history’s consummate innovator.

The recent cleaning of the painting fully reveals the magical realism, veiled in vapors, of his distant mountains and skyline.
