ago, and which last month disappeared mysteriousy from the Louvre,
the great art museum of Paris. A reward Of 500 has been offered
for the picture. Millions of money could not have bought it. Its
authenticity, like its fascinating charm, has never been challenged.
Only a few other important paintings by Leonardo exist to-day, but
one Of these is "The Last Supper at Milan, which a universal con-
sensus of appreciation would undoubtedly crown as the worlds great
cot pictorial masterpiece.
The point is, that no chance happening has made the fame and
value of the "Mona Lisa" 1t required the great man, son of o golden
age, to paint the great picture.
Leonardo da Vinci Q452- 1919 lived in the full flush of that
Renaissance or new birth period of the revival Of art, science and
letters in Italy, which spread through Western Europe, and brought
forth such epochmakng achievements as the discovery of America
and the invention of printing. Leonardo was a live man Of his time
He was not only an artist but a scientist. an inventor, a %pubicist, poet
and philosopher as we'll What he would be if he were living to-day it
is useless to speculate, because that order of genius in our twentieth
century finds expression in activities so different from those Of the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that we should probably fail to rec
ognze in them even the remotest kinship to the painter of the "Mona
Lisa and "The Last supper" Probably he would not be a fashionable
portrait painter, nor a successful competitor for academic prizes and
mural decorative commissions. O.
But in his philosophy-as strikingy illustrated in some recently
compiled selections from his manuscripts-he belongs with the minds
Of light and leading of all times. Here are a few sentences which,
ike his treasured sketches, all compress something of the soul of
the man:
"Life well spent is long"
CAL our knowledge originates in opinions"
"The line that is straightest offers mos. resistance"
"You do i'll if you praise, but worse il you censure. what you do
not rightly understand"
