Walter Isaacson Quote

While at Windsor Castle looking at the swirling power of the Deluge drawings that he made near the end of his life, I asked the curator, Martin Clayton, whether he thought Leonardo had done them as works of art or of science. Even as I spoke, I realized it was a dumb question. I do not think that Leonardo would have made that distinction, he replied.
