The History of Leonardo’s Milan Vineyard
About 13 years after Leonardo moved to Milan, the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, commissioned Leonardo to paint The Last Supper in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The project took Leonardo several years to complete, and it is said that Sforza had hoped to eventually make the elaborate church the Sforza family’s mausoleum. In 1499, Ludovico Sforza gave Leonardo the vineyard, on a plot of land just across the street from Santa Maria delle Grazie. Later that same year, French troops invaded the Duchy of Milan. They imprisoned the Duke, Leonardo’s patron, causing Leonardo to leave Milan.
After Leonardo’s departure from Milan, the vineyards were leased by the father of Leonardo’s former apprentice, Gian Giacomo Caprotti, nicknamed Salai. Shortly thereafter, they were confiscated by the French. In 1507, the vineyard was returned to Leonardo, thanks to the intervention of Charles II of Amboise, the French king’s lieutenant in Italy.
While Leonardo did return to Milan for several additional years, he spent the last three years of his life at Clos Lucé, dying there in 1519. In his will, he left equal shares of the Milan vineyards to his apprentice, Salai, and to one of his most loyal servants, Giovanbattista Villani. About five years later, Salai ended up being killed during a duel, supposedly in or near the vineyard.
In the centuries that followed, the vineyard changed hands multiple times, being donated, sold, and virtually abandoned, along with the Casa degli Atellani, the dignified home adjacent to the vineyard. In the 1920s, fire and poor city planning further took their toll, causing the vineyard to disappear.
During World War II, the Casa degli Atellani, its gardens and the vineyards suffered more damage during Allied bombing campaigns. Resulting building rubble buried what was left of the vineyard site.
In 2014, after several years of research and speculation, the fragments of the vineyard’s roots were located, allowing scientists to analyze them in a laboratory setting and determine the exact variety: Malvasia di Candia Aromatica.
As Shawn and I looked at the baby vines behind the Casa degli Atellani, we tried to imagine the Renaissance master tending to his vineyard in that very spot centuries ago.
What remains to be seen is if any wine will eventually be produced from the Malvasia vines now thriving in this historic setting.

A neon thing at the museum of science and industry. They don't allow tripods inside so I shot this at like a 25th of a second and held as still as possible and it only took me 5 shots to get all the lights.
Primary and three nodes of secondary grades in Davinci Resolve. The primary was just a levels check for proper ranges of shadows and highlights and contrast adjustment. A touch of brightness added to the face with a face tracking Power Window. A color picker was sufficient enough for the dress and curtains.

Doing fashion is a hard thing, espacially if this only the second Top I'll made, the last a lot easier. It will be two parts, a tank top and bermudashirts in a complete hommage to Leonardo Da Vinci. While this is everyday clothing and going to be given away as freebee, its the start of a series of art inspired fashion that'll be quite haut couture
