yeah but Leonardo was gay, unlike Australina GQ who prefers not to disclose his sexuality.
| quote: | When examining Leonardo's relationships much speculation has been made concerning the nature of his relationships with his pupils, Salai and Melzi. Since the 16th century it has been claimed that there was a strongly erotic element to his relationship with Salai. This is supported by a number of erotic drawings depicting the youth. Melzi claimed that Leonardo's feelings for him were of a passionate nature. That Leonardo deeply loved both the young men, encouraging their gifts and indulging their whims, is beyond question. They appear to have been the two most significant emotional attachments of his life.
In 1476, while living in the workshop of Verrocchio, Leonardo was accused anonymously of sodomy with a 17 year-old model, Jacopo Saltarelli, a youth already known to the authorities for his sexual escapades with men. After two months of investigation he was acquitted, ostensibly because no witnesses stepped forward though others claim it was due to his father's respected position.[8] For some time afterwards, Leonardo and the others were kept under observation by Florence's Officers of the Night as shown by surviving legal records of the Podestà and the Officers of the Night.
Leonardo's alleged love of boys was to become a topic of discussion, speculation and literature as early as the 16th century and was fictionalised in "Il Libro dei Sogni" (The Book of Dreams), an imaginary dialogue on l'amore masculino (male love, or masculine love) written by the contemporary art critic and theorist Gian Paolo Lomazzo, an acquaintance of Francesco Melzi. Leonardo appears as one of the protagonists in the book and declares, "Know that male love is exclusively the product of virtue which, joining men together with the diverse affections of friendship, makes it so that from a tender age they would enter into the manly one as more stalwart friends."
In the dialogue, the interlocutor inquires of Leonardo about his relations with his assistant, il Salaino, "Did you play the game from behind which the Florentines love so much?" Leonardo answers, "And how many times! Keep in mind that he was a beautiful young man, especially at about fifteen." |
