“Leonardo’s work producing theatrical pageants was enjoyable and remunerative, but it also served a larger purpose. It required him to execute his fantasies. Unlike paintings, performances had real deadlines. They had to be ready when the curtains parted. He could not cling to them and seek to perfect them indefinitely. Isaacson, Walter. Leonardo da Vinci (p. 116). Simon & Schuster. Kindle Edition. ”
