I like this idea a lot, but there seems to be a problem in the body mid-section.

He's wearing clothes . . . da Vinci's work, not mine. St. Jerome isn't one of the best known da Vinci works, which is why I linked to the original.

Ah, then one of two things, I a mouse, dare critique Da Vinci the Lion....or someone has doctored that original jpeg. If you look at it the darkened area has very clean sharp lines, and more telling does not fit at all under the arm. Not critical at all of your chop 9in fact I like it a lot), but that original sucks.

DocMinor

In fairness to da Vinci, St. Jerome is an unfinished work and da Vinci did it while still in his twenties. For those who don't like it, at least it may be comforting to know that everybody gets better with practice.

DudleyDidereaux

Yes, I looked that up as well. That offending dark layer is the undercoating for the ol' saints hide. Gads, Smeagols mug was an improvement, Jerry was one ugly character. As I said wasn't criticizing your work which is excellent, but just knew something was amiss in that main painting...unfinished qualifies as amiss, I think.

We're lucky to still have the original - Originally in the Vatican collection it passed into the hands of Angelica Kaufmann. Supposedly it was then mislaid and someone cut it into two pieces. One section was converted into a table top while a shoemaker used the other portion for the upper part of a stool.- lairweb.org.nz/leonardo/jerome
