"I have seen Leonardo go early in the morning to work on the Last Supper. There he would stay from sunrise to darkness, never laying down the brush, but continuing to paint without eating or drinking.

Then three or four days would pass without his touching the work, yet each day he would spend several hours examining it and criticizing the figures.

I have also seen him leave the Corte Vecchia when he was at work on the stupendous horse and go straight to the Grazie. There he would take a brush and give a few touches to one of the figures and leave."
