and the mona lisa was sort of the culmination of the painting started around 1503. but when he dies, it's by his bedside because he's still putting the the tiniest layers of glaze. he used the science of optics to figure out the lips and the science of anatomy and he even knew that the light coming in directly to your eye hitting the center of the retina sees the detail, but in the corner of the retina sees th the shadow. so he's doing little glazes at the corner of the lips of the mona lisa so the details go straight but the shadows turn up by means as your eyes move across her face the smile flickers, it's an elusive smile. but this look layer after layer, year after year of the lightest touches. >> rose: was he the dominant presence culturally of his time? >> yes. by the end of his life he is indeed leonardo da vinci. he is known quite a bit as an engineer. even though the accomplishments and flying machines never flew well. part was he was a theater producer. one thing i learned from his notebooks, he was underplayed as joseph pap and empra emprasario. he wants
