Renaissance Cats from Second Life Kittycats

Renaissance Cats from Second Life Kittycats

I decided to go back in time and reach for the Renaissance. So what do you think?

Leonardo da Vinci almost Painted a Cat

One of the greatest renaissance artists Leonardo Da Vinci had great plans to paint Madonna and Child with a cat but the cat wasn’t cooperating.  He couldn’t get past the sketching phase. I can feel the cat struggling to get away from the toddler’s grasp; What do you think?

The Artbreeder steampunk cat image at the top evolved in Artbreeder from the phrase “Tudor cats” with this image
