A man for all centuries

Martin Davey 1
PMCID: PMC80450

The CMAJ editorial of 11 July 2000 misplaces Leonardo da Vinci, "the 17th-century artist and visionary"1 by about a century: Kenneth Clark cites him as living from 1452 to 1519.2

Fortunately, Leonardo's statements and your comments on them are relevant without reference to dates.
