History of caricatures
•Leonardo Da Vinci was fascinated by people with differently shaped heads, curious faces and
unusual features. He would turn them into tragi-comic figures
•“[Leonardo Da Vinci] was so delighted when he saw curious heads, whether bearded or hairy, that he
would follow anyone who had thus attracted his attention for a whole day, acquiring such a clear
idea of him that when he went home he would draw the head as well as if the man had been present.’
(Giorgio Vassari, 16th century).
