And that is not the ultimate in art to me. (Even worse along these lines: Poussin. Leonardo at least pays some attention to emotions.) Of course I have also trained myself over the years to remove my personal taste from judging quality. He's high quality left-brain "art". And the opposite, extreme right-brain art, is the stuff that would usually make most people go "wow". So while I totally get why a Bill Gates type would be gaga over Leonardo, what I am not sure of  to this day is the reason masses appreciate him.
