Well, for me this is not only about WB-it's about the time. The greatest marble mansion was "built upon" knowledge gained from making the first lean-to. I was recently looking at a couple of Da Vinci's and they were really weak.I know this sounds like heresy to some. But look at the works w/o the influence of your youth.

I'd restate that some great stuff was being made in 1630 by some real exceptional artists. I also agree that what is now, is, because of what came before. I don't mean slick surfaces, when I say mature painting.
