Tim,

Which Da Vinci's exactly? Can you post the pictures with your comments? It's hard to understand how you came to such a conclusion.

When you say, 'when did painting mature' then do you believe that it is still in the mature state?

I personally think 'The Syndics' by Rembrandt is as mature as the art of painting can possibly get. Bouguereau does not even come close... in my humble opinion.

After giving it some thought I wanted to edit this post and add that I think I agree with Tom. Van Eyck wasn't a less mature painter than Rembrandt. I personally just don't understand the very high regard some people have for Bouguereau. Maybe an idea for another thread?
