<p>This essay explores the complex interplay between Leonardo da Vinci’s genius and Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theories, as initiated in Freud’s work&#xa0;<i>Leonardo Da Vinci and A Memory of His Childhood</i>. The analysis critiques Freud’s attempt to interpret Leonardo’s creativity and personality through the lens of repressed sexuality and its sublimation into artistic and scientific achievements. Highlighting Freud’s methodological shortcomings—such as reducing Leonardo’s multifaceted life to a singular sexual dimension—the essay nonetheless acknowledges his significant contributions to the art-psychoanalysis discourse. Through a nuanced reevaluation of Leonardo’s life and works, the study underscores his boundless curiosity, interdisciplinary talents, and innovative approaches to art and science. While Freud’s interpretations often conflated biographical details with artistic symbolism, the essay advocates for a perspective that appreciates Leonardo’s eccentricities, including his fragmented working style, as intrinsic to his genius. This approach rejects reductive interpretations, presenting Leonardo’s eclecticism and creative dispersions as defining qualities of his mastery. By framing Leonardo’s oeuvre as a synthesis of form, imagination, and exploration, the essay ultimately posits that his «unfinished» legacy reflects the perpetual motion of an unparalleled creative mind, offering insights into the anatomy of genius and the complex dynamics between art and identity.</p>
