Is it a still life?
This object fossilizes a moment of intimacy in a couple. Such a photo, Leonardo is moment of life who testifies a story, a fossil living formally animated the time of a meal by souls, we can still perceive the movements and the feelings in the immobility. And so form does not follow anymore the function, it follows the feelings then the emotional prevails on the functional. Leonardo is ode to love.
