Breaking Home Ties Critical Analysis Breaking Home Ties is one of many paintings by Norman Rockwell. It was created in 1954 and since then has been a well known painting to artists and art critics.

This particular quote personally stands out to me because da Vinci never let up on learning until the day he died, he just always kept it up. This love of learning, consequently, cultivated his fascination and close studies of the human anatomy. Da Vinci…
