I get sent lots of these lists, which I usually ignore as most of them aren’t that interesting. However, this the top 10 most unfinished works of art- is a bit more unusual- so here it is.
I’m not surprised that Leonardo tops the unfinished pops with his celebrated Adoration of the Magi, followed by his aborted equestrian monument for Milan. Da Vinci made a career out of the incomplete, so it’s right he should be right at the top. Closing off the list is Mozart’s Requiem. Of course lists like this raise the question of what is unfinished, and what is not. See what you think.
What about Giorgione's "Dresden Venus" ? Also, Michelangelo left a number of statues unfinished.
