Leonardo da Vinci...








































Da Vinci was an Italian polymathpaintersculptorarchitectmusicianscientist,mathematicianengineerinventoranatomistgeologistcartographerbotanist and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote".Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.























Da Vinci most noticeable paintings are the lat supper and the Monalisa.
As well as being arguably the greatest painter of all time his journals and inventions were of most interest to me.






























I documentary I watched to gain an insight into Da Vinci.





I really like the visuals in this video the style is something I might replicate.
