Leonardo Da Vinci was a
Renaissance well-rounded Italian: painter, sculptor, architect, musician,
mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, and etc. His intelligent was perhaps more than any
of other artists at the same
time. His existence is just a myth. He was
a man of "unquenchable curiosity", his knowledge was as deep as the
blue ocean and his interests were as many as the stars in the sky. According to
art historian Helen Gardner, "his mind and personality seem to us
superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". He came from a notary, Piero da Vinci,
and a peasant woman family,
Caterina, in Vinci in the region of Florence. In the early life of him,
Leonardo was taught in a studio of Verrocchio and he spent a lot of time in
Milan as well as worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, and at the end of his life
journey he died in France at his
home.
Leonardo is famous as the painter of the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, The Vitruvian Man andother works. But, as I mentioned before, since he is
such a well-rounded person, maybe is the most diversely talented person that ever lived, he was also a great scientists. He studied in science
and engineering which he put all sort of his knowledge into his art work
creation and trying to make his artwork as lively as possible and as likely as
it could possibly be( second picture). Leonardo's approach to science was an
observational one and he studied in math as well as anatomy. Moreover he went
to the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence studied dissect human corpses and
later at hospitals in Milan and Rome, which helped him later in his drawing
career.
