Leo rarely finished much of the artworks attributed to him. He was exceptional as an historical figure but the conspiracies people have is far fetched with very little evidence to anything legitimate.
Guy is just a total badass, he studied biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics just to create the perfect painting. On top of that he is an excellent engineer and architect. What more could you ask for?
@Tup I never said he learned how to paint. But he did a lot of studying on supporting subjects to create the perfect painting. Maybe learn how to read next time.
Also, the mysterious smile isn’t just mysterious because of his knowledge of anatomy. He understood how our eye readjusts the values of a scene depending on where you look, e.g. your periphery is blurry. So he basically played with that concept and created a smile that disappears and reappears.
@@colin6603 it’s clear in his notebooks that he understood light and perception at an extremely high level, even the perspective is off, but it is done in such a way that makes the Mona Lisa look like she’s moving. Furthermore, he understood earthshine simply by understanding perspective and cast shadows. Leonardo was simply outstanding.
@@colin6603 I guess there’s no way to prove he meant to do this, but the fact that the jarring perspective creates an illusion as well makes it all the more likely. Personally, based on all his strokes of genius, which are freakishly ahead of his time, e.g., functional parachute, understanding of the heart valves, mapping of the nerves, accurately diagnosing a centenarians death as coronary artery disease, bridge technology, scuba suit, functional robots, etc., I believe it was on purpose. Considering all that, it’s not hard to imagine that his understanding of values and how the eye works led him to create the worlds first interactive painting. It doesn’t seem like that big of a stroke of genius for someone like Leonardo, considering that one can understand how our eyes readjust values if you pay close attention to your perception.
You are confused. You cant fathom that he can be both! That intelligence, creativity and ingenuity can be expressed in both science and arts by the same person!! You are like somebody who gets confused by that we all got two ears, "Do we hear from the left ear or the right ear?!"
The greatest irony in Painting is that the two arguably greatest technically gifted painters - Leonardo and Michelangelo - actually disliked painting and viewed it as a laborious vocation. Leonardo preferred scientific pursuits while Michelangelo preferred sculpting… Also, Leonardo likely never published his scientific work because it likely would have had him excommunicated and branded a heretic by the Catholic Church…which could have had him executed. He studied the cadavers in secret in the middle of the night.

Science is not a process. Science details the process amd engineers not artists apply the knowledge to real life application. An engineer can be an artist but an artist can't be an engineer if it can't do science. Leonardo was an architectural engineer limited by the knowledge of his time so engage in scientifical research in order to design better applications

Davinci's works were so formidable because of his artistic training. There really wasn't a difference between Artist and Scientist during periods like the Renaissance because all of the greatest engineers and thinkers were also some of the greatest artists. That's why STEM is such a weak curriculum because it cuts out the heart of what made the Renaissance thinkers so ingenuitive. STEAM curriculum (Science, Tech, Engineering, Fine Arts, and Math) is a much more fully and accurate concept and curriculum set up as colleges are seeing a nearly 30% dropout rate in STEM related majors because those students never had a fully developed education. The fact that so many people don't understand this is frustrating because it continues to devalue art in society when artists used to be more powerful than royalty.
Also Fine arts would allow one to implement sciences and mathematics into everyday work similarly to a simulation tool that can create a sculpture or really any artistic expression
He was the true genius. My exploration about him was up after I saw Davinci Code movie. He was a scientist, doctor, artist, writer, and a philosopher at the same time. Imagine he lives in today's era, many works of his will be used for humanity.
Today he wouldn’t been able todo anything. Back then everything was unknown and there wasn’t much complexity today you have to be a specialist since everything is just so complex.
@@Sora_Nai Contrary to that, people had to create their own systems and methods instead of working off of another's work.

There's a superstition connected to painting babies at that time. Most of them are deliberately painted that way. (I don't remember what the superstition was, sorry.)

The character we see in the famous portrait at the Louvre is not that of Lisa del Giocondo or Mona Lisa, but that of Isabella of Aragon and Sforza, the daughter of the King of Naples Alfonso II of Aragon. Isabella married her cousin Gian Galeazzo Sforza, the heir to the Duchy of Milan, to strengthen ties between the Kingdom of Naples and the Duchy of Milan. Leonardo da Vinci was at that time in the service of Ludovico Sforza, Gian Galeazzo's uncle who was regent at the court of Milan. Isabella's young husband died prematurely at the age of 25 without having been able to exercise power, said to have been assassinated on his uncle's orders. The German historian Maike Vogt-Luerssen tells us that after her widowhood, Isabella and Leonardo formed a secret couple and had 5 children. So it is the portrait of his beloved that Leonardo da Vinci made, which explains why he took it to Amboise in France and kept it until the end of his life, as we keep a family photo nowadays. So there was an emotional bond with Isabella that did not exist with Lisa del Giocondo whose portrait was just a commission. The research I have done myself on the landscape indicates that it is based on an authentic place, which would confirm Maike Vogt-Luerssen's theory, as it probably pays tribute to Isabella of Aragon's family origins. It seems obvious to me that the identity of the character in this portrait has been confused between an order actually received, that of the silk merchant's wife, and the portrait of Leonardo's companion which is the one we see today at the Louvre. All of this is probably well known today to the so-called specialists of Leonardo da Vinci, who do not want to recognize the inconsistencies of the official version, because they have spent their whole life defending a version they know today is outdated. As Mark Twain said, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled".
I can be whatever I want to be. If I want to be an artist: I’m an Artist! If I want to be a scientist: I’m a Scientist! If I want to arm one of the greatest assassins in history then as god as my witness I’ll do it!

WHAT A RIDICULOUS COMPARISON between Da Vinci and Van Gogh, deciding on the amount of paintings, if someone is a painter or not. Especially since the style of painting Van Gogh was doing was inspired by Impressionists, using at that time recently invented tubes that made it possible for artists to go outside the studio with ready made paints and use techinques not designed for accuracy, but for speed and capturing just an impression of a moment that just happened in like 30 mins. The style of painting that was done in Da Vincis time was much more labor and time intensive and required much more planning, multiple steps, drying times, just to name a few things impressionists didn't necessarily need to worry about as much anymore. About the quote of the master that Da Vinci trained under: I heard the quote with Verocchio is either a mistranslation or just taken out of context, maybe even both, which leads to a misinterpretation. Working in an artist's workshop around that time was always a group effort of apprentices, artists and a master leading the studio, doing the touch ups, final touches, corrections and teaching. Probably Da Vinci was good enough to assist his master in this aspect, but he didn't make him quit because he thought Leonardo is so good my efforts are futile. It doesn't make any sense considering that Verrocchio was one of the most influential sculptors and painters of his time. Otherwise there was a lot of decent information here from what I know so far. I really liked how they gave proper credit to some of the sources that influenced and supported Da Vinci to make his efforts possible.
The backwards writing is a form of dyslexia! Had a teacher that used to do it and explained it to us! His brain doesnt process that its upside down and backwards why he wrote it! He can still read it perfectly most people could too if they still wrote cursive!
Goddamn man, he truly was the most fascinating person to ever exist. He had it all, people say Einstein is the smartest guy ever, but Einstein could only write his brilliant thought on paper, da Vinci did the math, then did the inventing, and then did the experiments Was probably an awesome thing to witness if you were his neighbor in those days lol. There’s crazy Leo always thinking up a new invention every other day.
Misleading title. Da Vinci was an artist at heart. Through careful observation and a need to understand the truth of what he was recreating he made discoveries which at the time were scientifically progressive. From a technical aspect, capturing the world around us is one of the essences of being an artist. Perhaps because of the ignorance of the general public at the time these observations would have been seen as scientific since the aforementioned skill is attributed to it as well. But da Vinci was undoubtedly very smart and talented. And what does it mean to be an artist? Science and art are two branches of the same tree. Don’t put them against each other like in the title.
That's a good question. Although everything seems less impressive today because of the state of technology we're in. I'd say Elon Musk is up there. And Steve Jobs before he passed. Feel like I'm leaving someone out tho

Art & Science are mind and body. Everything which has to do with the body;creating,seeing,hearing,speaking e.t.c is art and the Mind(brain) is science. Therefore, he was both.
