The genius of Leonardo da Vinci
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2017
- Artist Leonardo da Vinci produced two of the most famous paintings in history, "The Last Supper" and the "Mona Lisa." But he was also passionate about medical discoveries and military inventions, some of which were centuries ahead of their time. Walter Isaacson, author of bestselling biographies of Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, has written a new book about da Vinci, and he talks with Dr. Jon LaPook about why this Renaissance Man's mind and curiosity were so extraordinary.

Leonardo had the greatest gift a man can have/use: curiosity. He wanted to know everything, and anything that came to his mind.
Fajitahmed nah it’s og😍😢
Yall boring people
Mount Mona Lisa has no eyebrows like me and I am just like giving G I want to know everything that's why they call me Curious George
@Augusto Helmer art is subjective and he was highly advanced in any study and job he had whether it’s military art or others and he had way more paintings than we have today only a few survived
@Augusto Helmer mediocre artist? his teacher was a renowned artist who retired after leonardo surpassed him to heights his teacher couldnt even fatham reaching.
In my opinion, one of the most remarkable things Leonardo did it was that picture of a bicycle. Do you understand? Leonardo drew a bicycle almost half millennium before it was invented.
many inventions was lost to neglect or nobody wanted it , or they was to dumb to know much
Leonardo is a fictitious character. That's why "he" depicted futuristic things, because his existence was forged in the last 300 years. That's why he didn't sign a single damn painting. He never existed except in stories that you idiots parrot. Show me the primary sources to prove he existed.
@@GarageSpaceship did you forget to take your meds again?
Da Vinci didn’t invent the bicycle...
Fibo,
It is absolute nonsense.
Let me explain.
There is a Leonardo codex (collection of pages) that belongs to an Italian monastery. This had been taken out of storage and was being examined for the purpose of study and/or restoration. It was left in a room where various members of the monastery staff had access to it.
The codex went missing for a couple of days.
One o the unusual things about it was that two pages were stcuck together.
When these were prised apart, four drawings were found beteen the pages.
These drawings are extremely amateurish and scratchy.
They are
1. A crudely drawn face of a boy in a hat.
2. A penis with legs, labelled with the name of one of Leonardo's pupils.
3. Another that I can't remember- I think it is just a few straight lines.
4. A very very badly drawn bicycle.
The bicycle makes use of two ink circles which are part of a diagram drawn on the other side of the page.
How can we be sure Leonardo didn't draw it?
It is mechanically SERIOUSLY wrong. i.e. the pedals go down below the wheels, so if it was made, they would scrape the ground.
This is not the sort of error that a person DESIGNING a bike could possibly make.
But it IS the sort of error that a person who KNEW about bicycles, and was bad at drawing, could make.
The four drawings are all by the same hand, and they are all very poor drawings. Leonardo, even when he did just a little sketch, drew very competently.
There is a big difference between a quick sketch by a good artist and a drawing by someone who draws badly.
Leonardo did not design the bicycle.
BUT he DID design the linked chain and sprogged wheel that is essential to the bicycle mechanism. This has other applications, and was a great invention.
I took my mother to Paris last year to see the Mona Lisa in person. Da Vinci was an otherworldly being, truly enlightened. What an incredible mind!
He was an enlightened being, truly conscious to his surroundings.
@@anup2282 Methodical?
well said
I would love to travel back in time and observe DaVinci.
Not observe, interact
Then he would observe you, steal your time technology,clone you as him, leave you behind
that's creepy
For that, you need negative energy to make time travel possible.
me too
No mention of his great friendship with the legendary figure Ezio Auditore?
Yolo Yolt In Assassin’s Creed yea
@@calvino5117 shhhhhh.......
Everyday look up, and look down. Notice the sky/light/birds and notice the ground/rocks/plants. Everyday.
Could you explain further please?
I read somewhere, possibly in the book, "How to Think Like DaVinci" or something close, that he did this everyday; looked up and looked down. I get it done about 5 days out of 7 simply out of laziness. It's cool, though. Namaste
jp law ok
jp law That's definitely good advice. If you stop to look around, the natural beauty within this planet is amazing. We're often too preoccupied to truly appreciate life.
Yes . Look around take a good look at everything around you for a quick moment.
He was the greatest, my favorite artist and inventor. To bad he didn't know how famous his work is!
Leonardo DID know how famous his work was.
When you draw a picture- a large picture four feet across, as a plan for a painting of the Virgin and Christ Child, and before the drawing is even finished, people are flocking to see it night and day, as if it was a side show, then you know that your work is famous.
When the King of France comes to visit the Pope, and you are called in and the King says, Leonardo I want you to come back to France and live in a beautiful Château of your own and just live out your life in comfort, then you know that you have really made it as an artist.
OMG! I can't believe I'm just noticing that Mona Lisa has a veil on her head. All this time
Louise K come on how often do you look at the Mona Lisa
if you read his codex you’ll realise he was the smartest person ever. drawings that were 500 years ahead of its time, recreated in the 20-21 century after its discovery worked perfectly. parachutes, submarines, underwater suits to breath while underwater (scuba suits), drawings of helicopters, early (machine guns), the basis of human anatomy, and so much more. he was extremely ahead of his time.
@@mazolab the drawing of the parachute did which is what he is referring to.
@@mazolab oh yeah I would still say the majority worked with the exception of the airplane for example his design of the submarine, his mechanical knight, and his tank all have worked. And he made the mechanical night himself, which is basically as close as you could have come to robotics at the time.
@@mazolab that video is wrong people made it unmodified and there were primitive submarines in the 1500s
@@mazolab the tank may never work in battle but it functioned and yes his design for the submarine worked without modification
@@mazolab links can not send in RUclips comments sections.
He was a man before his time! Truly a thinker and a doer! 😎🌎❤️
Jacqueline Ramphal ya a “doer” of men... he could really pack up that Florence mans fudge
That's my PAPII!!! MUAH
Mona Lisa 😘
Leonardo da Vinci love you babe thanks for creating me
Mona Lisa Thank you for inspiring others.
I can’t 😂😂
❤️💥🤩😂😅
So happy that I was still lucky enough to see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre so much closer than now, and yes, her eyes 'moved' as I walked from left to right and back. Brilliant piece of art. What a gift to humanity DaVinci was.
The woman represented in the famous painting at the Louvre is not Lisa del Giocondo as we are told. In fact, it is Princess Isabelle of Aragon and Sforza, the daughter of King Alfonso II of Aragon, a dynasty that came from Catalonia, as demonstrated by historian and Italian Renaissance specialist Maike Vogt-Luerssen.
I think he’s the only person to whom the saying “jack of all trades, master of none” doesn’t apply. Great inventor, artist, handsome, scientist, etc. An inspiration for men to long for something greater, even half a century after his time.
To say that Leonardo died "a poor man" Is hardly true.
Leonardo died with all the material comforts that he could possibly want, including a beautiful chateau, and the patronage of the king of France.
The painting f Leonardo's death shown in this video, shows king Francis cradling Leonardo's head as he died.
I will add here that some recent research indicated that Francis made a proclamation, several days distant, on the day of his death, and therefore ould not have been present, as tradition claims. A little further research indicated that the proclamation was actually delivered by one of the Kings nobles, and in fact Francis may well have been present after all.
Two interesting facts about Leonardo's will-
He left his housekeeper a fine black cloak with a fur collar. This meant that she could go in his funeral procession as one of his chief mourners, with her humble clothes disguised by a cloak as fine as any woman of the town.
He left instructions that sixty old men of the town should follow his bier as mourners. THis meant that each man would receive a good meal and wine as part of the wake.
He left his notebooks to his pupil and assistant Count Francesco Melzi, who began to prepare his works for publication.
He left money and land, and the Mona Lisa to his scoundrelous pupil known as Salai. Salai didn't live long as he was killed in a duel.
Thank you so much for these colorful images. 🙋
We all will died as we came , with nothing , poor and no money !
Money is the most evil things ever created on this earth.
Steve Jobs died a poor man , all the money in this world couldn't save him nor could he take it with him for good standings.
rabeks,
Do you mean that he didn't have a Million Scudi in the the Medici Bank?
Or do you mean that he died, just as any other man dies?
Leonardo lived out his last years in great comfort even though the mobility in his hands was limited and he wasn't painting much. He lived in a chateau, attended by servants and with the King of France as his friend..
@@NOTTHASAME money is the not the root of all evil, its the want of money the desire sorry but while I'm on earth I want money to survive to pay my Bill's and have better health care better entertainment. Rather have money then not have it, I'll worry about my death and afterlife when it happens
Also Steve jobs had billions and if he hadn't had that money he would have died even sooner
You can be poor and unhappy
Or You can be rich and unhappy
I'd rather be comfortable an if you think money is evil then you are a brainwashed idiot
The food you eat, health you have, economy that survives, the air you breathe the electricity you have, the water and heat is all dependent on money, money isnt everything but it's important even those monks in Tibet (what they don't tell you is) even they need money. Go ahead be stupid, try living without it. Have fun starving
Lol look at Bill Gates 70 years old billionaire, healthy, donates tons of money, gives back to people, and helps society
Money is not the root of all evil, the WANT/Desire of money (and what people do to get it...i.e crime, violence, thievery, etc) that's where the evil is.
Only brainwashed religious fanatics would say money is evil. Money is just physical currency nothing more, humans create the sin..money is just coins and paper.
As for Steve jobs he had a disease and he was going to die 1 way or another money had nothing to do with it. But if he was poor, and had nothing...he would had died even younger, no one lives forever but while your here why NOT enjoy your life, and have enough $ to be comfortable. Worry about the afterlife when it comes
The famous art historian erwin panofsky wrote a book on leonardo's codex huygen. That is a very profound essay. Highly recommended. Wisdom worth more than millions. A lot of kings or bankers were forgotten but his last supper was admired for centuries. Art gives humanity a glimpse of heaven.
The last line of your post is deeply profound and indeed art will be the ONLY heaven many ever see.
it would be interesting to introduce LEONARDO TO TESLA,oh the conversations
I'm one of those nuts who believe they they talk regularly. As in now.
@@mortalclown3812 😍😍
And Einstein
swaytie gooch Tesla actually tried to put down Einstein’s work and discredit him. Maybe if he had done that to Edison instead he would have gotten more out of his own work
I would die to listen to their conversations
This dude was limited by the knowledge that was around back then , imagine the thoughts he would have if he knew everything we did ??
Your comment is completely erroneous.
Yank ee
How is it wrong? Today we have the internet, you can access almost any information on different subjects. There wasn’t such a thing back then
Wasting their time on RUclips ;)
Referring to DaVinci as 'This dude' turns my stomach, and makes you look like a fool.
Yank ee I only use “this dude “ when I’m trying to be insulting and not use their true name
I have greatly admired and loved Leonardo Da Vinci all my life and the fact that there will be made a movie about his life staring Leonardo DiCaprio is to my something of a miracle.. and something to look forward to.. Thank you from my heart Walter Isaacson for this beautiful book and making this film possible.. I can't wait.. it's so exciting 💕✌😊💕🍃💜🍃💕
This brilliant man was not from this planet.
Claudia Lima,
Leonardo was very much of this planet. He observed t with great attention, and used his observations.
@@MandyJMaddison
Hi
@@MandyJMaddison u don't get it do u? LmO
Mr. Mythical,
I am not entirely sure whether Claudia Lima was speaking figuratively or meaningfully.
When one is dealing with flat-earthers, and the "Diana was murdered by the lizard people" it is hard to be sure.
Truly a giant amongst men.
As an artist myself I have learned to notice everything.
At Folsom State Prison in California, there is a painting of The Last Supper that was painted 1938 on the inside of the chappel, on a wall by inmate 21692 Ralph Pecor. But he had to come up with his own paint which was difficult. So he imprivised with shoe polishes and other odd concoctions. Just to be kinda like leonardo he painted it with the faces switched out with those of guards and inmates. Check it out at (Folsom Prison 'Last Supper' Mural Featuring Inmates, Guards As Disciples) it is really cool.
Lincoln knight,
thank you for drawing my attention to this.
You rock for passing this on.
Pekor
Leonardo is the humblest person I've ever known...
Was he nice? Did he let you have a go on his glider?
@@jamie8037 He is so nice.. Like I told you so humble... Nope he did not... We met in Heaven... That was when he painted the Last supper... I am a witness in spirit when he painted it. His spirit is in Heaven when he was being introduced to me by Jesus Christ.
They say, DiCaprio's name sake, instead of DaVinci.
thats grammatically and factually correct though.
They meant Leonardo DiCaprios namesake which was Davinci
"Da Vinci" is NOT Leonardo's surname.
yes he died as a poor man. This is what happens to great people.
Bibs Photography
Money wasn't a concern for him.
However King of France visited him before he died. It's a great honour.
Knowledge is much more greater then money.
Tell yourself the truth
@@goldenfantasy9251 well said
I read tons of books about Leonardo's life and it's the first time I've been told he died as a poor man.
He had his own castle (Le Clos Lucé) offered by François 1er since years. The King was fascinated by him and offered him and his apprentice whatever they wanted (in exchange of Leonardo's simple presence, conversations, knowledge of fireworks for the court's parties etc...) even his paintings were inherited for his apprentice/lover and the King respected that and bought some after.
Informations founded in every biography I read by Art Historians who spent their life being loyal with the facts (Vasari, Clark, Zöllner, teachers...)
Unfortunately we can't trust a quick summary of a lifetime meant for a 10mn program between 20ads.
BOOKS
(sorry if bad english, not english speaker so I don't know if I did any mistakes, I tried not to)
nichols what books have you read? I am interested in reading them. Just to widen my knowledge about him.
I know ,some people are conflating van gogh with da Vinci ,he was the most famous man of his day.
I'm a "gay" man (sometimes I('m even happy about that) too but I think people today make a mistake thinking homosexually automatically means engaging in "buggery". That isn't necessarily the case. Freud wrote a portrait of Leonardo and he seriously doubted Leonardo was very sexually active most of his life. The upper classes had some privileges that weren't common to most but that didn't mean it was clear sailing. Those at the top had very little personal privacy. Almost no one, almost up to the present day had much personal privacy. It would have been very hard for Leonardo to do anything notorious. Freud didn't consider homosexuality a disease or "abomination". He called Leonardo an "ideal' homosexual. The young man may not have been his lover but a surrogate son a companion and helper. The people of his era tended to live with intense discipline, either from within or imposed on them, and would probably have accepted man on man love as long as it remained within scriptural definitions of proper practice. I tend to think that in a time of high mortality rates for all ages, making babies. especially dynastic heirs, was seen as an almost absolute duty.
We're living in a time when it is almost a situation where having a physical body is becoming a burden. in as much as most of the grunt work of life has been replaced with machinery and even so much of the labor of thought is being supplanted by AI, raising children may be something only those with the where-with-all may actually engage in it? It might even be the case that the proportion of those how actually get to pass on their genes isn't much different than it was historically? .
BTW - I didn't even notice you wrote English as a second language. My Grandmother In Waterbury Ct. used to carry on a lifelong correspondence with a French woman my Grandfather had met in WWI and neither of them could speak the other's language. My Grandmother wrote English but Germaine used a dictionary. My Grandmother couldn't get more than a high school education but Germaine was many years younger and probably had the longer schooling. My Grandfather had the measles and was laid up for a time in a French hospital and met Germaine who was a teenager nursing helper.
@@margarethsmith9386 My dear Margareth, sorry I just see your question now, 2years later 😅 I'll answer in case you're still interested and didn't read some books I'm going to mention...
- Well I can talk to you about Kenneth Clark who wrote fascinating books, and one especially about da Vinci, with Martin Kemp.
- Franz Zöllner is also quite dedicated to da Vinci, just chose the book you feel into:)
- The History of Art (big book but so so interesting, you can even read it like it is a novel) by Ernst Gombrich.
Apart from books you can learn a lot from magazines, there are so much very very well done, don't forget that.
- Otherwise I will not end this answer without mentionning Giorgio Vasari : "The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects", usually in 2volumes...
ENTHRILLING
Full of life and fun, very respectful for the artists he writes about. You can learn from the very veeeery early Italian Renaissance to the end of the XVIth century when he died (he was a friend of Michelangelo so you'll learn a lot of great stuff😃).
Very easy to read just by the fact that it's one biography after another... like chapters but in this case you pick the ones you like...
(at the end you'll probably read everything anyway hahha)
And it's so well written... I'll give you a teaser here... (personnally I've read it in french and it was lovely so don't know how this translation would do but I'm sure the translator here had also the talent of keeping everything great)... WELL. Written in the mid-1550's, here are the first sentences of how Vasari presents us Master Leonardo...

Enjoy
@@nichols6778 Thank you so much for your studies and sharing this information. You touched on some I was unaware of and I can never ever read enough about DaVinci.
Leonardo's art gives me artgasms
These paintings, especially Mona Lisa, should've been kept in a museum about Leonardo in Florence.
If I'm honest with you, I think that the most extraordinary things about Leonardo da Vinci is that he drew and designed things that people these days wouldn't even think of drawing and things that were not even close to being invented for centuries! That circle thing with the roof looked like a helicopter! Not only that, but he designed a car!!! This was the 15th and 16th centuries to clarify; 1400 and 1500!
Leonardo learned about the muscles of the human face in order to understand how they operate so he could draw the human face's emotions perfectly. It's that level of detail which made this guy so good
Leonado is one of the smartest famous person ever. No other can compared to his greatness. Art and scientist blend well to one another.
The smartest human to have ever lived I think he knows about magic too.
Qui It doesn't now but in the past maybe.
Golden Fantasy Sure from his writtings, you could tell especially some of His quotes,well coded,seems to tell he had some form of contact with ....I think ''alchemy'' will be the best word and not magic.
al jazari,avicena,al hazen...all of them
Golden Fantasy,
That is a total fantasy.
Leonardo was a scientist who made and recorded observations.
He wrote that alchemy was nonsense and a waste of time.
He wrote thousands of pages, but NONE about spiritual matters or magic.
GHanaba,
No. He wrote that alchemy was worthless and a waste of time.
He may have died poor but he lived a very rich life!
Absolutely. Who cares if you die poor?
Poor? More like the height of luxury and wealth ,he lived with the king of france.
Bruh imagine if Leonardo lived in this age. With internet...
Leonardo Da Vinci ,the greatest brain that ever lived ,he had dreams way ahead of his time and left us drawings of his creative genius in every professional field ,what an incredible men !
There’s the wonderful story of Da Vinci when he was an apprentice got asked to paint an angel on a Fresco while the master painted the rest, however, when the master came in and saw the angel he just snapped his brushes and walked away.
I urge anyone, whether interested in Leonardo or not, to read Isaacson's biography of Da Vinci. Such a rich and profound but highly engrossing, readable book. I saw "The Virgin of the Rocks" in the National Gallery in London years ago and wish I had Isaacson's insight to guide me on that visit.
I can relate to Leonardo’s creative mind. I have many equations and curiosities and ideas as well, but I am amazed how Leonardo actually goes out and builds these things. That is inspiration.
"Describe the tongue of the woodpecker." It curls up behind the brain of the bird to prevent choking. Incredible design.
Leonardo baby🙏
Hallelujah ! Thank you for a fascinating video on the Great Master Leonardo Da Vinci ! It is a great joy and blessing to see his many works of genius and talent. May all beings be happy !

I've read it, and no, it isn't worth reading. DaVinci was an anomaly. A mind that can't be modeled.

There is something quite mysterious about the Mona Lisa and when they did a bone structure comparison and facial feature comparison the results were no less than astounding.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
When you're into someone like Leonardo Da Vinci its hard to appreciate a tiny canvas painted blue, talked up by pretentious people -- you must never let snobs take over art, its not for them.
@Cheetos Martini Well a certain amount of rich people aren't snobs and genuinely have good taste, but then there's the ones who just throw all these names around and its just hilarious to watch people talking about art when they haven't a clue how its done, especially if you yourself know how to draw and paint, and know the effort it takes.
It happened with opera, darn it.
@Stephen Brown oops
I hope we get a movie or series about Da Vinci. An Italian one
The last part of this was profoundly tranquil
he was pretty much asexual actually.. not gay
Um, being certain about someone's level of eros a half millennium ago is going to be tough to prove.
you sure? I heard he made love to his donkey
Charlie Chuckles Apparently he got arrested for sodomy on a guy during his life too.
Who gives a crap!
Louis Law, how did you come to that conclusion?
My favorite human ever!
Got to get to the museum.
Hope the movie is more inspirational than introspective.
However, a Movie Star may want a more personality driven performance.
All of us have curiosity in different measures. Leonardo's curiosity however was so insatiable , and exceeded all of his other passions like ambition, food, sex etc. That's what made Leonardo Leonardo.
so nice art.
2:26 he says Di caprio instead of Da vinci, how come no-one has noticed this?
By “Di Caprio’s namesake”, he’s referring to Da Vinci.
Very interesting video. I like the way Walter Isaacson express his admiration for Leonardo da Vinci. Thanks to this channel to share this beautiful video.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
He was very detailed oriented! Something common with majority of artists.
Da Vinci, a man ahead of his time.
Suddenly, Mona Lisa is flirting with me.
I would've been happy if the most famous painting is flirting with me :) Sry if I'm missing a joke.
I read an article on Leonardo Da Vinci and I was disappointed with society in how they did not allow him to have a typical education because he wasn't of noble birth. What made me smile about him though, is his passion for knowledge in knowledge itself. He would get sassy with fat aristocratic men, stopping them in the streets to ask them, "describe to me the texture of a humming bird's tongue". I love knowledge in the same miscellaneous way :)
Eclectic Reader where did you get that from? I’ve never heard of such a thing or how it could even be known...
Well, they did it differently back then...
His father was a count. His mother was a peasant woman. He was an unwanted child. Monalisa describes a woman girl from the same village, I believe.
Leonardo-s father wasn't a count. And Leonardo was not "unwanted".
He was cared for by his mother, who married and continued to live in the house where he was born. Here husband probably worked for Leonardo's father in his olive orchard.
When Leonardo was born, his grandfather wrote in his diary that his Grandson had arrived that night.
When Leonardo was five he was taken to live with his father, grandfather and young uncle. His father then married a young woman who loved Leonardo, but unfortunately she died in childbirth.
By the time he was a teenager, Leonardo was already showing great talent.
His father moved from Vinci which was a large village, into Florence so that Leonardo could be apprenticed to a master painter.
None of this sounds like an "unwanted" child. He seems to have been very much wanted.
Later in life, he had a woman in his household called Caterina. This seems to have been his widowed mother who he cared for until her death..
Vidal Martinez,
It is nonsense.
There are a great number of paintings of the last supper.
In Florence, where Leonardo grew up, there are at least eight large versions of the painting which Leonardo would have seen as a boy, and as a young painter- by Giotto, Fra Angelico, Ghirlandaio, della Castagna and others. ALL of them show Saint John the Evangelist as a young, beardless, beautiful youth.
Think about this: a painter is an artist. He likes pretty things and pretty paintings- but the Last Supper has twelve men and a teenage boy sitting around a table. There is only ONE opportunity to paint something pretty, and that is the teenage boy.
My favorite painter/artist. I would have loved to have seen his tutorials.😏
Leonardo, nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein will always be my top 3 most intelligent people
My name and my Sons name is a anagram within Leonardo Da Vinci,s name.I found that interesting
Da vinki?!?!
disrespectful
I wish I was his friend, I really want to be around this guy
I don't know if I'm an old person or not, but I really like this series.
We stop living when we cease to notice the faces in the clouds, the cracks in the walls and the figures in leaves.
When the magic ceases, so does our creativity and imagination, we're just walking shells of a child that once used to be.
Who painted the Mona Lisa? 😃
Mona Lisa! 😁

The Salvadore Mundi ended up fetching 450 million and worth every penny.Leonardo da Vinci painted in a way that serves as evidence of our human divinity! The Salvatore Mundi is a miraculous sight to behold that invokes an ethereal experience to those who are lucky enough to see the painting in person!
The face of Da Vinci is on Mona Lisa's sleeve
Amazing. Art detail is awesome.
Fun fact: Leonardo da Vinci is a vegetarian, he is an animals lover.
That makes me respect him so much.
I wish I found Walter Isaacson’s work readable, but his biography of Harry Truman drove me nuts
A poor man whos selling $100mil paintings 500 years after his life
It got 450.3million dollor
One secret only less of you were know about Da Vinci ... That he's a friend of Ezio 🤗
The sniffy unctuousness of the line about a holy few digging the Mona Lisa. Well, golly. Tearfully back to the tedium of my prole life.
If i could go back in time, i would want to see where he went and what he did when he was missing
How the Dutch walk on ice? Wait for it to be thick enough.

Very good and meaningful presentation on the great Leonardo Da Vinci
"leonardo may have been the person with the greatest amount of quriosity of any human that ever existed" That is why he experienced GREAT joy in finding out things about the tounge of the woodpecker for example..was it "important"? He enjoyed life.
The old leonardo to this modern leonardo di carpio, both great in their own skills. I will name my son leonardo
"could fetch 100M' *sells for 450M
2:26 anyone other than me hears you saying Dicaprio???
Timz Low yes, they were talking about him as well. He got a name after da vinci
They are currently making a film about Leonardo da Vinci in Italy with Aidan Turner as Leonardo.
I’ve never been so relaxed
