One interesting fact i found out about him was he wrote, yes, left handed, but in a mirrored image. So, backwards. I can write backwards with my left, forwards with my right, or either way. Never thought it was anything special until my English teacher caught me writing on the blackboard that way, and she told me about DaVinci.
Chambord was Leonardo's greatest achievement , the palace he designed for his patron Francis I of France... in my view , the most beautiful secular building ever
The Renaissance studios can be compared with todays universities where mathematics, physics, chemistry (very important for painting), sculpture, architecture, anatomy had been thought. When Leonardo entered Verrochios studio, the main engeneering task was how to get the gilded copper ball with the cross, a work by Verrocchio, installed on the enormous dome of the Cattedrale Metropolitana di Santa Maria del Fiore. It is really unscientific to measure the past with the actual measurement tools. At that t8me universities had the goal to form theolgians, physicians, and jurists....
The narrator said about Leonardo's education in context of he was a genius with out higher education ! There was universities all over Europe, and very few apprentice become genius
Many artists and sculptors illegally did autopsies on cadavers by sneaking into morgue at night and even grave robbing. Michalangelo was one. He also worked in engineering, building the acaffold that he used to carve The David. He did groundbreaking work in metallurgy developing molds for castings. Unlike Da Vinci, his scientific work was totally related to furthering his art.

I live in the south od Sweden, and have met a Dutch woman here from Amsterdam. We were talking art one day, and i bragged that I had been to the Louvre and seen the 'Mona Lisa."

What a mind! Wonder if he was born in current times, If he would be revered or thought to be a lunatic and institutionalized. I felt smart today for learning how to open a stuck jar using rubber gloves. Hey, I might be a genius too!🤔
It is quite possible that Da Vinci learned a great deal from Chinese who traded with the Italians via Venice. The Chinese introduced the Italians to rice, silk, locks on rivers, etc. Many of Da Vinci's drawings look like copies of Chinese drawings, although with better drafting techniques.
Perspective geometry and drawing wasn’t introduced into China until the Jesuit Missionary Giuseppe Castiglione became court painter to the Qing Emperor. It was the Jesuits who brought advanced Western mechanics, timekeeping and perspective to the China

When applying for a placement as an architect he walked into the interview room, in front of witnesses, drew a perfect circle free and with no tools other than a pencil, and walked out. He got the job. 😆💋🍹💃🌟👵🐺🌵
The story is apocryphal, I'm afraid. It is said, too, about Gentile Bellini and Giotto, among others. I might add that being able to draw a circle freehand would not imply that you can build a building that would not fall down.

Leonardo wrote backwards. Not for every situation but within his own personal writings for himself he'd often write backwards and the only way to read it was to hold it up to a mirror...hence why the called it "Mirror Writing" - who does that? How does your mind even manage to do so. I trained myself to use my left hand so as to be ambidextrous but that's a far cry from writing backwards.
It's not backwards writing, it's writing the opposite direction, from right to left . I'm left-handed and it's very easy for me to do that. You can try to have one pencil in your left , and one in your right hand. Put the pencils on the center of the page, and start to write the same word at same time. With your lefthand to left direction, and with the right to the right direction . If you do it , tell me how was it
LDV was flaming gay (not that there is anything wrong with that), including cross dressing. Surprisingly, Florence where he spent much of his adult life, was very accepting of the gay lifestyle. That quote about how procreation was so disgusting was actually a reference to female genitalia.
He was homosexual. Society was segregated. Women only associated with men in company of their families, or chaperones. As today many artists are also "gay".
He hid information within his artwork, for example find the best and original high quality image of the last supper and you will see that the person at Christs right hand side is female and not the saint Peter who is the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. He also painted a human head cut in half and disguised it within a clam shell with esoteric figures standing in the shell which might be seen as a way of identifying like minded people who visit your home and you want to be discreet because this was seen as heresy

Consider yourself gifted. At 50 I trained my left hand to draw. Now can switch using either.
Truly one of the greatest and gifted Minds that have ever graced this Planet.

That's a nice way of saying "quest chi capì na gott".
He was a great artist who influence the world.
Fascinating and very scholarly presentation. Thank you. I'll check out more of your videos.
Many people didn’t go to school at that time, they were apprenticed to a master’s workshop.

Why was a Rembrant self portrait included here?
Rembrandt if you're pointing out things...not Rembrant...but RembranDT.
Yes good point, and while we’re at it why not have a human narrate this? It’s just an internet video. Don’t attach any academic vigor to it.
I think he said they were pals
Wonderful over view!
Thank you!
Marvellous man. Wonder how his great brain would have functioned today with so many tools to help him. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
His brain is bigly lol

Was it really necessary to blur Da Vinci's anatomical drawings? What a world.
What he said about love/sex, and his intense focus makes me wonder if he was on the spectrum.
What a mind! Wonder if he was born in current times, If he would be revered or thought to be a lunatic and institutionalized.

There's absolutely no relationship between Renaissance and Chinese art. Read his biographers.
@@petesaria-hf1xh Maybe, but I've read some histories that say differently. I can only go by what I read.
Perspective geometry and drawing wasn’t introduced into China until the Jesuit Missionary Giuseppe Castiglione became court painter to the Qing Emperor. It was the Jesuits who brought advanced Western mechanics, timekeeping and perspective to the China
His Neighbors Thought He Was Strange . He Would Befriend People On Their Death Beds So He Could Get Their Corspe To Study .
That's a ludicrous contention. None of his biographers have sighted such nonsense. Stop talking out of your ass.

He was a inventor as well
Salai was Leonardo's son
its a reasonable video to curtail the myth of Leonardo and be informed of the true Leonardo😊

True story about the circle. However, another artist is credited with the simple circle résumé.
You mean Michelangelo when he pitched for the job for the Sistine chapel.

Leonardo - was from Vinci.
Genius!
He was really good at Street Fighter too!
Where did you come up with that nonsense?
"Verrocchio" is pronounced ver-OCK-ee-oh. It was the professional nickname of Andrea Cioni. "Medici" is pronounced MED-ee-chee.
lol You’re telling this to an automated narrator.
I don;t know if this is true, but he is rumored to have removed his own appendix, presumably out of perceived or actual medical necessity.
The biggest genious ever

Verrocchino?!? Wow, expert doubling down on the spello
Maybe his work never matched his vision.
before his time
He and Michelangelo were not buddies
Clearly an alien
he didn’t go to school - in 1400’s? my goodness. imagine that!! 🙄
So many indications of adhd.
His engineering projects were failures and borrowed from from others. But he was a fantastic painter and sculptor.
Who are these “others” ?
@@Scenicroute5 Hundreds of contemporary inventors.
He was left-handed. And yes, he disliked Michelangelo. And was probably gay.
It has been reported that Leonardo didn’t bathe.
1.09 was dat niet de jonge Rembrandt i.p.v. DaVinci
Not them birds in cages for food or pets ? 🐣 11:45
Well we all know that he had kids into his 70s which is a original OG move

Great time to be alive . When being gay was outlawed
Leonardo hated Michelangelo, and vice versa…
The word hate is tossed around a lot these days.
Hate is a little strong.
At best they tolerated each other, unfortunately, imagine if only they collaborated?
@@mariemelansongundy-vx4oxTheir egos would have prevented that.
How do you know that?
He was homosexual. Society was segregated. Women only associated with men in company of their families, or chaperones. As today many artists are also "gay".
He Was Homosexual So Was Michealangelo
Maybe don’t use Rembrandt self-portraits in a DiVinci video. #epicfail
It sounds like that Leonardo da vinci was a genius and had attention dejefit disorder.
Didnt Leo occasionally dissappear into the wilderness? Ive read he did, but that was years ago.
Da Vinci was amazingly talented, creative and fantastic artist. Da Vinci pulled the greatest feat of all time - doing the shroud of turine...
Sorry, but all the "business" going on in the background makes this too difficult to watch.
I was he in my first life
Welcome back!
Yeah, dream on.
dude, those are the thoughts of a schizophrenic
Nothing new here if you had minor interest in him!
Please Note: in the ‘Middle Ages’ extramarital sex was included in the definition of sodomy… more thorough research is advised..😎
Did he have to stick his head in a barrel to say those things? 😃
it is way too gossipy .kind of bitchy with that I mean kind of chavy somehow uget me

He was gay. Deal with it.
Leonardo Da Vinci lived a long time for the period in which he lived. Maybe, keeping the brain active and a vegetarian diet did that for him.
Good speculation.
Also, no venereal diseases!
He was gay. There was no doubt
BFD!!!!
So is your boyfriend
