A D V E N T U R E S in C Y B E R S O U N D Leonardo da Vinci : 1452 - 1519 File Note: The story of Leonardo da Vinci encompasses a wide variety of diciplines, many beyond the scope of my current investigations (science and technology). The full text of the Britannica article is included however as da Vinci, probably more than anyone else for a period of several hundred years, set the stage for the development of both the arts and sciences. Introduction The unique fame that the Florentine artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered and purified by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day is based on the equally unique universality of his spirit. Leonardo's universality is more than many-sidedness. True, at the time of the Renaissance and the period of Humanism, many-sidedness was a highly esteemed quality; but it was by no means rare. Many other good artists possessed it. Leonardo's universality, on the other hand, was a spiritual force, peculiarly his own, that generated in him an unlimited desire for knowledge and guided his thinking and behaviour. An artist by disposition and endowment, he found that his eyes were his main avenue to knowledge; to Leonardo, sight was man's highest sense organ because sight alone conveyed the facts of experience immediately, correctly, and with certainty. Hence, every phenomenon perceived became an object of knowledge.

Leonardo da Vinci Nel 1481, per il Convento di S. Donato a Scopeto (FI), riceve la commissione di una grande tavola con l´ Adorazione dei Magi. L´opera rimase purtroppo allo stato di abbozzo, ma é motivo d´ interesse in quanto contiene "in nuce" tutti quegli elementi che troveranno poi piena espressione nelle opere a venire. Desideroso di lasciare Firenze, scrive nel 1482 al Signore di Milano, Ludovico il Moro e rivoluzionarie macchine offensive: gigantesche balestre e strutture corazzate per proteggere gli assalti della cavalleria. Per esaltare poi la magnificenza della corte si diverte a progettare splendidi artifizi per memorabili feste Come pittore esegue la Vergine delle Rocce Ultima Cena , una delle opere piú celebri di tutta la storia dell´arte. Si tratta di un´ "istantanea" del momento in cui Gesú annuncia il prossimo tradimento da parte di uno degli Apostoli e della reazione sgomenta dei commensali.

Men saw this in Leonardo da Vinci, whose personal beauty could not be exaggerated, whose every movement was grace itself and whose abilities were so extraordinary that he could readily solve every difficulty. He possessed great personal strength, combined with dexterity, and a spirit and courage invariably royal and magnanimous, and the fame of his name so spread abroad that, not only was he valued in his own day, but his renown has greatly increased since his death.

Italy, probably Florence, from 1508 British Library Arundel MS 263, f.86v-87 This notebook of Leonardo da Vinci in the British Library is known today as the Codex Arundel. It is not a bound volume, but was put together after his death from his loose papers of various types and sizes. The first section was begun at Florence on 22 March 1508, but the remainder comes from different periods in Leonardo’s life (1452-1519). This collection of Leonardo’s notes contains short treatises, notes and drawings on a variety of subjects from mechanics to the flight of birds. They are written in Italian, and in Leonardo’s characteristic ‘mirror writing’, left-handed and moving from right to left. In addition to a fascination with the abstract geometry of the patterns of reflection, Leonardo was interested in the potential utility of concave mirrors as sources of heat. On the page shown here, Leonardo is arguing that in concave mirrors of equal diameter, the one which has a shallower curve will concentrate the highest number of reflected rays on to a focal point, and 'as a consequence, it will kindle a fire with greater rapidity and force'.

Main Turning the Pages Features Highlights tour ... Visit us Leonardo da Vinci Introduction Notes, with sketches and diagrams, by Leonardo da Vinci Everyone has heard of the Mona Lisa, but less well-known than Leonardo's painting are his notebooks. They show that he was a designer and scientist way beyond his time. He drew his visions of the aeroplane, the helicopter, the parachute, the submarine and the car. It was more than 300 years before many of his ideas were improved upon. The notebooks are where Leonardo recorded his own ideas as well as existing designs and philosophies for reference. They were never intended for publication. After his death in France on 2 May 1519, Francesco Melzi, his pupil, brought many of his manuscripts and drawings back to Italy. Melzi's heirs, who had no idea of the importance of the manuscripts, gradually disposed of them. Despite this, over 5,000 pages still exist in Leonardo's 'mirror writing', from right to left. Over the centuries the sheets have been split up, and few notebooks survive in anything like their original form. Some even remained undiscovered until 1966, when they were found by chance in the archives of the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid.

Back to Medieval Source Book Medieval Sourcebook: Giorgio Vasari: Life of Leonardo da Vinci 1550 Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) wrote about hundreds of artists in his Lives of the Most Eminent Italian Architects, Painters, and Sculptors , which he published first in 1550, and in a revised edition in 1568. LIFE OF LEONARDO DA VINCI: Painter and Sculptor of Florence And there was infused in that brain such grace from God, and a power of expression in such sublime accord with the intellect and memory that served it, and he knew so well how to express his conceptions by draughtmanship, that he vanquished with his discourse, and confuted with his reasoning, every valiant wit. And he was continually making models and designs to show men how to remove mountains with ease, and how to bore them in order to pass from one level to another; and by means of levers, windlasses, and screws, he showed the way to raise and draw great weights, together with methods for emptying harbours, and pumps for removing water from low places, things which his brain never ceased from devising. It is clear that Leonardo, through his comprehension of art, began many things and never finished one of them, since it seemed to him that the hand was not able to attain to the perfection of art in carrying out the things which he imagined; for the reason that he conceived in idea difficulties so subtle and so marvellous, that they could never be expressed by the hands, be they ever so excellent. And so many were his caprices, that, philosophizing of natural things, he set himself to seek out the properties of herbs, going on even to observe the motions of the heavens, the path of the moon, and the courses of the sun.

LEONARDO DA VINCI Artist Scientist Leonardo da Vinci is best remembered as the painter of the Mona Lisa (1503-1506) and The Last Supper (1495). But he's almost equally famous for his astonishing multiplicity of talents: he dabbled in architecture, sculpture, engineering, geology, hydraulics and the military arts, all with success, and in his spare time doodled parachutes and flying machines that resembled inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries. He made detailed drawings of human anatomy which are still highly regarded today. Leonardo also was quirky enough to write notebook entries in mirror (backwards) script, a trick which kept many of his observations from being widely known until decades after his death. Extra credit : Leonardo da Vinci means "Leonardo from the town of Vinci," and thus he is generally referred to in short as "Leonardo" rather than as "da Vinci."

96. Da Vinci, Leonardo - Great Men And Women Of The World Biography of leonardo da vinci and related links of interest. http://homepage.oanet.com/jaywhy/leonardo.htm

(En Français) Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Florentine artist, one of the great masters of the High Renaissance, celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist. His profound love of knowledge and research was the keynote of both his artistic and scientific endeavors. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and his scientific studies (particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics) anticipated many of the developments of modern science. Early Life in Florance In 1478 Leonardo became an independent master. His first commission, to paint an altarpiece for the chapel of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Florentine town hall, was never executed. His first large painting, The Adoration of the Magi (begun 1481, Uffizi), left unfinished, was ordered in 1481 for the Monastery of San Donato a Scopeto, Florence. Other works ascribed to his youth are the so-called Benois Madonna (c. 1478, Hermitage, Saint Petersburg), the portrait Ginevra de' Benci (c. 1474, National Gallery, Washington, D.C.), and the unfinished Saint Jerome (c. 1481, Pinacoteca, Vatican). Years in Milan About 1482 Leonardo entered the service of the duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, having written the duke an astonishing letter in which he stated that he could build portable bridges; that he knew the techniques of constructing bombardments and of making cannons; that he could build ships as well as armored vehicles, catapults, and other war machines; and that he could execute sculpture in marble, bronze, and clay. He served as principal engineer in the duke's numerous military enterprises and was active also as an architect. In addition, he assisted the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in the celebrated work Divina Proportione (1509).

98. Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper Explains the importance of this event to Christianity, the location, content and technique used in the painting. Includes photos of the paintings and http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~lbianco/project/home.html

Da Vinci's Last Supper has become one of the most widely appreciated masterpieces in the world. It began to acquire its unique reputation immediately after it was finished in 1498 and its prestige has never diminished. Despite the many changes in tastes, artistic styles, and rapid physical deterioration of the painting itself, the painting's status as an extraordinary creation has never been questioned nor doubted. The perfection of this work lies not only in the artistic merits of the painting, but also in Leonardo's expressive mastery. Leonardo's Last Supper is an ideal pictorial representation of the most important event in the Christian doctrine of salvation - the institution of the Eucharist. His representation of this part of the Christian story has achieved a unanimous accceptance and authority. No other painting of a Christian subject dominates our imagination with the same power of Da Vinci's Last Supper . There are countless copies and reproductions of this particular painting in homes, places of worship, and museums throughout the world. However, when thoughts turn to the Last Supper , we seem to see only Leonardo's representation before us.

FOCUS: Leonardo da Vinci - The bridge - broen Published: 2002 Based on an original drawing by the Italian multi artist Leonardo da Vinci this pedestrian bridge was raised on the highway E-18 outside of Oslo in 2001. The Norwegian artist Vebjørn Sand took initiative for the bridge. Leonardo da Vinci originally made the drawing for the Turk sultan Bajazel II, who wanted to build a bridge over "The Golden Horn" at the Bospurus strait. The length was to be 240 m long, but the building of the bridge was never carried out. The bridge of to day is 108 m long and is made of tree material. Leonardo broen i Nygårdskrysset, Ås Kommune Leonardo da Vinci Vebjørn Sand Det er det italienske universalgeniet Leonardo da Vinci som opprinnelig tegnet gang- og sykkelveg-broen i 1502, men det er kunstneren Vebjørn Sand som var initiativtager og pådriver for prosjektet. Han har selv skaffet tre av de 13 millionene broen koster. Leonardo da Vinci tegnet opprinnelig broen for den tyrkiske sultanen Bajazel II, som ønsket å bygge bro over "Det gylne horn" ved Bospurus-stredet. Broen skulle opprinnelig være 240 meter lang, men det ble aldri noe av byggingen. Utgaven over E18 i Ås kommune er 108 meter lang, og det gikk med hele 105 kubikk treverk bare i dekket .
