Topic > The Many Inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci - 629

Can you imagine what the worldview would be like without Leonardo Da Vinci's contribution? His discoveries and inventions, unlike any other, were extraordinary. Leonardo is still known as one of the greatest minds to ever set foot on earth. His perspective helped us see the artwork with a real rather than unrealistic expression of contempt. He was a man of many talents. In addition to being one of the greatest artists, he made contributions to anatomy and invention in the world of engineering. Although his other discoveries and inventions were not as focused, they changed society in a way impossible for one man to achieve. He broke barriers as God on earth. His ideas were inexplicable and unrealistic in his time, but towards the 19th century he inspired many engineers to develop unattainable models. Although Leonardo Da Vinci is known for his works of art, he made extraordinary contributions to anatomy and engineering to help him open his mind. What is art without a mystery behind it? Leonardo tried to connect with the world through a different perspective, “he searched for a universal language in painting” (art). Although Leonardo learned from Verocchio, he quickly surpassed him (art). In his time Europe was mainly dominated by religion, so painting divine figures realistically was a challenge. According to the article Leonardo Da Vinci painting to paint perfect art the artist must have complete control of the expression. The Last Supper is known as one of Leonardo's greatest paintings in which “his hand trembled every time he attempted to paint it” because it expressed Christ as not ideal or divine (Painting). This highlights that the artist during the Renaissance feared the Catholic Church so much to the point that... middle of paper......t the human body during the Renaissance. His keen eye led him to discover an unimaginable magic behind nature's creation of the human body and its proportions. Although he liked the idea of ​​realism, he wanted to know in detail the ideal proportion to perfect the divine figures in his art. Leonardo believed that the brain, heart and lungs were “motors of the senses and of life” (Heydenreich). His findings were never published because he believed that his idea behind anatomy could give people the wrong understanding of anatomy because he did not consider himself a professional. I believe this shows the true work of a perfectionist because he knew the basic concepts of anatomy, but he didn't know enough so he didn't publish his findings. Although it is not mentioned anywhere, I believe that his study of anatomy and how he saw it as mechanical devices led him to study engineering.
