Leonardo da Vinci lived from 1452 to 1519 during the Renaissance period. He was an Italian polymath whose areas of expertise included painting, sculpting, architecture, music, mathematics, engineering, invention, anatomy, geology, cartography, botany and writing. Some of his most famous works include the Mona Lisa painting and detailed anatomical drawings. Through dissecting human corpses, Leonardo made many breakthrough discoveries in human anatomy that were well ahead of the medical knowledge of his time. However, his anatomical drawings were not widely seen until centuries later because he instructed his student to keep them hidden after his death.

6. What were Leonardo da Vinci
contributons and their impact?
• He developed pictural composition to achieve a more natural
look as well as stability. He was an inquisitive and inventive
scholar and scientist: he studied human and animal anatomy,
the flight of birds, waves, motions in the air. He invented
more terrible weapons… Leonardo da Vinci's contributions to
art show not only in his early works and masterpieces, but
also in his many writings.

7. Anatomy research: What was the
knowledge about human anatomy until the
time of Leonardo?And during da Vinci time?
• This tradition leads him to compare the microcosm of the
body and the macrocosm of the world. These analogies
extend to comparisons between arteries in the body and
underground rivers in the earth; the flow of blood to the
head, with circulation of water to the summits of mountains;
or blood when a vein bursts in the nose and water rushing out
of a burst vein of the earth.

8. What methods used da Vinci to make his anatomy
studies?
First he dissected the human corpses of criminals under
strict discretion, then he became a successful artist and
he was given permission to dissect human corpses at
the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova

9. What conclusion did Leonardo get from his
anatomical studies?
He did many drawings of human anatomy, bones, muscles
and tendons, heart and vascular system, the
reproductive
system and other internal organs, and graphics on the
action
of the eye. He also made the first drawing of a fetus.

10. Why the Leonardo drawings have not been
exposed until recently?
Because he gave his drawings to Francesco Melzi and Leonardo
said to him
that the drawings should not be found. When
Leonardo died,
Francesco hid them and in the 19th century the
drawings were
found.
