How Did Leonardo Da Vinci Done
"Art is never finished, only abandoned." This is one of Leonardo da Vinci's famous quotes. I personally find it appealing and memorizing. This is
100% true as well! Nothing in life is ever truly finished! Leonardo da Vinci was pure genius, however not just from his quotes. He did much, much,
more!
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452. He was born in VinciItaly. His exact birthplace was in a farmhouse in the middle of the beautiful hills
of Tuscany outside the village of Anchiano in what is now Italy. Leonardo da Vinci most likely spent most of his time with his uncle, Francesco,
instead of his two unmarried parents. At the age of 15, Leonardo da Vinci became the apprentice of the artistAndrea del Verrocchio. Andrea del
Verrocchio... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He studied the field of civil engineering, and created many amazing inventions. His invention of the parachute was an international breakthrough!
He also invented scissors, which also changed the world, and is nowadays used in almost every classroom and almost every household. Leonardo
da Vinci also sketched up the first helicopter. He may not have built it, but he did imagaine it, and his sketch helped modern day scientists and
engineers build the helicopter. Not only did Leonardo da Vinci sketch the helicopter, create the parachute, and invent the scissors, but he also built
The Revolving Bridge. The Revolving Bridge was a portable bridge, used over a variety of bodies of water. It was mostly used by armies to pass over
rivers, streams, and small lakes. Leonardo da Vinci originally designed it for Duke Sforza.
I think that this field of science is something I would like to study because I enjoy both building and creating, and I adore art. I definitely think that
if I ever become a scientist, this would be the field of science I would enjoy! I spend most of my time drawing and building, much like Leonardo da
Vinci did. And it just so happens that I've always had an eye for science, and it seems to be my best subject. I hope that maybe, just maybe, one day, I
will be just as good as artist as Leonardo da Vinci. So as I conclude my essay, I would like to say just one more genius quote by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci : A Genius Before His Time
Over 500 years ago, a man named Leonardo da Vinci was born. He was very important to history. He invented numerous things. The things that he
invented were advanced for his time. He was a master engineer, architect, painter, inventor, and sculptor. Since he was all of these things, he became
known as a "renaissance man". He was even mentioned in my history book because of his many talents ("Leonardo Da Vinci", "Leonardo da Vinci: A
Genius Before His Time", Mazour).
Leonardo Da Vinci was born in Vinci on April 15, 1452. He was born to his Father Ser Piero and his Mother Caterina. They were not married, so he
was an illegitimate child. Leonardo had little education. His education consisted of: reading, writing, and arithmetic classes. When ... Show more

After living in Florence for sometime, he moved and later became an engineer and military architect in the Papal Army. There, he put his skills to
work and created maps for the Papal Army, which was led by the Pope's son (Heydenreich). After this, his life was uneventful. He was commissioned
to do more paintings and eventually died on May 2, 1519 (Heydenreich).
As a child, Leonardo was not interested in his education. When he began to study art, that's when his interest in learning grew. As an adult, he taught
himself everything he knew. When he was in art class, his teacher taught him many types of art. He learned about drawing, painting, mechanical
engineering, and sculpting. In our world history book, it mentions the reason he began studying humans so much was so he could draw them
accurately. This lead to his interest in science. When he would create inventions or sculptures, he used engineering to make them more accurate. This
probably lead to his interest in math, engineering, and sculpting (Mazour, "Leonardo Da Vinci").
During his life he created few things, but those things were invented so well that they are still known and talked about today. One of his inventions
was the flying machine. This flying machine was based on creatures that are able to fly, such as a bat. The reason

Leonardo Da Vinci Accomplishments
Leonardo Da Vinci grew up in Florence where at the age of twenty he was accepted into the Florences Guild of St. Luke as a master artist. This was
just the beginning for Leonardo for he would later be recognized as one of the greatest artists, engineers, and scientist of all time. Throughout his life
Leonardo explored all of these fields and through this he encountered many important discoveries. He was able to exchange some of these discoveries
through his paintings as he popularized and created certain techniques through his paintings. He was also able to share some of his ideas of engineering
because he was commissioned to work on many projects involving things such as: architecture, military engineering, canal building, and weapons
design.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He then was able to exchange these ideas with the world either by his notebooks or during his life by selling his paintings or using his engineering
skills to make military weapons or architecture. In these ways Leonardo Da Vinci was able to explore art, engineering, and science. During his
exploration he encountered many scientific discoveries, artistic techniques, and feats of engineering. After Leonardo encountered these techniques
and discoveries he exchanged it for currency. However now the knowledge found in his notebooks is not exchanged with using any type of
currency. Rather it is exchanged for recognition and critical acclaim for being one of the finest artists, engineers, and scientists of the Renaissance.
He made very impressive inventions using engineering such as an extremely large crossbow that requires two men to fire. He made great strides in
sciences such as anatomy by dissecting recently deceased corpses. Many of his ideas and the things he studied changed the world such as his work
with anatomy, his creation of scissors and the parachute, as well as his work with engineering which created beautiful pieces of architecture. In
conclusion Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest explorers of all time. Not because he explored new lands or discovered a new form of life. But
because he explored art, engineering, and science in such a way that he encountered amazing discoveries and new ways of thinking. After this he
exchanged this knowledge with the world through what he did with that knowledge during his

Standing In The Shoes Of Michelangelo And Leonardo Da Vinci
Both of the assignments, Standing in the Shoes of Michelangelo and Leonardo, were interesting and fascinating in their processes. One of the
easiest aspects of Standing in the shoes of Leonardo would be the process of determining what to portray, since the template of the linear
perspective was used as a guide and helped through the entire process. However, the difficult aspect of Standing in the Shoes of Leonardo would be
making a distinguishable atmospheric perspective since the process requires skill and experience to achieve with clarity. On the other hand, one of
the easiest aspects of Standing in the shoes of Michelangelo would be the carving process since an individual just has to have patience to finish
carving from start to finish. However, the most difficult aspect of Standing in the Shoes of Michelangelo would be preparation. Preparation is the
most difficult aspect because an individual should definitely consider proper research, otherwise an individual may use the wrong materials or
consider sculpting a figure that could possibly be beyond their levels of expertise and experience.
Leonardo da Vinci's Paragone details how a sculptor's work should be appreciated at the same level or below the level of a painter's work. Leonardo

Leonardo's painting actually represents the different reactions of the Apostles when Jesus told them that they would be the reason for his death and
that someone among them is a betrayer. We can see from the expressions on their faces as well as their postures that they all feel various degrees
of anger and surprise. Bartholomew, James and Andrew, who are at the very left corner of the table, look shocked, while Matthew, Jude and
Simon, which are at the opposite corner seem to discuss what had just happened. Actually, Matthew and Jude are turned toward Simon and it
appears like they are trying to find out if he has any answer to their primary questions. Really interesting is the posture of Judas who is the only
person with his right elbow on the table. He looks rather reserved and stunned by the sudden revelation of his plan. Judas is wearing blue and green
clothes and is clutching a small bag, which is recognized by many to be the silver given to him as payment to betray Jesus. The most important part
of his representation is that he is in shadow, which somehow reveals that he is responsible for the future death of Christ. Next to Judas are Peter, who
is visibly furious, and John who looks like is going to fade away. And here is again one of the many questions that this work raise– is it John on the

his father, Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci. Da Vinci was an only child until he was 25. He was an apprentice for Andrea di Cione, known as
Verrocchio. When Da Vinci was 20 he worked on his first painting. In 1479, he moved toFlorence, Italy. He did a painting in 1480 and never finished
it. In 1482, he moved to Milan, Italy. While he was in Milan he volunteered to be a military engineer. He did many paintings while he was in Milan.

He put a secret message in this painting. In 1499, the French destroyed the horse sculpture. After the horse got destroyed he started trying to figure out
how humans could fly. He invented a helicopter that needed four people to turn cranks to make it fly. Then, he made hang–glides and parachutes, but
he knew that they would not work. Da Vinci moved back to his home town. When he got to his home town in 1502 he started working on the Mona
Lisa.
In 1911, his Mona Lisa was stolen from a museum in Italy. It was kept in a house hidden in the bottom of a suitcase. It was offered back for money,
but they did not take it back for money. The person that stole it got arrested in 1913. The Mona Lisa was more popular than ever after it was stolen.
In 1503, he got to do a mural in the city council. He did not have the desire to finish the mural. People do not know why he did not have the desire
to finish the mural. People think it was, because his enemy did a painting on the wall behind him. In 1507, he started to dissect dead human beings.

When Della Torre died, he started to do the dissections himself and also drew his dissections to have a better visual of the human body. He then
started to put his better study of the human body onto his artwork which is seen in the Vitruvian Man. The picture was named after the ancient
Roman architect Vitruvius. The Vitruvian man showed the proportions of the average human, like the shoulder proportions and arm length.
Vitruvius was also a man like Da Vinci in the way both men seemed to study subjects out of their specialty, so the Vitruvian Man stood as a symbol
of an interest of all things. The Vitruvian Man did not only stand for science and math but also in an architectural sense as Da Vinci discussed in text
the symmetry and proportions as related to buildings of temples. Da Vinci's artwork for anatomy is still today unrivaled. He dissected around 30
cadavers to study the human body better, and he also made wax molds of the human heart and brain, to study them even further. People during the
time thought the heart was just a source of a vital spirit but he realized it was just another muscle. Da Vinci was the first anatomist to correctly number

To start The Last Supper was supposed to be a modest wall decoration, but Leonardo was able to turn it into a revolutionary artistic composition of
The Last Supper. Leonardo chose to depict the moment when Christ declared that one of them will betray him. The Apostles gathered around the
table with Jesus shocked and St. John couldn't believe the news and fainted, even St. Peter was so angered that he pulled out a knife. In this
painting, Judas is shown on the same side of the table as Christ, never before has this happened in history. Judas is being shown on the same side of
the table as christ, but it is shown that he is leaning away betraying his guilt to the viewers. The Apostles are organized into four groups of three,
whom of which are all aligned on one side of the table. As said before there are three windows behind the table while those windows are evenly
spaced, those windows also have three dark niches along each side, three of them being associated with the Holy Trinity. Although there is quite a
shock of news in this painting, it still remains pretty calm but its mood is very thoughtful, questionable making someone think about what is being

Andrea Del Castagno Analysis
During the Renaissance, a religious view of the world made a huge impact on art. The biblical character David became an emerging popular subject
among artists. Although David's story is quite simple, artists faced challenges creating a visual representation of the young hero. The two main
obstacles were discovering how to portray the body committing the act, and also rendering the spirit of the act itself. Among the artists who tried to
recreate this story visually were Andrea del Castagno and Andrea del Verrocchio. Castagno introduced his form of the David through painting. The
piece was entitled David with the Head of Goliath, and was originally used as a parade shield. It differed from common parade shields, which were
decorated with simple coat and arms, due to its rare painted scene. The shield was believed to "have been carried in civic or religious processions or

His David is depicted in a confident pose after the battle with Goliath is already won, while Castagno depicts David in both the moment of fighting
the giant and after defeating him. Both art works show Goliath's head under David's feet, but Castagno tells more of the biblical story in his imagery
and action. The piece being painted upon a shield also plays a testimonial role. In the Old Testament, David is a young shepherd; he uses the motive
that if God protects his sheep than God too will protect him before going into battle with Goliath. By painting this imagery on a shield, one can
conclude that God is David's shield (David). Verrocchio's work lacks this deeper analytical meaning. Andrea del Castagno's David with Head of
Goliath stands 45 1/2 x 30 1/8 inches wide at the top and 45 1/2 x 16 inches wide at the bottom. The work was made of tempera on leather on wood.

learned skills from Verrocchio such as painting, sculpting, and goldsmithing. He later evolved the skills he learned from Verrocchio and turned them
into his own creating new and better ways to paint and sculpt. Not a lot is said about his religion other than that he was a Catholic which goes to
show that religion did not take much of a place in his studies and life. His painting showed how he thought religion should be viewed and tought in the
more pure of forms. Instead saw the ideals of the leaders of the church were corrupt and misleading thus Leonardo Da Vinci never had an active role in

Analysis Of The Wedding At Cana
The artwork by Paolo Veronese were known for being created on large platforms and were centered on religious topics. One notable works of his
was The Wedding at Cana. This piece is a depiction of Jesus' first miracle as he turned water into wine for a wedding celebration. Based in Venice,
Veronese's life was heavily influenced by the Christian culture and was esteemed by the community and church officials for his artistic abilities. As
Veronese painted in the Mannerist style, The Wedding at Cana was an asymmetrical painting with elegant principles. Also, Veronese heavily used
vibrant colors to show the richness of the subjects and to create light. This painting has lived through several interesting eras and owners. Wars and
political overlords dominated the geography of this painting and even damaged the canvas. Since Veronese's style and talents were sought after, his
work, religious and secular, was mostly commissioned by patrons of the Venetian community. Veronese was a painter fond of the Mannerist style in
the High Renaissance era. As he aged, art and religion were important aspects of Veronese's life. He fully embraced the traditions and regulations of his
God and was even commissioned because of his talent and devotion to the church. While a teenager, many church officials in his area asked Veronese
to paint important works of art in their churches. The Giustiniania family esteemed Veronese so highly that they wanted him to paint inside of their

tendency in art and in outlooks which had been proper to his teacher were not inherited by da Vinci. The figure of the angel in the painting "Baptism"
already clearly demonstrates the difference in the perception of the world artists of the past and a new era of pores: no frontal flatness of Verrocchio,

Anatomy took a large part in the three years it took to create and perfect Mona Lisa's smile. Da Vinci spent hours in the morgue studying many
cadavers and pulling off their skin to revel the muscles around the mouth. He was intrigued to know how a smile forms, but was more astonished
and curious about the relationship between the brain and the nervous system. He experienced difficulties for the lips are small and the nerves go

Screw was never physically built or tested by himself, but his sketches and notes explained exactly how it was supposed to have worked. This

with a period of political and religious unrest which lead to and age of anxiety and crisis where the clarity and confidence of the High Renaissance was
lost (Benton and DiYanni 37–38). Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Parmigianino show some differences in Renaissance and Mannerism with their

The column in the background on the right symbolizes the torture of Jesus, because he was bound to a column (Benton and DiYanni 38). The small
prophet in the bottom right hand corner just seems to take up room where there was not much detail with out him.
After discussing both Renaissance paintings and Mannerist paintings it goes to show that during the Renaissance times the artist cared more about the
realistic details that were put into the art. Unlike in Parmigianino's painting of the Madonna she gives her an unrealistically long neck and fingers.
During the Renaissance it was all about the Church and representing it, once the sack of Rome happened in 1527 that is when everything went down
hill and people began to paint in the distorted, uneven manner of Mannerism. In both the Madonna of the Rocks and the Madonna of the Meadows
there is a sense of peace for them both being out in nature where everything is pure. Also they both seem happier; the expressions on the faces seem
less concerned as in Parmigianino's.

behind the brush of some of the most iconic paintings ever, including "The Last Supper", "Mona Lisa", and "Vitruvian Man." He was commissioned
by Ludovico in 1495 to begin the last supper. The painting took da Vinci nearly three years, and shows the moment went Jesus notifies his Twelve
Apostles that one of them would soon betray him. Da Vinci does an incredible job of capturing the intensity of the moment. He demonstrates his
brilliance with his masterful strokes that portray the facial expressions and body language of everyone in the room ("Leonardo da Vinci"). Leonardo
spent a lot of time examining the human body to try perfecting his art. He had an acute understanding of proportions and movements of the human
body. In his painting, "Vitruvian Man", it is clear that he understands more than most humans of that time period. "Vitruvian Man" states that the
average man is nearly two meters tall, and his outstretched arms are equal to the length of his body ("The Complete Works"). In the "Mona Lisa", uses
some of his own techniques to make the painting extremely realistic. He treated objects as 3–D figures, and used shadows, instead of lines, when
outlining figures. Nobody knows who "Mona Lisa" depicts, but that is beside the fact. It is easily one of the most famous paintings of all time. Using

How Did Leonardo Da Vinci Done

  • 1. How Did Leonardo Da Vinci Done "Art is never finished, only abandoned." This is one of Leonardo da Vinci's famous quotes. I personally find it appealing and memorizing. This is 100% true as well! Nothing in life is ever truly finished! Leonardo da Vinci was pure genius, however not just from his quotes. He did much, much, more! Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452. He was born in VinciItaly. His exact birthplace was in a farmhouse in the middle of the beautiful hills of Tuscany outside the village of Anchiano in what is now Italy. Leonardo da Vinci most likely spent most of his time with his uncle, Francesco, instead of his two unmarried parents. At the age of 15, Leonardo da Vinci became the apprentice of the artistAndrea del Verrocchio. Andrea del Verrocchio... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He studied the field of civil engineering, and created many amazing inventions. His invention of the parachute was an international breakthrough! He also invented scissors, which also changed the world, and is nowadays used in almost every classroom and almost every household. Leonardo da Vinci also sketched up the first helicopter. He may not have built it, but he did imagaine it, and his sketch helped modern day scientists and engineers build the helicopter. Not only did Leonardo da Vinci sketch the helicopter, create the parachute, and invent the scissors, but he also built The Revolving Bridge. The Revolving Bridge was a portable bridge, used over a variety of bodies of water. It was mostly used by armies to pass over rivers, streams, and small lakes. Leonardo da Vinci originally designed it for Duke Sforza. I think that this field of science is something I would like to study because I enjoy both building and creating, and I adore art. I definitely think that if I ever become a scientist, this would be the field of science I would enjoy! I spend most of my time drawing and building, much like Leonardo da Vinci did. And it just so happens that I've always had an eye for science, and it seems to be my best subject. I hope that maybe, just maybe, one day, I will be just as good as artist as Leonardo da Vinci. So as I conclude my essay, I would like to say just one more genius quote by Leonardo da Vinci ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Excavation season is typically during the summer and archaeological "digs" typically last one week to three months, Before, during and after archaeologists dig for artefacts, they collect data about the archaeological site, record interviews and make notes of their observations. Some types of data include photographs, maps, soil samples, measurements, drawings and detailed reports about the excavation. Archaeologists also survey the site using GPS technology and other electronic devices and input data into databases. Artefacts discovered and obtained through excavation undergo a conservation process in a lab. They are cleaned and restored by trained conservators, and as the items are stabilized, additional notes are made to record their characteristics. Archaeologists are typically actively involved in conservation activities and may take measures to ensure laws exist to preserve the sites. They want to protect cultural heritage by ensuring sites and remains are properly ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Leonardo Da Vinci : A Genius Before His Time Over 500 years ago, a man named Leonardo da Vinci was born. He was very important to history. He invented numerous things. The things that he invented were advanced for his time. He was a master engineer, architect, painter, inventor, and sculptor. Since he was all of these things, he became known as a "renaissance man". He was even mentioned in my history book because of his many talents ("Leonardo Da Vinci", "Leonardo da Vinci: A Genius Before His Time", Mazour). Leonardo Da Vinci was born in Vinci on April 15, 1452. He was born to his Father Ser Piero and his Mother Caterina. They were not married, so he was an illegitimate child. Leonardo had little education. His education consisted of: reading, writing, and arithmetic classes. When ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... After living in Florence for sometime, he moved and later became an engineer and military architect in the Papal Army. There, he put his skills to work and created maps for the Papal Army, which was led by the Pope's son (Heydenreich). After this, his life was uneventful. He was commissioned to do more paintings and eventually died on May 2, 1519 (Heydenreich). As a child, Leonardo was not interested in his education. When he began to study art, that's when his interest in learning grew. As an adult, he taught himself everything he knew. When he was in art class, his teacher taught him many types of art. He learned about drawing, painting, mechanical engineering, and sculpting. In our world history book, it mentions the reason he began studying humans so much was so he could draw them accurately. This lead to his interest in science. When he would create inventions or sculptures, he used engineering to make them more accurate. This probably lead to his interest in math, engineering, and sculpting (Mazour, "Leonardo Da Vinci"). During his life he created few things, but those things were invented so well that they are still known and talked about today. One of his inventions was the flying machine. This flying machine was based on creatures that are able to fly, such as a bat. The reason ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Leonardo Da Vinci's Accomplishments his first commission in 1478. He was asked to paint an altar piece showing the Nativity. Da Vinci was one of the first artists to paint the mother of Jesus smiling and playing with her baby (La Madonna Benois). Before this, artists always showed Jesus and His mother looking very serious. In 1481 da Vinci was asked to paint two pictures (St. Jerome and The Adoration of the Magi) that he never finished, and nobody knows why. During his life he left other paintings unfinished as well. When he did finish a painting, people began to take notice of him as a serious artist. Leonardo's first portrait was of Ginevra de' Benci and was one of the few he ever completed. In this painting he used what he learned about nature and science to make the background ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Leonardo Da Vinci Accomplishments Leonardo Da Vinci grew up in Florence where at the age of twenty he was accepted into the Florences Guild of St. Luke as a master artist. This was just the beginning for Leonardo for he would later be recognized as one of the greatest artists, engineers, and scientist of all time. Throughout his life Leonardo explored all of these fields and through this he encountered many important discoveries. He was able to exchange some of these discoveries through his paintings as he popularized and created certain techniques through his paintings. He was also able to share some of his ideas of engineering because he was commissioned to work on many projects involving things such as: architecture, military engineering, canal building, and weapons design.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He then was able to exchange these ideas with the world either by his notebooks or during his life by selling his paintings or using his engineering skills to make military weapons or architecture. In these ways Leonardo Da Vinci was able to explore art, engineering, and science. During his exploration he encountered many scientific discoveries, artistic techniques, and feats of engineering. After Leonardo encountered these techniques and discoveries he exchanged it for currency. However now the knowledge found in his notebooks is not exchanged with using any type of currency. Rather it is exchanged for recognition and critical acclaim for being one of the finest artists, engineers, and scientists of the Renaissance. He made very impressive inventions using engineering such as an extremely large crossbow that requires two men to fire. He made great strides in sciences such as anatomy by dissecting recently deceased corpses. Many of his ideas and the things he studied changed the world such as his work with anatomy, his creation of scissors and the parachute, as well as his work with engineering which created beautiful pieces of architecture. In conclusion Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest explorers of all time. Not because he explored new lands or discovered a new form of life. But because he explored art, engineering, and science in such a way that he encountered amazing discoveries and new ways of thinking. After this he exchanged this knowledge with the world through what he did with that knowledge during his ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Standing In The Shoes Of Michelangelo And Leonardo Da Vinci Both of the assignments, Standing in the Shoes of Michelangelo and Leonardo, were interesting and fascinating in their processes. One of the easiest aspects of Standing in the shoes of Leonardo would be the process of determining what to portray, since the template of the linear perspective was used as a guide and helped through the entire process. However, the difficult aspect of Standing in the Shoes of Leonardo would be making a distinguishable atmospheric perspective since the process requires skill and experience to achieve with clarity. On the other hand, one of the easiest aspects of Standing in the shoes of Michelangelo would be the carving process since an individual just has to have patience to finish carving from start to finish. However, the most difficult aspect of Standing in the Shoes of Michelangelo would be preparation. Preparation is the most difficult aspect because an individual should definitely consider proper research, otherwise an individual may use the wrong materials or consider sculpting a figure that could possibly be beyond their levels of expertise and experience. Leonardo da Vinci's Paragone details how a sculptor's work should be appreciated at the same level or below the level of a painter's work. Leonardo considers sculptors as individuals who do not use their intelligence to sculpt, but instead use physical labor. Additionally, da Vinci believes that sculptors do not use their imagination or creativity, but instead use nature to create ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Leonardo Da Vinci Research Paper Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci Italy. Da Vinci was raised by his father who noticed his art skills at a young age. At age 14 he began apprenticing with the artist Verrocchio. He was Verrocchio's apprentice for 6 years and he learned a variety of different techniques. He surpassed his master very fast.

Another very famous work of art he did was called The Last Supper. He was commissioned in 1495 to paint this mural for a church being renovated. He worked on this painting from 1495–1499.

  • 8. The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci Analysis FORMAL ANALISYS: THE LAST SUPPER BY LEONARDO DA VINCI As we all know the Last Supper is the last dinner that Jesus shared with his Apostles before he was betrayed and crucified. Although this theme occurs in many works, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is the most famous and has been a subject of many discussions. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most remarkable painters, sculptors, architects and brilliant philosophers of all time. He was born on April 15, 1452 near Vinci but the biggest part of his life he spent in Florence where he began drawing and after a certain period–painting. When Leonardo was fourteen he began working with Andrea del Verrocchio, who was one of the most recognized painters of his day. Da Vinci's work soon... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Leonardo's painting actually represents the different reactions of the Apostles when Jesus told them that they would be the reason for his death and that someone among them is a betrayer. We can see from the expressions on their faces as well as their postures that they all feel various degrees of anger and surprise. Bartholomew, James and Andrew, who are at the very left corner of the table, look shocked, while Matthew, Jude and Simon, which are at the opposite corner seem to discuss what had just happened. Actually, Matthew and Jude are turned toward Simon and it appears like they are trying to find out if he has any answer to their primary questions. Really interesting is the posture of Judas who is the only person with his right elbow on the table. He looks rather reserved and stunned by the sudden revelation of his plan. Judas is wearing blue and green clothes and is clutching a small bag, which is recognized by many to be the silver given to him as payment to betray Jesus. The most important part of his representation is that he is in shadow, which somehow reveals that he is responsible for the future death of Christ. Next to Judas are Peter, who is visibly furious, and John who looks like is going to fade away. And here is again one of the many questions that this work raise– is it John on the painting or is it Mary Magdalene? Some art analyzers claim that the person to Jesus is not the Apostle John but Mary Magdalene. In fact, this ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Leonardo Da Vinci Research Paper Leonardo Da Vinci was a famous Italian Renaissance polymath painter and sculptor. He was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He lived with his father, Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci. Da Vinci was an only child until he was 25. He was an apprentice for Andrea di Cione, known as Verrocchio. When Da Vinci was 20 he worked on his first painting. In 1479, he moved toFlorence, Italy. He did a painting in 1480 and never finished it. In 1482, he moved to Milan, Italy. While he was in Milan he volunteered to be a military engineer. He did many paintings while he was in Milan. Da Vinci won the duke over in 1489. He got to do the horse sculpture that he wanted to do.

In 1499, the French destroyed the horse sculpture. After the horse got destroyed he started trying to figure out how humans could fly. He invented a helicopter that needed four people to turn cranks to make it fly. Then, he made hang–glides and parachutes, but he knew that they would not work. Da Vinci moved back to his home town. When he got to his home town in 1502 he started working on the Mona Lisa. In 1911, his Mona Lisa was stolen from a museum in Italy. It was kept in a house hidden in the bottom of a suitcase. It was offered back for money, but they did not take it back for money. The person that stole it got arrested in 1913. The Mona Lisa was more popular than ever after it was stolen. In 1503, he got to do a mural in the city council. He did not have the desire to finish the mural. People do not know why he did not have the desire to finish the mural. People think it was, because his enemy did a painting on the wall behind him. In 1507, he started to dissect dead human beings. Even though this was illegal he did it anyways.

His David is depicted in a confident pose after the battle with Goliath is already won, while Castagno depicts David in both the moment of fighting the giant and after defeating him. Both art works show Goliath's head under David's feet, but Castagno tells more of the biblical story in his imagery and action. The piece being painted upon a shield also plays a testimonial role. In the Old Testament, David is a young shepherd; he uses the motive that if God protects his sheep than God too will protect him before going into battle with Goliath. By painting this imagery on a shield, one can conclude that God is David's shield (David). Verrocchio's work lacks this deeper analytical meaning.

  • 32. Leonardo Da Vinci Aerial Screw Leonardo Da Vinci's Aerial Screw is said to be the predecessor of the modern day helicopter, which came 450 years later. The idea was to build a machine that would compress air and allow it to fly, like how most modern day helicopters function. Like many of Da Vinci's ideas, the Aerial Screw was never physically built or tested by himself, but his sketches and notes explained exactly how it was supposed to have worked. This machine was also called the Helical Air Screw, which originated from the Greek word helix, which means spiral. "If this instrument made with a screw be well made that is to say, made of linen of which the pores are stopped up with starch and be turned swiftly, the said screw will make its spiral in the air and it will rise high," was how Da Vinci explained the aerial screw should work. The device was over 15 feet long and made of reed, linen, and wires, with the main wings being 2 meters long. The Aerial Screw was designed to be a man–powered machine, but with the absence of engines and the weight of the device, there was no way men would be able to produce enough energy to lift themselves against gravity.

  • 33. Rennaissance and Mannerist Essay The art work from the 1400's to the 1600's showed a drastic change after 1520 when Mannerism was brought about. After a while the Mannerist style was known to not be such a good thing. People saw the paintings as not classical and distorted or out of proportion. Mannerism seemed to coincide with a period of political and religious unrest which lead to and age of anxiety and crisis where the clarity and confidence of the High Renaissance was lost (Benton and DiYanni 37–38). Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Parmigianino show some differences in Renaissance and Mannerism with their works of art of the Madonna. Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna of the Rocks was painted in 1483 at the time of the High Renaissance. Everything is directly proportional ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The column in the background on the right symbolizes the torture of Jesus, because he was bound to a column (Benton and DiYanni 38). The small prophet in the bottom right hand corner just seems to take up room where there was not much detail with out him. After discussing both Renaissance paintings and Mannerist paintings it goes to show that during the Renaissance times the artist cared more about the realistic details that were put into the art. Unlike in Parmigianino's painting of the Madonna she gives her an unrealistically long neck and fingers. During the Renaissance it was all about the Church and representing it, once the sack of Rome happened in 1527 that is when everything went down hill and people began to paint in the distorted, uneven manner of Mannerism. In both the Madonna of the Rocks and the Madonna of the Meadows there is a sense of peace for them both being out in nature where everything is pure. Also they both seem happier; the expressions on the faces seem less concerned as in Parmigianino's. Benton, Janetta Rebold, and Robert DiYanni. Art and Cultures: An Introduction to the Humanities.
