Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) is a standout amongst the most interesting identities ever. Prepared in Florence as a painter and stone carver in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio (1435–1488), Leonardo is additionally celebrated for his experimental commitments. Leonardo 's interest and unquenchable yearn for learning never left him. He was continually watching, testing, and designing, and drawing was, for him, an apparatus for recording his examination of nature. Albeit finished works by…

engineers who followed. It is a strange concept to think during his time someone would not only have the notion that something so foreign as flight may be possible but have the ingenuity to conceptualize it. A flying machine was only but one of Leonardos interests in the field of engineering, his notebooks are full of projects and ides that lead one to believe he had a truly unique mind and would not settle to pursue a single…

Art is constantly changing. Styles come in and out of favor, subject matter old and new are painted and explored, and new techniques are developed. One major development and new technique that vastly changed art was the use of linear perspective during 15th Century Italy. As with any new technique, the use of linear perspective took a while to advance and become the mathematically based depth cue that people now know it as.

In the curing times, I believe that we have never seen an oil painter like Jenny Saville. To me, her work is something I could spend hours looking at. The way her paint blends but yet how it still stand out on its own. The way she paints is not going to painting to painting, she takes her time with each piece to make it the best that it can be. Many people compare her work to Lucian Ferdana and Sir Peter Paul Rubens. Saville is renowned for her update to the traditional oil painting, having…

Medium- Medium refers to the material used to create a piece of artwork. Most artworks are created for different purposes and to tell distinctive stories and by using various mediums the artist can achieve this. Two examples of unlike mediums include paintings and hand-colored prints. An interesting example of an unconventional medium is an artwork called “Maple Leaves on a River” created by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). This artist took a sheet of paper he had painted blue and let a chicken…

Arguably, the greatest person the Medici family provided patronage to was an inventor, artist, engineer, and writer named Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci had an unmeasurable impact upon the Renaissance and the way he approached life still is of use for leaders today. There is no better example of genius and a person whom embodied humanism. Michael Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci, describes seven Da Vincian approaches to life. Even though these approaches are geared toward a…

with the human bodies as if they were vividly photographed. Leonardo was also known by its strong use of vanishing point that can be seeing in the rocks that are vanishing into the fug giving a mysterious but also outstanding feel to it. Even though this is a dark painting, the color red from the angel’s tunic gives dimension in the composition giving a balance to the whole atmosphere. What makes this painting interesting is that Leonardo didn’t paint the virgin with ostentatious details, he…

considered a “Renaissance Man?” These questions call be answered when you look at man like Leonardo da Vinci. He epitomizes the meaning of “Renaissance Man.” The man is known for his art, but his pure talent fused with many things from science to architect. He is what is considered the perfect man of that time. He is a once in a lifetime person, I do not believe the world will ever experience a man like him. Leonardo is most known for his art, for example, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. But,…
