Her husband, Francesco Del Giocondo, had requested for da Vinci to paint his wife in celebration of both their new home and the birth of their second son. Interestingly enough, however, Giocondo never actually received the painting he had commissioned da Vinci to do; da Vinci was a rigorous when it came to his artwork, and he was always seeking perfection.

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…

It has Leonardo traits, but it doesn 't carry his metaphysical individuality. La Bella is the only painting of Leonardo 's to have an object sitting in front of the subject and the viewer. La Belle also most closely resembles the Mona Lisa, who wasn 't painted until 15 years after Belle. The paintings that Leonardo was making at the time period of La Belle were still rather stylized, and all beared some sort of resemblance, La Belle being the odd one out.

some of them do not make any sense and it is no secret that the posts were rushed and not thought through clearly. I think it is obvious that I was most interested in Module 4: The High Renaissance. I seriously had too many words to discuss the Mona Lisa. My post was detailed and my comments were as well.

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, there is so much more to him than that, he has dozens of journals filled with theories and observations, he was not appreciated as much as he should have for his work, this is because his work was so complex that…

The squealing pig demonstration of Galen is one of the most famous single physiological demonstrations of all time that even Leonardo da Vinci was inspired to produce a beautiful drawing of the recurrent laryngeal nerves (Gross, 1997). According to Gross (1998), it was Galen’s squealing pig demonstration that brought the first experimental and publicly repeatable evidence that the brain controls behavior.

His most famous works, The Mona Lisa (1503–1519), and The Last Supper (1495–1498), represent how the artist is considered the best painter ever. The Last Supper depicts Christ and his 12 disciples and their reactions, after he says to them, “One of you will betray me.” It is considered a perfect composition and shows such particular emotions on the faces of the disciples that no other artist could achieve. In the Mona Lisa, Da Vinci presents a woman, that is debated to be several…
