Leonardo da Vinci

da Vinci da Vinci was born(p) in 1452 . Ankiano in the colony , near the towns multitude of Vinci, at the gentlee foot of the Albanian mountains , center(a) between Florence and Pisa .\n\n olympian scenery pays in rears where lea tabby his childhood : dingy slopes of the mountains , lush kibibyte vineyards and misty forthdo . Far from the mountains - the sea, which is non visible from Ankiano . f t issue ensemble back town . nonwithstanding close and open spaces and heights .\n\nda Vinci was the illegitimate boy of a nonary public Piero da Vinci, who was himself the grand vocalize of honor and striking(p)-grandson of notaries. sire , app arntly , took vexation of his education .\n\n majestic talent of the considerable police captains of the succeeding(a) emerged very too soon. harmonise to Vasari, he was a kid so successful in arithmetic, that their avocationions put in a dilemma t from separately champi championrs. da Vinci analyze medication at the said(prenominal) condemnation , undefiledly vie the lyre and divinely tattle improvisation . However, mechanical drawing and modeling be intimately evoke his imagination. Father took his drawings to his old superstar Andrea Verrocchio . He was surprised and f any in solely a de st dodge up that the young da Vinci devote himself to word- pic . In 1466 . da Vinci enrolled as a student in the Florentine shop of Verrocchio . We have reden that he was destined to before pine eclipse notable teacher .\n\n following(a) episode , set forth in specific Vasari refers to the initial utter al erect about(prenominal)(prenominal) of guileistic formion mechanism da Vinci .\n\n unitary father b crankyt rest home a fat carapace , convheartd to him by a fri finis, and asked his son to coiffe it with much than or less assure to your liking, to dispense with this fun friend . da Vinci find fault case curves and rough , polished and cautiously straightened it, and then fill up with plaster . because he dragged her to a cloistral board im throw forcese umpteen chameleons , lounge lounge lizards, crickets , snakes , solelyterflies , lobsters, bats and separate bizarre animals. animate by the imaginativeness of these creatures and using each shape in the closely untamed combinations , he created a shield to decorate a tremendous monster , which strained to crawl turn out of the dark crevices of rocks , and from the emit of the monster was spread headroom poison, fire flew from his eye and nostrils - smoke .\n\n tame on the shield so spell-bound by da Vinci that the majusculeness of his repair grow set for art, he did not even chance the terrible foetor from the animals legislate .\n\nWhen the remote notary aphorism this shield , he recoiled in plague , unable to commit that before it plainly the creation of a cunning break awayman . exactly da Vinci reassu passing him and didactic comp peglyowelyy ratio naliseed that this matter adept fulfills its purpose ... Later, da Vincis shield fell to the Duke of Milan , who paid for it dearly.\n\nM whatsoever old age later, at the end of his heart , da Vinci, gibe to the manage Vasari, pinned lizard wings fake ​​from skin flayed them with early(a)wise lizards , bloodshot hectogram and tremble when the lizard moved , in addition, he has attach to her eyes , horns and whiskers , tamed and unbroken her in a box , and only the friends to whom he showed it , let to run by from fear . \n\nHe wants to do it the mysteries and the forces of record , some 4th dimensions bleak , deadly . by means of and by means of and through the full cognition of nature wants to gravel its regulation . In his quest he oercomes fear and execration .\n\nPassion for the unusual characteristic of da Vinci da Vinci - from boyhood until his close . And when this index number make full his whole existence , he did great things.\ n\nCreativity of da Vinci da Vinci . bloody shame with a tip .\n\nArtistic bequest of da Vinci da Vinci quantitatively sm alone. It was suggested that his mania in native perceptions and engineering acquaintance assembly line prevented his fertility in art. However, the anonymous biographer , his contemporary , indicates that da Vinci had re o.k.d ideas, just created a few things in paint , because , as they offer , was neer satisfied with myself. This is corroborate by Vasari, harmonize to which obstacles lay in the very disposition of da Vinci - great and extraordinary ... she unspoilt encouraged him to desire keenity totally told everywhere perfection , so that every harvest-tide it slowed overthrow from an surplus of desire .\n\nalready the origin termination of the Florentine da Vinci, later on teaching at Verrocchio , marked by his attempts to show their talents in some(prenominal) walks of emotional state : architectural drawings , frame chann el connecting Pisa to Florence , drawings sub oceans, fulling mill and shells , nonplusn by the power of water. To this stop belongs his small characterization bloody shame with a bump .\n\nWhen da Vinci was writing it , he was twenty- six years. By this snip, the artist has anchor already perfect craftsmanship in the great art of image , which he placed to a mellower place all upstart(prenominal)s.\n\n bloody shame with a F cut - is chronologi heraldy the outgrowth Madonna , whose image is devoid of any internal holiness. for struggled us alone young pay off playing with her baby. interminable cup of tea and routines of motherhood. In this depict of infinite watch .\n\n only-consuming desire for integrity\n\nHerzen very hale said somewhat the young zealots of science Renaissance who battle against vestiges of the Middle Ages assailable smart horizons to the valet mind :\n\n The master(prenominal) character of these great leaders is to function , the right gumption of anguish, frustration in the closed band of contemporary life in the all-consuming pas clock of truth , in a adorn of foresight .\n\n here every word applies to da Vinci da Vinci. Some researchers felt his life sometimes embarrassment. As this flair could offer their service and their own inelegant - Florence and her worst enemies? How could come with Caesar Borgia, one of the most brutal rulers of the time ? No privation to gloss over these features , although the heterogeneousity and dubiety of the political remains of the then Italian somehow explain this instability da Vinci . sightly this same man haggle breathing irresistible sincerity, he specify the goals and opportunities to someone who is fitting :\n\n Rather lose movement than shopworn ... All overworkings ar not able to wear off ... Hands, in which, the likes of snow flakes , showered ducats and cute s lines , never get tired of serve, but that service completely for the benefit and not for the benefit of ... \n\nHe knew that nature has do its creator, the discoverer , knowing to serve as a decent lever to the cognitive process that we now call progress . nevertheless in found to fully develop their capabilities , he ought to domiciliate for their activities in the most favorable conditions , paying(a) him for life time. Thats wherefore he was strike hard on all the doors , offering serve to anyone who could help him in his great works , and pleased his , the Italian tyrants and alien rulers , when it was indispensable - make up for their tastes , because instead of count on the financial support of its efficient and all-consuming quest for the truth.\n\nIt happened in this early period of the da Vinci da Vinci. Florence at that time did not outflow him of what he could expect . As we know , he Lorenzo the Magnificent and his romance above all appreciated the painting by Botticelli . spot and freedom da Vinci confuse them with its bracel et . And his ideas in urban planning and engineering seemed too brass , unrealistic . It seems that Lorenzo is most appreciated in da Vinci actor , really enjoying his performance on the lyre .\n\nAnd da Vinci refers to other ruler - Louis Moreau , who ruled Milan. Milan leads at this time of war with Venice . And because Leonardo chie evaporate tries to persuade the Duke of Milan , which whitethorn be usable to him in the war machine .\n\nAccording to genesis, Leonardo was a fine proportional to complex , elegant , with showy take c ar . fashionably dressed , corroding a red cloak , which reached to the knees, although were in vogue long clothing . Until the affection of the chest flows raft his splendiferous beard, curly and well comb . He was told obvorozhitelen and attracted heaps police wagon .\n\nEven when he earned relatively little , ceaselessly kept horses, whom he loved more(prenominal) than any other animal .\n\nWe besides know that he constantly pull an d wrote .\n\nCome heap to us virtually seven metre pages, covered records or drawings of Leonardo.\n\nOne of the prototypical researchers of the manuscript treasures observe in grasp : It has everything: physics, mathematics , uranology , history, philosophy , dead stories , a mechanic. In short - its a miracle , but it is scripted the wrong mood round , so devilishly that more than once Ive spend the whole aurora to understand and repeat two or three pages . \n\nThe fact that Leonardo wrote from right to left , so read his literary productions you imply a mirror. According to some accounts , he was incompetent , on the other - equally owned by two hands. Be that as it may , it is save aggravated by the letter mystique , he surrounded himself and famed that all of his work .\n\nWas not compose in Latin, as a renowned homophileists of his contemporaries, who in their awe of classical antiquity, oftentimes losing touch with naturalism , but a living , prepa re , imaginative , sometimes colloquial Italian.\n\nYes, these manuscripts - a true miracle . superior figures to whom we , just as once his contemporaries , captures the spirit of admiration , Leonardo da Vinci illustrated the great thoughts , penetrating observation , deep, crushs us providence.\n\nLeonardo guessed some(prenominal) things that do not yet know the raft who are in the nineteen century . began to field of honor his record . He knew that man would fly , and he , on the face of it , expected to make a leak to Monte Checher ( purge Mountain ) .\n\n The model City - one of those many drawings and records Leonardo . In this urban center , he pointed out , the streets should be placed on divergent levels, with only the lower will go c graciousities and other onus wagons , and sewage from the urban center will be cleared through underground passages , laid from the arch to arch.\n\nHis queerness was boundless . He try to take chances out the causes of any phenomenon , even churl , and because this could open up new spaces of intimacy.\n\nWhat were the results of all these enquirys , observations dogged sideline of cause and nucleus , reasonable railway yard , that natural phenomenon ?\n\nLeonardo made ​​the freshman attempt to stop the light loudness depending on the outgo . His notes include eldest emerged in the human mind guesses just about the wave scheme of light.\n\nFound them , sometimes in the high mountains , the remains of marine animals appeared to him proof of blend land and sea, and he categorically jilted the runner biblical understanding of the life sentence of the beingness.\n\nLeonardo dissected corpses of people and animals, and many of his anatomical sketches amaze us with its the true , unparalleled knowledge in those geezerhood . He first determined the number of vertebrae in the sacrum in humans. He wanted to know how to resume and how life ends , and carried out experiments wi th frogs , which removed the head and the heart and pierce the spinal cord. And some of his sketches fix meter pig puncture long hairpin.\n\nHe was interested in the mobility of the human face that reflects the mobility of the human intellect, and he was eager to search all the enlarge of this mobility. He wrote: He who laughs , no polar from someone who is insistent , no eyes, no mouth , no cheeks , just eyebrows that get hitched with in the crying(a) and express emotion at the rise .\n\n that again, this observation should be verified experience. And that, gibe to extant examine, makes Leonardo .\n\nOnce having headstrong to portray laughing , he chose a few people and come unneurotic closely with them, invited them to a feast with my friends. When they met , he sat down next to him and began to tell them the most crocked and ridiculous things. All laughed , and the artist himself watched what was outlet on with these people under the allure of his stories , and sealed it all in my memory.\n\n afterwardswards the departure of the guests bypast Leonardo da Vinci in the work room and reproduced them with such(prenominal) perfection that his effigy made ​​people laugh as much as laughing extend models , listening to his stories .\n\nBut by studying how human anatomist , as a philosopher, as an artist, as Leonardo hard-boiled him ? flagitious form of darkness depicted in his drawings with such awing force that seems sometimes he rejoices evil , gladnessantly seeks it in person . Meanwhile, save becharm images created by his brush ! corresponding the first - this is just an exercise in the great science of cognition, and the stake - the fruits of this knowledge in all its beauty .\n\nIn his notes Leonardo gives an staring(a) dissolvent to the question how he treated people :\n\nAnd if on that point are among men those who have intimately qualities and virtues , not drive them away , give unto them honor that do not need them to flee into the depart from caves and other secluded places , fleeing from your wiles ! \n\nPainting - the faery of arts\n\nOf all the arts and, perchance , of all human affairs puts Leonardo painting in the first place . For , he says , the lynx is ruler of all sorts of people and all things. This - compelling evidence of deep creed of one of the great catamounts who ever lived on earth , in the majesty and power of his art vsepokoryayuschey .\n\n population is known through the mother wits , and the eye - master of the senses .\n\n The eye - he writes - is the eye of the human body , through which one looks at the way and enjoys the beauty of the humankind. Thanks to him, the soul rejoices in his human prison, without this human prison - torture . \n\nIn the male monarchs birthday came and gave him a poet poem evaluate his valor. Also came with a portrait painter and his beloved king. major power immediately off from book to assume . Poet offended , Oh Ki ng! Read, read ! You visualise something far more important than this poop give you a dumb run into! But the king replied: Shut up, a poet! You do not know what to say! Painting is a high sense than your art knowing for the blind. Give me the thing that I could see , not just hear . \n\nbetween the painter and poet, wrote another Leonardo , the same difference as between bodies scattered into split and bodies in one piece , for the poet shows you the body part by part at varied times , and painter - completely at one time.\n\nAnd the medical specialty ? Again Leonardo definitive answer :\n\nMusic bottom only be described as a sis painting, because it is the subject of the hear , after the second sense of ... But painting is superior to music and commands it, because they do not die immediately after its formation , as miserable music . \n\nBut all this is not teeming . Arts, the greatest of the arts , puts into the hands of the one who owns it genuine , violet power over nature .\n\nSo, for the Leonardo painting - high act of human genius , College of Arts. This act also requires higher cognition. And knowledge is presumptuousness and verified by experience.\n\nAnd experience opens new vistas Leonardo , addicted to him unexplored in painting. He believes that mathematics - the basis of knowledge. And each of its notionsque authorship fits seamlessly into a nonrepresentational shape. But the visual perception of the world is not moderate geometry , goes beyond it .\n\n face into the abyss of time , which is the fighter of things, he saw that everything changes, changing, that the eye perceives only what is born in take care of him at the bit , because the next time already make their inevitable and irreversible case.\n\nAnd he unresolved the instability , the liquidity of the visible world . This discovery was of Leonardo for all consequent painting of great importance. Until Leonardo outlines of objects acquired in a picture cruci al. Line reigned in it, and because even the greatest of his predecessors picture seems sometimes painted pattern. Leonardo first pull firmness , self-collected power lines . And called it a revolution in painting disappearing shape . spark and quarter, he writes, essential be sagaciously demarcated boundaries for them in most cases vague . Otherwise, the images are obtained awkward deprive charms wood .\n\n consume chiaroscuro by Leonardo , his famous sfumato - a gentle half-light with a soft pallet of tones milky eloquent , bluish , sometimes with greenish tints , in which the line itself becomes like air .\n\n vegetable oil paints were invented in the Netherlands , but lurking in them new opportunities in the transmittal of light and shadow , beautiful nuances , close imperceptible transitions from tone to tone were first study and studied until the end of Leonardo .\n\nDisappeared linearity , vivid stiffness characteristic of Florentine painting of the Quattroc ento . Chiaroscuro and disappearing outlines constitute, by Leonardo, the most excellent in the beautiful science. But the images did not fleeting. Their strong common sense , and they stand heavily on the ground. They are endlessly captivating , poetic, but not less than the full, specific.\n\nMadonna of the Rocks ( Louvre) - the first fully mature work of Leonardo - says the triumph of the new art .\n\nPerfect harmony of all the parts to build a strong welded integrally . This is an integer, ie a set of four figures , the outlines of which are wondrously relaxed chiaroscuro forms slender benefit , smoothly and quietly , in complete freedom grows in front of us .\n
