One of the guardians of the Demon Warrior - Da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), also known as Leonardo da Vinci, was a polymath of the Italian Renaissance: in addition to being a painter, he was also a sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer.

His talent may be higher than that of other figures of his time, which makes him a representative of humanism in the Renaissance, and also makes him a typical artist of the Renaissance period, and one of the most famous painters in history, along with Michelangelo and Raphael, known as the three masters of the Renaissance. Asteroid 3000 was named Leonardo.

Leonardo da Vinci is often described as the archetype of a polymath, a man with "unquenchable curiosity" and an "extremely active creative imagination."

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time, and perhaps the one with the greatest variety of different types of talent of all kinds.

According to art historians Helen Gardner, his interests reached an unprecedented scope and depth, and "his mind and personality seemed to be beyond the ordinary, while he himself was mysterious and distant".

Marco Rosci argues that although there have been many speculations about Leonardo da Vinci, his view of the world was inherently logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical approach he used was unusual for that period.

Leonardo da Vinci was, and still is, primarily known as a painter, and is known for the realism and influence of his paintings.

In his works. The Mona Lisa is the most famous and most imitated portrait.

The Last Supper is considered to be the most reproduced religious painting of all periods, rivaled only by Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.

The painting Vitruvian Man is also considered a cultural symbol, and he is reproduced on a variety of objects such as euros, textbooks, and T-shirts.

Fifteen of his paintings remain, and the reason for this small number is due to his continuous, frequent and disastrous experimentation with new techniques and his constant procrastination in painting.

In any case, his work, together with his notebooks containing drawings, scientific illustrations, and his thoughts on the nature of drawing, made him one of the most influential artists of his time, on a par with Michelangelo, and one of the artists who came after him.

Da Vinci was revered for his technical ingenuity. He had a wide range of ideas that were beyond his time. Some of the most notable conceptual inventions are: helicopters, machine guns, robots, tanks, solar focusing use, calculators, and double shells. He also outlined the basic theoretical framework of plate tectonics.

However, very few of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings have survived, and the various collections are scattered among the manuscripts of paintings, scientific diagrams, and notes.

Da Vinci's inventions were mostly ahead of their time, and at the time, only a few designs were built at the time. Most of the designs were not possible at the time.

But some of Da Vinci's gadgets. For example, an automatic shaft winding machine. A machine used to test the tension of metal wires, these inventions foreshadowed a world of manufacturing for the first time.

He made important discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and fluid mechanics, but his findings were not made public. Therefore, none of these discoveries had a direct impact on later scientific progress.

Da Vinci was born in Vincy's small Tuscan hill town, near the valley where the Arno River flows, a place that at that time was the territory of the Florentine Republic under the Medici family.

Da Vinci's father's name was Serpiero Da Vinci, who was a legal notary in Florence and was therefore very wealthy. His mother, Catalina, was a peasant woman. Da Vinci was their illegitimate son.

Da Vinci didn't have a real surname, his full name meant "Leonardo, son of Mercer Piero in Vinci". The "ser" in his name only indicates that his father was a gentleman.

Da Vinci did not formally study Latin, geometry, or mathematics. Later, da Vinci recorded two minor accidents when he was a child.

Once, a bird kite hovered over his cradle, and the feathers on its tail swept into his face.

Another time, while exploring the mountains, he discovered a cave, and although he was afraid that there would be monsters hiding in it, he was driven by curiosity to go in and find out.

Da Vinci's childhood has become a historical mystery. Vasari, a biographer of the 16th-century Renaissance, wrote of a local peasant who made a shield and asked Leonardo da Vinci's father, Piero, to paint on it.

Son Leonardo da Vinci drew a monster with a tongue of fire on it. The painting was so lifelike and horrible that Piero sold it to a Florentine art agent, who in turn sold it to the Duke of Milan.

Piero then used the money from the transfer of the painting to buy the farmer a new shield with a red heart pierced by an arrow.

The earliest known date of da Vinci's work is a painting painted in 1473 with the pen and ink of Arnovalley.

Between 1476 and 1478 Leonardo da Vinci accepted two offers, which led to the assumption that he had a studio of his own.

Between 1482 and 1498, Duke of Milan Ludovicos Forza hired da Vinci and allowed him and his apprentices to open a workshop.

In 1495, the Duke of Milan attempted to save Milan from the rule of Charles VIII of France, casting 70 tons of bronze into weapons, which Da Vinci intended to use to make the horse sculpture Gram Camelo.

In 1498, when France returned to the rule of Louis XII, Milan surrendered without a fight, and the Sforza family was overthrown. Leonardo da Vinci remained in Milan for some time, until early one morning he discovered that a life-size clay model of Gram Camelo had been used by French archers as a target exercise.

Da Vinci left Milan for Mantua with his close friend and assistant Charle, and Luca Pacioli, the first friend to describe double-entry bookkeeping, arriving in Venice two months later.

In Venice, Leonardo da Vinci was hired as a military engineer. He then returned to Florence in 1500.

In Florence, Leonardo da Vinci entered the ministry of Caesar Pogil, the son of Pope Alexandre VI, as a military architect and engineer, and traveled with Caesar Poggier throughout Italy.

In 1506, Leonardo da Vinci returned to Milan, where Maximiliensfort was reinstated, following the expulsion of Swiss mercenaries from France.

Between 1513 and 1516, Leonardo da Vinci lived in Rome, where famous painters such as Raphael and Michelangelo were active, although he did not come into regular contact with these artists.

Contrary to the artist's wishes, however, he was a key figure in the relocation of Michelangelo's masterpiece "Statue of David" in Florence.

Three years after his death, Da Vinci was invited by François I to move to Amboise, France. François I gave Da Vinci Claus Luce as his residence, and Da Vinci designed the spiral double staircase for Château de Chambord.

In 1519 Leonardo da Vinci died of illness and was buried in the chapel of Saint-Hubert in the Château d'Amboise.

Revival of Humanism – There is no extreme phenomenon of mutual exclusion between science and art.

Leonardo da Vinci's study of science and engineering is as memorable and prominent as his artwork.

The approximately 13,000 pages of notes and drawings in the manuscript are all records of a mixture of art and science. These records were created by Leonardo da Vinci through observation of the weeks during his travels across the continent.

A left-hander, he wrote in mirror images throughout his life. For left-handed authors, it is easier to pull the quill pen from right to left than to push it from left to right, and it will not confuse the words that have just been written. Therefore, his diary is all mirror words. (To be continued......)
