- Leonardo da Vinci of a young child had this gift that he could learn alone. He watched the world around him and how he could not even write, it’s just drew, and when I learned to write, then drew and noted – said art historian Dr. Bozena Fabiani.
May 2, 1519, died of Leonardo da Vinci – a Renaissance man: painter, architect, philosopher, musician, writer, explorer, mathematician, engineer, anatomist inventor and geologist .
illegitimate child
was born in 1452. in a small village near the town of Vinci, located in what is today Tuscany. His father was a notary, Piero. He had a brief affair with a peasant girl named Caterina and for that relationship came into the world later genius of the Renaissance. The boy grew up in his father’s house. Unfortunately, in those days the children of unmarried relationships faced by a variety of barriers, one of which was banned at universities. Characters Leonardo da Vinci spent his broadcasts from the series “Towards art” , granted in 2001. Ewa Spinner.
Apparently, when he was an infant over his cradle flew a hawk. Later, when he heard this story, he found this incident to be prophetic. His writings, which so far found approx. 7000 contain detailed descriptions of research on the flight of birds and several different projects based on the structure of the wings of bats. To check the effectiveness of their ideas performing models from paper, wax, wood. 3 January 1496 Leonardo da Vinci moved, unfortunately unsuccessful, attempt a flying machine.
gifted self-taught
From an early age he was a boy, not his own father, and his brother . – Uncle Francesco spent a lot of time with the boy – said in the Dr. Bozena Fabiani , an art historian. – He gave his love for wildlife and nature. He also wrote the entire property. Father did not leave him anything.
It is interesting that Leonardo Da Vinci used the letter mirror – to read his writings must be entered by the mirror. It is estimated that approx. 14 thousand. cards that made, survived about half. His notes have in their collections archives and libraries around the world.

The practice of Veroccia
– We do know that as a teenager, went to the workshop of the great Florentine painter and sculptor, Veroccia – said Dr. Fabiani. – And there he spent several years. When he was 20 years and was put into the books of the guild and he had the right to independently accept orders. He remained at the master was his deputy, had his students, which supposedly put extremely high demands. He left after a few years. Luck was looking for in Florence.
However, little is known about what he did then. It is certain that alienated many customers. – He accepted the order, but have not finished – we hear in the commentary. – He prepared himself for so long that everyone gave up. Alienated in this way to each other a lot of people. Perhaps it is meant that the 30-year-old left Florence and at 18 he settled in Milan.
At the court of Louis Sforza
he introduced himself as a perfect war machine inventor, builder of bridges and devices fortification. The memorial, where the prince presented his skills, he wrote that he could construct the most terrible destructive machine, and demolition and added: “I know a way of building bridges very light and strong, easily portable and other stronger that rely fire and attack. I can also build a covered cars safe and impregnable. Under their cover may move infantry, not hampered by any resistance “.
Only at the end he said only one sentence about art: “I could carry out in bronze equestrian statue and paint pictures of all kinds”.
was accepted, however, by good manners, musical talent and skills receptions. Initially he lived in Milan, later moved to the princely court to give the title of court painter and engineer.

A passion for engineering
Leonardo designed armored vehicles, so that moved by Muscle eight hidden inside people came up with a poisonous powder and masks for soldiers. – No wonder he did not have when the end of his paintings – art historian commented. – Because when painted eye, is carried out for many weeks over the organ of sight numerous experiments, when he painted the light, he studied its structure. He worked in mathematics, physics, mechanics, anatomy. He moved approx. 30 autopsies of people, few autopsies horse, a bear, and even monkeys. He was involved in architecture, urban planning, literature.
still find themselves even his drawings and writings. The spectacular was the discovery in England in 1976. More than 900 drawings by the great master.

Leonardo and his inventions
– When you read his notes, it turned out that invented an incredible number of devices – said Dr. Fabiani. – He did them drawings. The prototype cameras, ball bearing spinning machine, mechanical digger. He was the forerunner of these devices. – When Venice was threatened Turkish fleet, Leonardo undertook to destroy it through the use of a submarine – we hear in the broadcast. – When working on the plane invented the parachute.
Apparently he slept only 15 minutes every 4 hours. He was extremely busy. He loved nature. Artist and art historian, Giorgio Vasari , which described the life of the great masters of the Renaissance wrote:
“Crossing the square, where they sold the birds can escape them from cages, and paying the required price, let go of it in the air and so they restored their lost freedom, therefore, nature was kind to him. Wherever turned his mind, he showed excellence. No one has ever equaled his abilities, the vitality, the goodness, the ease, the grace of life “. And he added:
– each performing models and drawings showing how effortlessly pick up rocks and raise up how to build cranes, cranes, screws for pulling loads and how to use the pumps draw from the depths of the earth water – wrote about It Giorgio Vasari. Also dreamed of flying.
Leonardo da Vinci died on May 2, 1519 .
