Leonardo Da Vinci!!! Italian character







Leonardo Da Vinci is an important character of Italy, he caused an impact on me because he was one of the greatest inventor-scientist of recorded history, also a painter, a sculptor, an architect and an engineer The numerous skills that he has, gave to him the title of renaissance master.
“Da Vinci was dedicated to discovery of truth and the mysteries of nature, and his insightful contributions to science and technology were legendary. As the archetypical Renaissance man, Leonardo helped set an ignorant and superstitous world on a course of reason, science, learning, and tolerance. He was an internationally renowned inventor, scientists, engineer, architect, painter, sculptor, musician, mathematician, anatomist, astronomer, geologists, biologist, and philosopher in his time.” Encarta.2007- Encyclopedia.
Da Vinci used the nature and the mystic things to show those in their pictures, ideas, and his life. Da Vinci was a strength man with his own opinions, and his own artistic style which was unique and contrary to tradition, he always tried to incorporate movement and expression into his own paintings. “All the personages in his works are painted with great accuracy and detail that it is sometimes said that Da Vinci painted from the bones outward.” We have to think that the works of Da Vinci were and still being very important to the people on the whole world, because these works have been preserved over the hundreds of years since Leonardo's time. Da Vinci has wonderful posters such as The Last Supper, The Mona Lisa, and others displayed in Milan and Paris respectively, are among the most influential works ever created.
