Leonardo da Vinci (1452- 15 19), whose full name is Leonardo Dissel Piero da Vinci, was an Italian painter and scientist in the Renaissance and a symbol of human wisdom. He was the most famous artist in the Italian Renaissance. He is not only a great painter, but also a futurist, architect, mathematician, musician, inventor, anatomist, sculptor, physicist and mechanical engineer. He is famous for his superb painting skills. He also designed many inventions that could not be realized at that time, but appeared in modern science and technology. Generally speaking, Leonardo da Vinci greatly surpassed the level of architecture, anatomy and astronomy at that time, but failed to promote its development. He was born in Florence on 1452. Although he is an illegitimate child, he is highly valued. According to historical records, Antonio Da Vinci (Da Vinci's grandfather) wrote on the back page of the translation notebook: On Saturday, April 1452, at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, I had a grandson, my son. When I was five years old, I could draw a portrait of my mother on the beach from memory, and at the same time, I could improvise and sing with myself, which attracted the admiration of the people present. The Last Supper is the most famous religious painting in the world, while Mona Lisa is the most famous and greatest portrait painting in the world. These two world-renowned works make Leonardo da Vinci's name immortal. Leonardo da vinci's unique artistic language is to create a plane by light and shade.
(* Leonardo da Vinci is the earliest translated name of Wen Yiduo, translated in Italian. There are mistakes in the English translation of the old translation of Da Wen Xi; Italian ci is pronounced "odd" instead of "west")
"God sometimes endows a person with beauty, elegance and talent, which makes his behavior superior, indicating that his genius comes from God rather than human power. This is the case with Leonardo. His elegance and grace are unparalleled, and his wisdom can solve all problems. " This is vasari's praise of Leonardo da Vinci.
Da Vinci1April, 452 15 was born in Finch, not far from Florence in central Italy, and spent his childhood there. 1469, he came to Florence and worked as an apprentice in verrocchio's studio. 1472 entered the artists association of that year.
In art, he is an expert in sculpture, but he pays special attention to painting. He said, "Painting is the daughter of nature."
Legend has it that when he was young, he helped his teacher draw a little angel in a painting called John the Baptist Christ. As a result, his level surpassed all the other characters drawn by the teacher. The famous teacher was ashamed, so he stopped dabbling in painting and only engaged in sculpture.
Leonardo da vinci is best known for his superb painting skills. His most famous works include Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Our Lady in the Rock, Santa Anna and The Virgin.
The Mona Lisa was painted for four years. It is said that the model is a Florentine who just lost her child. In order to relieve her pain and show her natural smile, Leonardo asked someone to play music for her. Her smile is a topic that people talk about, sometimes it looks serious and sometimes it looks gentle; Sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's ironic. Mona Lisa's right hand is called "the most beautiful hand in art history".
The Last Supper was painted on the wall of the sacred dining room of Gracy Church. Leonardo da Vinci changed the layout of the Last Supper painted by his predecessors, so that all the characters sat in a row facing outward, with Jesus Christ in the middle.
In Science, he observed celestial bodies and wrote, "The sun is motionless." Almost at the same time, Copernicus discovered the "sun-centered theory"; He studied the scientific principle of flight and designed and built the first airplane. He dissected more than 30 corpses, explored the human body structure, and was the first to discover the growth process of the baby in the mother. He once said, "you may be avoided by this natural stench ... or you may be impatient and not diligent enough." In these respects, I am not hindered by greed or laziness, but by lack of time. "
When he was young, Da Vinci studied painting in the studio of Florence painter verrocchio, and left Florence for Milan in 148 1. Later, he was invited to France by King Francis I of France. Leonardo da vinci was a genius in the world at that time. His main talents are scientific discovery and imagination. He has designed helicopters, airplanes, hot air balloons, siege machines, urban defense systems and drainage systems, and studied human anatomy, proportion and perspective. He is the first painter in Europe to paint landscapes, and is famous for his scientific and clear mind. Of course, some people think that he seldom realizes his ideas and makes real achievements, because he is only a hollow reputation in science. Among the "Three Masters" of the Renaissance (the other two are Michelangelo and Raphael), the characters in his paintings are realistic and the composition is rigorous and steady. His most famous paintings are the mural The Last Supper and the portrait of the Monastery of Santa Maria in Milan, Mona Lisa and the Virgin in the Rock. His works include On Painting.
In his later years, Leonardo da Vinci settled in the Castle of Clos in the Loire Valley of France, where he completed his self-portrait. In his later years, Leonardo became calm and quiet, and devoted himself to studying the relationship between faith and nature. He died in Crowe Castle in 15 19.
"For a whole day, you can sleep peacefully; A full life, you can have no regrets "is a famous sentence in his will." "
1452 On April 5th, Da Vinci was born in Da Vinci Town near Florence, Italy. My father is a well-known local notary with a well-off family. Leonardo da Vinci showed his talent for painting from an early age. His little animals are lifelike, so his father sent him to his friend, the famous painter and sculptor Frogia's painting studio as an apprentice.
When Leonardo da Vinci came to the painting workshop, his teacher, Frogia, brought him an egg to paint. Leonardo da Vinci painted several pictures soon, but the teacher asked him to continue painting for a few days. Da Vinci finally got impatient and thought that the teacher had underestimated him and asked him to draw such a simple egg. The teacher read his mind and said meaningfully, "This egg is not simple. There are no two identical eggs in the world. Even the same egg has different shapes because of different viewing angles and different light. "
Da Vinci suddenly realized that the original teacher was to cultivate his ability to observe things and grasp images. Since then, he has been training the basic skills of painting and learning all kinds of artistic and scientific knowledge, laying a solid foundation for achieving excellent results in painting and other aspects in the future.
Leonardo da Vinci pursued painting tirelessly all his life, leaving us with many masterpieces that will last forever. One of the most famous is
The Last Supper and Mona Lisa.

The earth is dirty and ugly, in sharp contrast to Jesus.

His satisfied image. The great success of this painting made no one dare to set foot on this subject again.
The portrait of Mona Lisa is based on the wife of a friend of Leonardo da Vinci. For this painting, Leonardo da Vinci first studied it.
In order to keep her happy mood, harpists and singers were specially invited to perform for her. Leonardo da Vinci accurately said
Captured Mona Lisa's charming smile in an instant, and described her subtle psychological activities in detail with delicate brushstrokes.
Now when you look at this painting, you will still feel the suffocating power contained in her smile.
