If you know alot about Leonardo Da vince, please answer!!!!!?

Question

what do you think is the Leonardo da Vinci's best work of art ( waht gave the most impact) and explain why this person has made the greatest contribution to shaping the worldview of the western world?

Answer 1

So many of Leonardo's works are well known--Leonardo
was the first to put a name on the phenomenon where objects in a painting that are very far away have a bluish tint-
he called this "atmospheric perspective." In many of his paintings--The Virgin of the Rocks, Mona Lisa (La Jaconde),
and etc... have rocky, mountainous backgrounds that gave Leonardo the opportunity to depict his hazy, bluish backgrounds.

How did he contribute to shaping the worldview of the Western world? Well, he was a rational observer--not superstitious--and he kept journals of his observations of plants, animals, human anatomy etc... these were steps away from the superstitious thinking of the dark ages and the precursor to the the Enlightment--the Age of Reason.

Answer 2

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was a Tuscan (Italian) polymath: scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician, poet and writer. Born at Vinci in the region of Florence, the illegitimate son of a notary, Piero da Vinci, and a peasant girl, Caterina, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio. Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan where several of his major works were created. He also worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, spending his final years in France at the home given him by King François I.

Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man" or universal genius, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention.He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived

It is primarily as a painter that Leonardo was and is renowned. Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper occupy unique positions as the most famous, most reproduced and most parodied portrait and religious painting of all time, their fame approached only by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also iconic. Perhaps fifteen paintings survive, the small number due to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise a contribution to later generations of artists only rivalled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.

As an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptualising a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and the double hull, and outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire entered the world of manufacturing unheralded.[d] As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

Answer 3

He substitute into an rather in demand and nicely respected painter and inventor. He made 1000's, even consistent with threat 1000's, of innovations. a number of those we even use in the present day. He additionally painted the Mona Lisa, The final Supper, and (i think of yet im not completely confident) the super Aposcale.

Answer 4

His mind.

The way he thought and developed new ways of thinking was his greatest achievement. Just take a look at his 'war machines' and see how he came up with concepts that still apply today.

Answer 5

the man was a genius...so far ahead of his time and everyone in it that he frightened them....
not just his art, but his ideas about the cosmos and science and life in general...his i.q. was probably off the charts.
