What are some works of Leonardo Da Vinci that show him as a HUMANIST?

Question

And what about these works is HUMANISTIC? e.g. I was studying "The Virgin of the Rocks" - is that humanistic or not?

What works of his are?

Answer 1

The humanist contribution to the emergence of new scientific thinking may be summarized under two heads. It was in part a contribution to methods and in part an addition to a specific body of knowledge, chiefly about ancient science. The critical scholarship of the humanists, although. devoted almost exclusively to the explanation of classical texts, must clearly have had an effect on other areas of thought. The painstaking research into the history of a text, the insistence on accuracy, the ideals of critical scholarship, connected as they were with a growing sense of history, could not but produce an alteration in the general intellectual climate.

Perhaps the one thing that strikes the most when analyzing Leonardo’s anatomical drawings is the harmony existing between artistic talent and technical precision.

I would say that humanistic means anatomical correctness and making the picture come to life.
