Leonardo Da Vinci Biography
Leonardo
Da Vinci - (1452 - 1519). Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest
inventor-scientist of recorded history. His genius was unbounded by
time and technology, and was driven by his insatiable curiosity, and
his intuitive sense of the laws of nature.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. Born in 1452 as
an illegitimate son of Ser piero da Vinci, da Vinci was sent to Florence
in his teens to apprentice as a painter under Andrea del Verrocchio.
He quickly developed his own artistic style which was unique and contrary
to tradition, even going so far as to devised his own special formula
of paint. His style was characterized by diffuse shadows and subtle
hues and marked the beginning of the High Renaissance period. Like
many great original efforts, da Vinci's artistic style was largely
unpopular for the next quarter century. Later Da Vinci became the
court artist for the duke of Milan. Throughout his life he also served
various other roles, including civil engineer and architect (designing
mechanical structures such as bridges and aqueducts), and military
planner and weapons designer (designing rudimentary tanks, catapults,
machine guns, and even navel weapons). Da Vinci's creative, analytic,
and visionary inventiveness has yet to be matched.
