Leonardo (Basic Art)

Леонардо, один из самых совершенных людей, когда-либо живших на свете, остается типичным гением эпохи Возрождения. Создатель самой известной в мире картины, этот учёный, художник, философ, изобретатель, строитель и механик олицетворял великий расцвет человеческого сознания, знаменующий его эпоху.
In his thousands of notes and sketches, Leonardo would not only demonstrate his graphic genius but also anticipate some of the great discoveries and inventions that would follow him, from key points in anatomy — such as the principles behind blood circulation — through to plans for armoured military vehicles, planes, helicopters and submarines. Leonardo also advanced numerous artistic techniques, achieving a complex psychology in such paintings as The Last Supper and the enigmatic La Gioconda, or Mona Lisa, which continue to mesmerize visitors from around the world to this day.
