How many T’s and F’s did you circle? 

 

In fact, every single statement about the great man is true. 

 

Where do you think da Vinci’s greatness came from?

 

Leonardo da Vinci was born in Vinci, Italy, on April 15, 1452. 

 

He did not receive any formal education, but his father realized da Vinci’s talent in painting. 

 

So, da Vinci was apprenticed to Andrea del Verrocchio, a famous sculptor and painter in Florence, at the age of 15. 

 

He became a professional painter himself about five years later.

 

Da Vinci was different from artists before him. 

 

He wanted to create paintings that were as realistic as possible. 

 

In the Mona Lisa, his only surviving portrait, you can see the lips that smile and the eyes that shine. 

 

 

The striking realism is a result of his scientific knowledge of the human anatomy, *perspective, and optics. 

 

Based on the human anatomy, he could produce a portrait that accurately reflects the proportions of different parts of the body. 

 

Thanks to his knowledge of perspective, the woman’s head and eyes are turned a little more toward the viewer. 

 

He was also aware of the way light falls on curved surfaces, so the woman does not appear to be painted at all. 

 

As a result of this convergence of art and science, he was able to create some of the most powerful and enduring works of art in history.

 

How could da Vinci be so creative and ingenious? One of his sources was his great ability to observe. 

 

Da Vinci stressed the importance of observation. He always carried a pen and a notebook with him to write down what he saw. 

 

Thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks reveal how he worked. 

 

 

He wrote and drew on many subjects including anatomy, flight, gravity, and optics, sometimes writing in left-handed mirror script. 

 

This way, he was able to come up with brilliant ideas that ultimately led to the inventions of the bicycle, airplane, submarine, and parachute centuries later.

 

When da Vinci observed something which intrigued him, he asked one question after another. 

 

After observing birds and bats, for instance, he asked himself, “How do birds and bats fly?” 

 

By answering this question, he hoped to find the secret to how people, too, could fly. 

 

He was very curious about the mechanics of flight and designed several flying machines. 

 

He sketched machines where the pilot would lie down or stand and then use his or her legs or arms to make the machines go. 

 

These machines were very imaginative. 

 

However, da Vinci got stuck on one point: humans have limited muscle power and endurance compared to birds and bats. 

 

Still, he did not give up but kept experimenting endlessly with new ideas. 

 

 

Though the flying machines were not successful, his efforts provided much useful information for the future inventors of airplanes.

 

Out of curiosity, da Vinci explored different fields throughout his lifetime. 

 

Thanks to his extensive knowledge, he was able to take a single idea and make it branch out and flourish in different directions. 

 

Additionally, he was in a position to make connections between disparate things. 

 

He eagerly pursued the possibility that seemingly unrelated things could be combined to make something completely new. 

 

For most people, emotional and subjective art does not mix well with science, which stresses logic and reason. 

 

However, da Vinci combined the two with grace and beauty.

 

Da Vinci showed us what a truly creative mind, combined with dedicated and persistent effort, can really do. 

 

As a forward-thinking pioneer, he is a good example of the creativity and innovation that has great importance in today’s world. 

 

No wonder people call Leonardo da Vinci “a man of creative mind.”
