This video beautifully illustrates Leonardo da Vinci's intellect and role in bringing Europe out of the Dark Ages. Art, science, and invention were forever changed by his work. Explore a complex visionary's life and work is inspiring. I appreciate your illumination of da Vinci's genius.🎨🔬✨📜

I love Leonardo and his works, I love his mysteries - an exceptional Renaissance master who will serve as inspiration for my video

Great video

Great documentary about a remarkable man! Just a small detail re the music: Vivaldi lived 2 centuries later, not really the most appropriate soundtrack to finish the programme ;)
-
Wow. Think about how long ago this was discovered. This blew my mind. I mean I didnt get taught this in school

A little old fashioned, but Interesting. This documentary focuses on Leonardo’s drawings and inventions.

He draws two subjects, the first is declared, the second is hidden, and sometimes, and of the utmost importance, he draws half-figures. What is strange about the matter is his drawing of the figures of the Pharaohs and figures related to the stories of the prophets, especially Moses, peace be upon him, and his story with the snakes that prostrated to the snake that he threw. I talk about my observations and what my hands touched and the results of years of analysis, surveying, and linking things, and I can say He was receiving information, but as for the possibility of smooth writing, it was impossible in itself due to the extreme precision and smoothness of the letters

So much crazier knowing he was a turtle!

Nice

When the right culture (renaissance innovation), natural talents (genetic imbalances), appropriate environment (Medici's funding) and work ethic (development of one's gifts) combine - a string of great successes happens, not only with Leonardo but with the likes of Brunelleschi, Machiavelli, Michaelangelo, Vespuci, Galileo, Raphael, Botticelli... all of that from Florence alone. And of course, not without Dante who helped kick-start it all.
