Personal life

[Edit this paragraph]

Genius Junior

Leonardo da vinci was born in the village of Ann Kiano near the Italian town of Finch, which is close to Florence. My father is a well-known local notary with a well-off family. Leonardo da vinci is an illegitimate child and spent his childhood in his grandfather's grange. Da Vinci was smart, diligent and had a wide range of interests when he was a child. He sings very well and learned to play the pipa very early. His impromptu singing, whether it is lyrics or tunes, is amazing. He loves painting very much and often paints for his neighbors. He has the reputation of "painting prodigy".

At that time, pierrot was entrusted by a farmer to draw a shield painting. He heard that his son could paint and wanted to try his son's painting skills, so he gave the task to Little Finch. With rich imagination, Little Finch spent a month drawing a terrible monster. This monster has fireball-like eyes, an open maw, and flames and poison gas spew out of his nostrils. It looks terrible. After the work was finished, Little Finch invited his father to his room. He covered half the window and erected an easel where the light just fell on the monster. When pierrot walked into the room for the first time, he saw this hideous monster at a glance and cried with fear. The sparrow smiled and said to her father, "Please accept it, it is the effect it should have." Convinced that his son had a talent for painting, pierrot sent Little Vinci to Florence to study plastic arts systematically under the guidance of the famous artist Rocchio. At this time, Da Vinci was only 14 years old.

Rocchio's original boat was a famous art center in Florence at that time, where Italian humanists often gathered to discuss academic issues. Da Vinci established a large number of well-known humanists, artists and scientists here, and began to accept the influence of humanism. By the age of 20, Leonardo da Vinci had reached a high artistic attainments. He used brushes and carving knives to express the truth, goodness and beauty of nature and real life, and enthusiastically praised the happiness of life and the beauty of nature.

Leonardo da vinci is not satisfied with his talent. He wants to master all fields of human thought. He has a unique vision, capable work and artistic soul. Once, he got lost in the mountains and came to a dark cave. When he later recalled this experience, he said, "I suddenly had two emotions-fear and longing: I was afraid of the dark cave and wanted to see if there would be anything strange in it." His life has been bound by these two emotions-he is afraid of the unknowable mystery of life, but he wants to expose, study, explain its meaning and describe its grandeur. He made up his mind to be a researcher, a teacher, and especially an artist.

Master of Science

In the early Renaissance, people blindly accepted traditional ideas and worshipped ancient authorities and classical works. People learn scientific knowledge only by studying Aristotle's theory like the Bible, and only believe in written records. Leonardo da vinci objected to scholasticism taking past teaching and speeches as the knowledge base. He encouraged people to learn from nature and seek knowledge and truth from nature. He believes that knowledge comes from practice, and only by starting from practice can we explore the mysteries of science through practice. He said that "it is the greatest misfortune that theory is divorced from practice" and "practice should be based on good theory". Leonardo da Vinci put forward and mastered this advanced scientific method, and applied it to scientific research, making great contributions to natural science. This method, which he proposed, was later developed by Galileo and theoretically summarized by British philosopher Francis Bacon, and became the most basic method of modern natural science. Leonardo da Vinci believed in science. He hates religion and attacks Catholicism as a "shop selling deception". He said, "There is only one truth. He is not in religion, but in science. " Leonardo da Vinci's experimental working method paved the way for the later inventions of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton.

1, astronomy Leonardo da Vinci held a negative attitude towards the traditional "geocentric theory". He believes that the earth is not the center of the solar system, let alone the center of the universe, but just a planet orbiting the sun, and the sun itself does not move. Leonardo also believed that the moon itself did not shine, but only reflected the brilliance of the sun. His view was put forward earlier than Copernicus's "Sun-centered Theory". Even then, Leonardo da Vinci fantasized about using solar energy.

2. physics. Leonardo da Vinci rediscovered the concept of liquid pressure and put forward the principle of communication device. He pointed out: in communication devices, the liquid level of the same liquid is the same, the liquid level of different liquids is different, and the height of liquid is inversely proportional to density. He discovered the principle of inertia, which was later proved by Galileo's experiment. He believes that a projectile initially rises along an inclined straight line, makes a curve displacement under the mixed action of gravity and impulse, and finally runs out of impulse under the action of gravity and makes a vertical falling motion. His discovery shook Aristotle's theory of falling objects. He developed the lever principle, which not only deduced the relationship between acting force and arm length, but also calculated the relationship between speed and arm length. He pointed out that perpetual motion machine is impossible as an energy source. Leonardo also predicted the atomic principle of matter and vividly described the power of atomic energy: "that thing will explode from the ground, ... causing people to die suddenly in silent breathing, and the castle will be completely destroyed." It seems destructive in the air. "

3. medicine Leonardo da vinci has also made great achievements in anatomy and physiology, and is known as the originator of modern physiological anatomy. He mastered the knowledge of human anatomy and studied physiology and medicine from anatomy. He first used wax to express the internal structure of human brain, and he was also the first person to imagine making hearts and eyes out of glass and ceramics. He discovered the function of blood and thought that blood played a metabolic role in human body. He said that blood constantly transforms the whole body, bringing nutrition to all parts of the body, and then taking away the waste in the body. Leonardo da Vinci studied the heart. He found that the heart has four chambers and drew the heart valve. He believes that one of the causes of death in the elderly is arteriosclerosis, which is caused by lack of exercise. Later, William Harvey in England confirmed and developed these physiological achievements of Leonardo da Vinci.

4. architecture. In architecture, Leonardo da Vinci showed outstanding talent. He designed bridges, churches, domes and urban sewers. In the design of urban streets, he separated the driveway from the sidewalk; When designing urban buildings, the height of houses and the width of streets are specified in detail. He designed and built the moat in Milan.

5. Water conservancy project. Leonardo da Vinci's research on water conservancy was a century earlier than that of Italian scholar Costelli. In order to remove the sediment, he made a construction plan for dredging the Yano River. He designed and personally presided over the canal irrigation project from Milan to pavia. Some reservoirs, sluices and dams he built facilitated farmland irrigation and promoted the development of agricultural production. Some water conservancy facilities are still in operation today.

6, military and mechanical. Leonardo da Vinci's research and inventions also involved military and mechanical aspects. He invented aircraft, helicopters, parachutes, machine guns, grenades, tanks, submarines, double-hull warships, cranes and so on.

7. Geology. Leonardo da Vinci inferred that the earth's crust had changed according to the fact that there were fossils of animals in the sea on the mountain, and pointed out that the traces of floods on the earth were proof of the changes of land and sea, which was quite similar to Hutton's discovery in geology 300 years later. Before Magellan sailed around the world, he calculated that the diameter of the earth was over 7000 miles.

He also made great contributions in the fields of mathematics and hydraulic engineering. It can be said that Leonardo da Vinci's research involves all departments of natural science, and his thoughts and talents go deep into all fields of human knowledge. He is a rare scholar with all-round development in the world. However, most of Da Vinci's works and manuscripts were published many years after his death. Dampier, a historian of science, said of Leonardo da Vinci, "If he publishes his works, science will jump to the situation a hundred years later."

He is the father of helicopters.

This renaissance genius may have created the history of human flight long before the Wright brothers.

"If he publishes his book, science will jump to the situation in one hundred years. For human academic and social progress, it is of course useless to speculate on this situation, but we can safely say that if this happens, human academic and social evolution will be very different. " Dampier, a historian of science, relished that the giant of science was Leonardo da Vinci.

In fact, people in the Da Vinci era had the same dream of flying as their predecessors. After staying in Florence for a while, Leonardo da Vinci came to Milan again. From 1483 to 1486, Leonardo da Vinci drew a sketch of an aircraft.

In Leonardo da Vinci's vision, this is an airplane driven by the pilot's own power. The genius called his design a "flapping-wing plane", and leonardo da vinci gave his plane propulsion and lift.

Let's reconstruct this plane according to Leonardo da Vinci's sketch. The shape of the plane was made of wood, canvas and other materials at that time. On both sides of the plane, there are a pair of membranous wings, which are similar to bats or pterosaurs in structure and shape. Wings can reach 1 1 meter. The pilot carries this huge airplane and drives it by constantly stepping on the power pulley, and this driving force is amplified by hand cranking the crankshaft and provides power for the lifting device.

When designing this plane, Leonardo da Vinci always had an idea in his heart: as long as he had enough power, he could fly. It seems that this Renaissance genius may have created the history of human flight before the Wright brothers. In fact, the mechanical design of this earliest aircraft is perfect, but because the power provided by human beings is not proportional to the weight of the aircraft itself, it cannot be applied in practice. In fact, Leonardo da Vinci said that his invention also provided a helicopter power, not a real working plane. To this day, people still regard Leonardo da Vinci's design as the ancestor of helicopters.

9. He designed a junior robot.

Even more amazing, Leonardo da Vinci also designed a set of methods for heart repair surgery.

Leonardo once claimed that he had no book education and was naturally his real teacher. Know nature and yourself. Renaissance geniuses spared no effort to realize it. In order to understand human beings, Leonardo personally dissected dozens of corpses and accurately understood and drew human bones, muscles, joints and internal organs.

After many autopsies, Leonardo da Vinci discovered the metabolic effect of blood on human body. Blood brings nutrition to all parts of the body and takes away waste from all parts. In the specific anatomical observation, Leonardo da Vinci found that the heart consists of four ventricles, and drew the heart valve diagram.

In fact, Leonardo da Vinci even knew nothing about the working mechanism of the human circulatory system. Even more amazing, in 2005, a British surgeon used the method designed by Leonardo da Vinci to perform heart repair surgery. However, the study of anatomy did not bring Leonardo fame at that time, but was slandered countless times.

However, it is this in-depth understanding of the human body that Leonardo even drew the first humanoid robot in the western civilized world in the manuscript.

Leonardo da Vinci gave the robot a shell of wood, leather and metal. How to make the robot move is a problem that puzzles Leonardo da Vinci. In Leonardo da Vinci's mind, he thought of using a lower gear as the driving device. Therefore, the robot's arm can swing, sit or stand through the meshing of the gears of two mechanical rods with the disk gears of the chest. More importantly, it is connected with the head through a transmission rod, so that the head can rotate and even open and close the jaw. Once equipped with an automatic drum device, the robot can even make a sound.

It turns out that more than 500 years ago, there was a prototype of the robot.

10, it is this "da Vinci car" that ignited the inspiration for the invention of modern cars.

Leonardo da Vinci's 7000-page manuscript (now about 5000 pages) is still affecting scientific research. He is a prophet of the modern world, and his manuscript page is called/kloc-the real encyclopedia of science and technology in the 5th century.

In the early days, Leonardo was dissatisfied with the carriage at that time. In his scientific world, there has long been a shadow of the car. In fact, it was this "Da Vinci Car" that inspired the invention of modern cars.

Since it is a car, we have to consider the power problem. Leonardo da Vinci installed two springs in the middle of the car to solve this problem. When the rear wheel of an automobile is rotated by manpower, the gears mesh with each other, and the tension of the spring generates a force, which is then transmitted to the wheel through leverage.

So how to control the speed? Da Vinci also thought of it. He installed a disc device on the car body. There are many square blocks on the surface of the disc, and the other end of the iron bar connected to each wheel is connected to the disc. This is the device used to control the speed. The more wooden blocks placed by the disc fan, the greater the friction between the disc fan and the iron bar, the greater the resistance, the slower the wheel running speed and the longer the driving distance.

Of course, Leonardo also thought of the braking device. There is a block of wood between the gears. Pull the rope to clamp the block between the gears, and the car can stop. However, this kind of car can't carry people, because it can't travel a long distance by spring power alone.

At the same time, Leonardo da Vinci skillfully applied the spring to the design of clocks and watches. Later, the principle adopted by large clocks was conceived by Leonardo da Vinci. Only in this way of thinking, the elastic force of the spring is replaced by the gravity of the object, and the downward gravity of the object is evenly transmitted through the meshing action of many gears, thus keeping the clock moving at a constant speed.

In addition, river diggers, submersibles, cranes, cameras, heaters, thermometers ... Leonardo da Vinci has many inventions and designs. These inventions can completely advance the progress of scientific civilization in our world by 100 years.

1 1, obsessed with the mechanical world

Underwater breathing device, traction device, clockwork transmission device, ball device, reverse screw, differential screw, fabric expander ... leonardo da vinci showed the world countless fantastic ideas. At the beginning of the story, I have to talk about Leonardo da Vinci's first experience of studying painting in Florence. In fact, this experience opened the door for artist Leonardo da Vinci and also for scientist Leonardo da Vinci.

1460, Leonardo da Vinci came to Florence with his father, started his apprenticeship and began to learn painting at the same time. Leonardo da Vinci, who studied painting, participated in the installation of the giant copper ball on the dome lighthouse of Notre Dame de Florence, thus contacting and feeling the magic of various mechanical systems.

The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Florence is the beginning of Renaissance architecture. When Da Vinci installed a giant copper ball on the dome lighthouse, he witnessed the efficiency of the three-speed hoist and other mechanical devices, and was deeply impressed by this magic. Thus, brunelleschi's mechanical system design concept had a great influence on Leonardo da Vinci. At that time, a group of "Siena engineers" also had an important influence on Leonardo da Vinci's scientific community.

Engineers in Siena designed a river silt excavator that looks like a boat, used to remove gravel and silt in shallow water, and a paddle boat that can increase the loading capacity and speed up the driving. The inventions of these Siena engineers made Leonardo da Vinci interested in the magic of machinery.

Since then, Leonardo has been fascinated by the mechanical world.

maestro

When it comes to artistic creation, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael achieved the highest achievements during the Renaissance. Their artistic achievements reached the second peak of western plastic arts after ancient Greece, and reached the first peak in Europe only in painting. Among them, Leonardo da Vinci is the most prominent, and Engels called him a giant among giants. In artistic creation, Leonardo da Vinci solved the main problems in three fields of plastic arts-architecture, sculpture and painting:

1, which solves the problems of architectural design and ideal urban planning of memorial central dome;

2. Completed the task of15th century, which has been a headache for sculptors;

3. Solved two important problems in painting at that time-memorial murals and altar paintings.

Leonardo da Vinci's artistic works not only reflect things like mirrors, but also express them by thinking, observing and choosing beautiful parts of nature, thus guiding his own creation. Mural The Last Supper, Altar Madonna in the Rock and Portrait Mona Lisa are three masterpieces of his life. These three works are one of the treasures left by Leonardo da Vinci to the world art treasure house and the cornerstone of European art.

Legend has it that when he was young, he helped his teacher draw a little angel in a painting called John the Baptist Christ. As a result, his level surpassed all the other characters drawn by the teacher. The famous teacher was ashamed, so he stopped dabbling in painting and only engaged in sculpture.

Leonardo da vinci is best known for his superb painting skills. His most famous works include Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Our Lady in the Rock, Santa Anna and The Virgin.

The Mona Lisa was painted for four years. It is said that the model is a Florentine who just lost her child. In order to relieve her pain and show her natural smile, Leonardo asked someone to play music for her. Her smile is a topic that people talk about, sometimes it looks serious and sometimes it looks gentle; Sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's ironic. Mona Lisa's right hand is called "the most beautiful hand in art history".

The Last Supper was painted on the wall of the sacred dining room of Gracy Church. Leonardo da Vinci changed the layout of the Last Supper painted by his predecessors, so that all the characters sat in a row facing outward, with Jesus Christ in the middle.

The representative of the Renaissance spirit.

Leonardo da Vinci had more and wider fantasies than anyone in the Renaissance. He is profound in thought and knowledge. He studied all the mysteries of nature and life with a never-ending spirit of exploration. He integrated art and science, reason and emotion, body and spirit, inherited and carried forward the humanistic thought and realistic expression of predecessors, pushed art to an unprecedented height and made great contributions to the development of natural science. Leonardo da Vinci is well-deserved "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance".

stop

In his later years, Leonardo da Vinci was invited to France by French King Francois I, who gave him the highest reception, placed him in a castle and asked him for advice from time to time. Leonardo da vinci was very old and died soon. It is said that he swallowed his last breath in the arms of Francois I who came here.

Creative process

[Edit this paragraph]

/kloc-at the age of 0/5, Leonardo da Vinci began to study in the studio of the painter A.del verrocchio. 1472 Join the Painters' Guild. In the mid-1970s, personal painting style gradually matured. From 1482 to 1499, he lived in France and engaged in other artistic and scientific activities besides serving the Duke of Milan. During this period, his paintings were not many, but The Virgin in the Rock and The Last Supper were his masterpieces. 1500 Travel to mantua and Venice. 1506, he returned to Florence to create the Madonna and Santa Anna and the Mona Lisa, and began to paint murals for the city hall. 1507 went to Milan again and served in the French court. 15 13 moved to Rome, 15 16 went to France and finally settled in Amboise. In his later years, he seldom painted, devoted himself to scientific research, and left a lot of notes and manuscripts when he died, covering almost everything from physics, mathematics to biological anatomy. Few paintings have been completed in his life, but they are all immortal. His works have obvious personal style and are good at combining artistic creation with scientific discussion, which is unique in the history of world art. Academics generally divide his creative activities into two stages: early stage and prosperous stage.

Early creation

When he studied art in verrocchio's studio, he showed an extraordinary talent for painting. About 1470 When he assisted verrocchio in drawing a picture of Christ's baptism, although he only drew an angel standing beside Christ, his manner, expression and gentle tone obviously surpassed that of verrocchio. According to legend, verrocchio stopped painting for this reason. His earliest work, Pregnancy Notice, still exists today. Although the composition is nothing new, the description of the background landscape pays attention to the expression of air atmosphere. This shows that he devoted himself to solving the dialectical relationship between writing and typical processing from the beginning. Later, The Portrait of Ginef La Debenheim, contrary to the tradition of 65,438+05 century art pursuing clear lines, rendered the perspective effect he advocated with the tone of backlit sunset. Written in 148 1, The Doctor Comes to Worship (also translated as Three Kings Comes to Worship) is a work that marks the maturity of its artistic style. Although the painting was not finished because he went to Milan, it can be seen from the original manuscript that the artistic innovation in composition and image-building greatly surpassed that of his teachers and colleagues: the stable composition of the triangle composed of the virgin baby and three doctors, and the accurate perspective of the painted architectural relics and galloping horses show that he no longer simply lists the relevant figures from the narrative point of view, but completely transforms the traditional theme. The dark painting method he adopted made the characters stand out from the shadows, broke through the characteristics clearly revealed in traditional painting, and heralded the arrival of the Renaissance.

Prosperous creation

1482, Leonardo da Vinci came to Milan, and at the invitation of Sanfrancesco Church, he painted the altar painting "Madonna of the Rock". Although this work hidden in Paris is still a traditional theme, its characterization, carving in the depths of caves and real description of flowers and plants among rocks prove that his smoke brushwork has made it reach a new level in fax realism and artistic treatment. This painting, in particular, was created by leonardo da vinci after a long time. Although the layout has not changed much, the movements of the characters have changed to some extent. It should be regarded as the first painting < < Madonna of the Rock > > The Last Supper is his most famous work in this period. This wet mural shows the farewell scene of Christ to his disciples before his arrest. It was painted in the dining room of the monastery of Santa Maria Derlager Hin in Milan. The ingenious composition and layout of the commercial camp make the hall on the screen closely connected with the building structure of the restaurant in life, making the viewer feel that the scene in the painting seems to happen right in front of him. In the layout of characters, Christ is placed in the form of a table, which makes him independent from the center of the picture. Other disciples expressed fear, anger, doubt, repentance and panic through their different gestures and expressions. This description of typical personality highlights the theme of painting and complements the unified effect of composition, which is the most perfect model in the history of art. Leonardo da Vinci returned to Florence in 1500. With the restoration of the harmonious system, the cultural atmosphere was once active, and outstanding figures such as Michelangelo and Raphael appeared in the painting world. He showed the public a well-conceived sketch of the Virgin and Santa Anna, which immediately caused a sensation. Its composition principle and painting method had a great influence on the art world, and Michelangelo and Raphael were also inspired by it. 1503 began to paint murals for the conference hall of the city hall (it was never finished because I went to Milan again), and at the same time, I created Mona Lisa, Notre Dame and Santa Anna. These are two works that he cherishes very much, and he always carries them with him. He emigrated to France in his later years and stayed in Paris.

In Leonardo da Vinci's artistic heritage, a large number of sketches are also worthy of attention. These sketches, like his official works, have reached a high level and are regarded as models of sketch art, which are characterized by meticulous observation, rigid and flexible lines, and especially good at expressing subtle changes of light and shadow with oblique lines of different densities. Every work of his is based on sketches. His artistic theory is scattered in more than 5,000 notes and his unfinished painting theory, which is also a great achievement in the study of agency theory in the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci was a famous painter in the Italian Renaissance and one of the most outstanding representatives of the Renaissance in Europe. He is a profound, knowledgeable and versatile artist, sculptor, architect, engineer, mechanic, scientific giant, literary theorist, great philosopher, poet, musician and inventor. He has made great contributions in almost every field. Later scholars called him "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance", "first-class scholar" and "prodigy". He deserves all the praise, even more.

Leonardo da Vinci is a symbol of human wisdom. He has infinite ideals like a god, trying to recreate the beauty of the world, measure the vastness of the world and explain the mystery of the world. But he only has ordinary life and strength. His ambition is to discover everything, study everything and create everything. His life is an endless road, full of lofty unfinished works. Before he died, he said sadly, "I have never finished a job in my life." Leonardo was born in the small town of Finch on the outskirts of Florence, so he was named Finch. At the age of five, he was able to draw a portrait of his mother on the beach from memory, and at the same time, he could improvise and sing with himself, which attracted the admiration of the people present. Father Antonio, as a lawyer, realized his son's painting ability and decided to send him to study in Rocchio Studio of Florence Artists Council. There, he was not only educated in painting, sculpture and architectural art, but also influenced by other sciences. Finch studied the relationship between light and shade of eggs in Rocchio's studio, and found the drawing method of gradual change of light and shade. He spent six years in Wei Rocchio's studio and grew into a model with modern scientific ideas and human wisdom. Finch can't display his talents in Florence. He is bent on bringing his art and wisdom into the real world and shining brilliantly. At the age of 3 1, he wrote a letter to ludovico sforza, the Grand Duke of Milan, in which he listed his various talents. Finally, he said that he could create a statue of the Grand Duke's father riding a horse and become an unprecedented giant statue in the world. The ceramic statue of the master who completed this masterpiece at the age of 4 1 was not completed because there were not enough copper castings, and it was destroyed when the French army invaded in 1499, otherwise it would be a miracle of the world. The archduke's reward for his genius and hard work was not gold coins, but gold words and jade words, which made Finch very uneasy. To comfort him, the Grand Duke asked him to draw a picture for the canteen of Gracie Temple in Milan. This is the last supper. If The Last Supper is the most famous religious painting in the world, the Mona Lisa painted by Finch when he returned to Florence from Milan at the age of 5/kloc-0 is undoubtedly the most famous and greatest portrait in the world. These two world-famous works make Leonardo da Vinci's name go down in history forever. Leonardo da vinci's unique artistic language is to use light and shadow to create a three-dimensional plane image. He once said: "The greatest miracle of painting is to make a flat painting look uneven." He used the principle of light change of a sphere to create the light-shade transfer method (also known as gradient light-shade method), that is, the transition from light to dark in an image is continuous, like smoke, without obvious boundaries. Mona Lisa is a model of this painting method. Vasari thinks that this kind of light and shadow painting is a turning point in painting art. Finch has been exploring the noble temperament of art all his life, and he can only be satisfied with the creation of beauty. /kloc-In the 5th century, Italy's pursuit and creation of science, rationality and beauty reached its peak because of Leonardo da Vinci. However, the master's talent was not valued and appreciated in his later years, and the Pope's indifference made him very sad. 15/kloc-When King Francois I of France reoccupied Milan in 0/5, he invited the master to settle in Crueburg, France, and applied to be a court painter. 15 19 Master died in a foreign country at the age of 67. His student Francisco mutch said, "The death of Finch is everyone's loss, and the creator can't create another person like him."

"God sometimes endows a person with beauty, elegance and talent, which makes his behavior superior, indicating that his genius comes from God rather than human power. This is the case with Leonardo. His elegance and grace are unparalleled, and his wisdom can solve all problems. " This is vasari's praise of Leonardo da Vinci.
