What are the characteristics of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings?

Leonardo da vinci's works of art can not only reflect things like a mirror, 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.

His portrait is the closest to a real person. In Leonardo da Vinci's view, the process of human understanding of art and science is also "based on perceptual experience and the noblest feeling-vision", "all our knowledge comes from perception" and "painting is indeed a science and the legitimate daughter of nature".

It can be seen that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of beauty is not only based on simple materialistic epistemology, but also has some characteristics that precede Descartes' "empiricism" epistemology, and this aesthetic thought also makes him accurately locate between reason and experience.

Anecdotal allusions

Leonardo da Vinci, a master painter, is a diligent and precious person, and his working method of regular short-term sleep delay is highly praised by people. This method improves the time utilization rate by adjusting the hard law of sleeping and not sleeping, that is, sleeping 15 minutes every 4 hours of work. In this way, the cumulative time of staying up late to sleep is only less than 1.5 hours, thus obtaining more working hours.

Thought of works

Leonardo da Vinci's aesthetic thoughts are concentrated in some notes that have always been called "artistic comparison". Comparing painting with poetry, music, sculpture and other arts is a popular form of literary criticism in the Renaissance, and Albert and francesca's painting theory also has such content.

It turns out that since ancient times, painting has not been regarded as a noble art because of its close relationship with manual production, which is inferior to other arts. On the contrary, Leonardo da Vinci proved that painting is superior to other arts. However, in our view today, this is not an important issue at all. It is important that we can see his views on painting by comparing with other arts.
