Introduction to Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was Leonardo Di Ser Piero Da Vinci, a famous Italian painter and scientist. Together with Raphael and Michelangelo, he is known as the three outstanding figures of the Italian Renaissance and one of the representatives of the whole European Renaissance.

Leonardo da Vinci is a knowledgeable and versatile painter, fable, sculptor, inventor, philosopher, musician, doctor, biologist, geographer, architectural engineer and military engineer.

Modern scholars call him "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance", and he is a unique all-rounder in human history. His greatest achievement is painting, and his masterpieces, such as Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, reflect his exquisite artistic attainments. He believes that the most beautiful research object in nature is the human body, which is a wonderful flower of nature, and painters should take people as the core of their painting objects.

In terms of art, Leonardo da Vinci summed up the research achievements of artists in the15th century, and made some achievements in painting composition, light and shade, perspective and color. In particular, the light and shade method he founded completely abandoned the method of sketching an image with a rigid outline in the15th century, but used light and shade to make the image emerge from the dark background, which increased the vitality and sense of space of the picture.

Leonardo da Vinci studied the relationship between atmosphere and color, and invented the "mist method" (that is, air perspective method), which bathed the foreground in light blue air and made the perspective relationship of painting more correct and perfect.

Leonardo da Vinci also had many outstanding views on art theory. People sorted out the painting theory from a large number of manuscript notes left by him, which reflected his aesthetic thought. The book puts forward the famous mirror that painting is superior to any other art, because it contains everything in the world, and the painter's heart can truly reflect the world like a mirror, turning the universe into a second nature.
