AnatomyLeonardo drew many studies of the human skeleton and its

parts, as well as muscles and sinews. He studied the mechanical functions of the skeleton and the muscular forces that are applied to it in a manner that prefigured the modern science of biomechanics. He drew the heart and vascular system, the internal organs, making one of the first scientific drawings of a fetus in utero. As an artist, Leonardo closely observed and recorded the effects of age and of human emotion on the physiology, studying in particular the effects of rage.

How Leonardo wroteLeonardo wrote backwards and upside down. He did this so

he wouldn’t be prosecuted by the church by not believing that God does everything

Leonardo made over 200 pages of drawings and many pages of notes towards a treatise on anatomy.

Working in all areas of knowledge and art, it everywhere was original and great; and not his fault if his merits in the field of a science and philosophy were estimated too late…
