TRANSCRIPT
Who is Leonardo Da Vinci??Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci
Born April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519
Painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician,
engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer,
botanist, and writer
One of the greatest painters of all time
Mona Lisa is the most famous and most parodied
portrait
MEANING
Mirror writing is defined as the production of individual
letters or whole words in reversed form
They become easily read when viewed with a mirror
Mirror writing is most commonly characteristic of young
children who are in the early stages of language
Strange thing of Mirror Writing
Mirror-writing is striking and mysterious
It has been practiced sequence by some weird
individuals most famously Leonardo da Vinci by his
portrayed to powerful effect in literature and visual art
Special interest to psychologists because it can
sometimes arise in people trying to write normally
THEORIESPerceptual Explanations Theories:-
Hand was more adept at mirror writing and
Investigated the basis for this superiority
Participants were asked to mirror write words and
sentences with both their dominant and non-
Dominant hands and errors
Were counted as instances when the writing was not
correctly / Mirror reversed
The phenomenon
Term “mirror writing” (Spiegelschrift) was introduced by
Buchwald
Sometimes executed by entirely normal people
Only seen by human variety of neurological disorders
Leonardo began hundreds of projects to learn about the
world around him
Most of his scientific theories and inventions never made it
past the notebook stage
War machine from the armored car, firearm with screw
elevating gear, machine for stormaing walls, hoist for lifting
cannons, eight barrded organ, automatic igniting device,hull
rammer, giant cross bow, ballsta for hurling stones, scythed
chariot, split-trail gun carriage, and many more
Flying machines such as the aerial screw, device for testing
beating wings, flying ship, articulated wing, parachute,
anemometer, flapping-wing machine with vertical bearing
wing structure,i nclinometer, wing-beating device with a
screw and lead screw system, leat spring engine for flying

UNTAINTED BY DOGMA
The female played a much larger role in the
reproduction of human life than the male
Expression of his search for the truth and not an
allegiance to any dogmatic ideology
Compare the anatomy of people with that of animals
Experiencing the truth through a first hand method
was everything to Leonardo
INNOVATION OF LEONARDO DA VINCI
DRAWING HIS FINDINGS All study conducted by anatomists was in writing and not
in diagrammatic form
This was inefficient by Leonardo's standard
When something is drawn, it is in a sense recreated
Drawing (and painting) was the only medium at the time
that could replicate an item more closely than anything
else
The following is a quote on the
benefits of drawing anatomy
rather than a written
description:-
‘...knowledge that is impossible for
ancient or modern writers to
convey without an infinitely
tedious example and confused
prolixity of writing and time.’ “ Studies of the Golden ratio “
PUBLISHING LEONARDO DA VINCI ANATOMY
FINDINGS Collaboration with an anatomist from University of Pavia;
Marcantonio della Torre
Leonardo would provide the immaculate Leonardo Da Vinci
drawing style of dissections and his colleague would edit and
publish the work.
Leonardo's colleague passed away from catching the Black
Death (following year)
He continued his exploration of the human anatomy tirelessly
FIRST TO DISSECT THE FEMALE BODY & THE
EMBRYOLOGY Leonardo understood that there was much more complexity
and upheaval within the female body
His most recognised work on the female anatomy is called
'The Great Lady‘
Leonardo was the first to study a human foetus and to
record his findings. Leonardo is ‘informally’ the father of
embryology as his findings were of the embryology were
lost before being rediscovered by others in the 20th century
LEONARDO'S SURGERY STUDIES COULD SAVE MILLIONS OF
LIVES!
The cause of Heart disease through a build up of cholesterol could have saved millions of lives
Leonardo had worked out that a substance carried though the blood and produced by what we eat imbeds itself in the arteries and blocks natural blood flow
Heart disease due to cholesterol kills multiples of thousands every year
If cholesterol identified by 15th-century medicine, food that produce and reduce cholesterol can be work out and millions of people could be saved
VITRUVIAN MAN Before Leonardo, artists were interested purely in
topographical anatomy Leonardo want to discover everything that there was to
know about nature, which included the human body By dissecting dead bodies, he began to reveal the secrets
of nature and also gain knowledge to increase the realism of his drawings
Leonardo believed that there was a deeper connection between the construct of the Universe and the human being
By knowing what was going on underneath human skin, Leonardo could more correctly project the exterior anatomy of his art
This surgery of dead bodies would eventually lead Leonardo in breaking many religious laws of the time and put his life in risk by being put to death for Necromancy
The very distinct Da Vinci style of anatomy drawing was born
And so was Leonardo's portrayal of the perfect proportions of the human body housed within the Vitruvian Man
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) remains best known for his art, including two paintings that remain among the world’s most famous and admired, Mona Lisa and Arno Valley
Art was indisputably connected with science and nature
He filled dozens of secret notebooks with inventions, observations and theories about pursuits from aeronautics to anatomy
“ Arno Valley “
When milan was invaded by the french in 1499 and sforza family fled, Davinci escape as well
Davinci was fled to florence At florence, davinci has
painted a series of painting and included the “La Gioconda”
“La Gioconda” is the other name for the Mona Lisa
“ La Gioconda or Mona Lisa “
