A Universal Man
• There was little that Leonardo did not excel at.
• He was a painter, a sculptor, an engineer, a musician, a singer, a mathematician, a physicist, a botanist, an anatomist, a cartographer, a geologist, a geographer, a poet, a town planner and an athlete.

A Universal Man
• He always wanted to write a treatise on painting (like Alberti), but never did.
• He seems to have not mastered Latin, the language of scholarship.
• - or perhaps he was simply too busy.

The Mona Lisa (La Giaconda)
• This oil on panel is his most famous work.
• Begun in 1503, it was still in his possession when he died in France.
• Salai sold it to the French King for 4,000 ecus, and so it now resides in the Louvre.

The Mona Lisa (La Giaconda)
• The subject is Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo.
• The pyramidic design is one often employed by Leonardo.
• The etherial landscape reveals his characteristic sfumato and the path reinforces the tendency of the eye to follow a triangular pattern.

The Mona Lisa (La Giaconda)
• The enigmatic smile is most frequently commented on.
• His capture of this transient expression displays unparalleled virtuosity.

The Mona Lisa (La Giaconda)• There is a hypothesis
that this is actually not a direct portrait of a Florentine woman at all – or that da Vinci has placed elements of his own image in the portrait.

The Notebooks• Leonardo kept notes
on everything.• Around 5,000 pages
still exist.• However, he used
mirror-writing to ensure privacy while and after he wrote.
• Perhaps he did so because he was left handed and found this easier.
