Leonardo da Vinci: Great advances at the time
Introduction
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Anchiano, Italy and died in France at 67 years. It was a Florentine and painter polymatics, anatomist, architect, paleontologist, scientist, and philosopher among others. He began to do work in Milan and also worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice. His first painting is called `the jellyfish with dragons that causes fear among his observers. This work was created in 1458 and his father liked it so much that he was taught to Master Andrea del Verrocchio. In 1466 Da Vinci will enter the teacher’s workshop. In 1483 he was hired by the Immaculate Brotherhood Concepción where he painted the Virgen de las Rocas teaching his skills in botany and painting.
Developing
In 1490 he created the sketch of two of his most important inventions: the bicycle and the helicopter. Also created the ´fachadas of Alberti´ and the ´hombre vitruvio´. In 1498, in the murals of the convent of STA. Maria, painted the last dinner and two years later she was hired again as an engineer. His best known painting is the Lisa Mona or La Gioconda. It currently has a layer of darkened varnis. It is part of the Louvre Museum since 1797. He popularized after his robbery in 1911 for Vincenzo Peruggia, his reason was to want to take this work to the country where he was born. This work is a mixture of softness with creating a perspective.
Da Vinci uses a technique called sfumato technique. This technique means smoke in Italian, which translated into Spanish is smoke. It consists of the blur of the contours of the figures creating an illusion of existence between them and giving realism to the work. If we observe the painting, we can appreciate the reality of the photo, so much that we could think that instead of being a painting of Da Vinci, we could classify it as a photo of a woman who lived in the Renaissance era. It is one of the most studied works in history by its framing, which is very modern and the optical effects it causes. The feeling that the woman causes always observing who admires the work of the Italian polymata.
La Gioconda was painted in 1503 in Florence, since Da Vinci returned to this city. Two years later he dedicated himself to the extraction of corpses through anatomical sketches that he himself did. Showing his great knowledge for medicine and science. The flight of birds was also their study in 1505, the same year in which their flying machine creations began. In 1517 he created the Cardán Canyon and begins to suffer diseases and physical deterioration. And later a year later he will die in Cloux, France on May 2. It is a symbol of the Renaissance man for his ability to invent. The person with more talents is considered.
He was also an engineer and inventor and had very advanced ideas in his time. We have no trace of any of his sculptures, except for one: the virgin with the smiling child. Where the Virgin looks at her son with a mysterious smile that characterizes the art of Da Vinci. The child’s face and his corporeal position show realism and make the child who is alive looks like. He also wrote a 72 -page manuscript that contains ideas about hydrodynamics, astronomy, geology. Basically what he considered important for his art. Gabriele Neher, an art historian of the Renaissance said: ‘There is something in Leonardo who made even while he lived, he would be created almost like a cult of his personality.’
Leonardo Da Vinci devised numerous inventions that could not be carried out due to the little technology of the time, but his numerous sketches show that he never stopped devising new machines of which many can see represented in detail in his numerous sketches. Some of his most important and known inventions were: the bicycle. It is known or at least it is believed that Da Vinci created the first sketch of a functional bicycle and a certain modern aspect. This is a great example of this man’s great ingenuity due to the great energy efficiency of this machine that was not even normal for the time.
The helicopter or air screw. This first model was the inspiration for the first helicopter in history that was created in the forties. The Da Vinci model could never be created or proven at its time due to the lack of technology, but it served to understand the operation of this complex machine, when making a sketches so detailed and specific sketches made it possible to understand whatHe said in them, in that same sketch he explained that his invention was made only with cane, wire and linen. The parabolic compass. This invention has been very useful both in antiquity and today. In antiquity it was used for nautical and navigation.
In more modern times it has been used for sectors as relevant as architecture and mathematics can be. Leonardo Da Vinci also made the following statement: ‘If a man plays on his back and extends his hands and feet when placing a compass on his navel, the circumference that Trace must touch his fingers’. From this statement his famous sketch came the man of Vitruvio, who has been used and studied throughout the history of humanity. The rotating bridge. This bridge was designed by Da Vinci and one of its main characteristics was to be mounted and disassembled quickly and easily. This invention was also included in the Codex Atlanticus.
But its main function was in addition to allowing transportation through rivers, allowing the ships, hence this bridge is rotating. Da Vinci thought that his rotating bridge could be used in war time facilitating the strategic game. The light, but robust materials, united to a rolled system based on strings and pulleys, allowed an army to collect it easily. High range and rapid installation bridge model. Maneuvering organs allow rotation. It presents the particularity that it is built on one shore, without the need to access the other, and then when rotating it it is reached.
The diver suit. This suit with a futuristic aesthetic designed by Leonardo Da Vinci is said to imagined him for military purposes and to help the Republic of Venice to overcome the Ottoman forces that were more powerful. Da Vinci lived in Milan, but he moved to Venice to find peace and what he found was that the Ottoman Empire had attacked the floating city and had defeated the Venetian naval fleet taking many prisoners. He was inspired by the new geography of his home walking repeated days and taking many notes to design what Venice needed to defend himself, anyway to Da Vinci he did not grace the idea of using his inventions for military purposes.
The suit was leather with a mask and glasses. The mortar. Da Vinci aimed to build an object that can have the mechanism and the ability to launch an object within the perimeter of scope. I wanted to give use to his invention to protect the city of wars by launching large heavy stones to fall on the enemies. This mortar worked through gears to aim and with a spring at the base to propel the stone. The watch. To be exact and avoid confusion we must first say that Da Vinci did not invent the clock, but that it improved the same making it more precise.
The Da Vinci clock had two differentiated pendulos that served to mark the hours and minutes, these were composed of arts and harnesses that were carefully connected. In addition to the aforementioned this clock also had a dial to be able to follow the phases of the moon. The Leicester Codex. Leonardo da Vinci loved taking notes about everything he saw listened or just seemed interesting. For this reason the Leicester codex is so important when we want to talk about his life, since there is great vital curiosity led him to write down and write everything that came up with and after years of machineing great ideas all these were collected in the Leicester code.
conclusion
In this book or number of pages grouped, since they were not placed in a book as such all the ideas and writings of this man’s life are collected and we can see his great genius in facts such as inventions that would not be created until centuriesthen at a time with such a rudimentary technology as the time he lived. The value of this gigantic manuscript composed of 32 of its newspapers and about 7200 pages that is calculated that it is only a quarter of what this great man wrote during his life, is huge and the last time he was bought in that case by theBill Gates billionaire this cost 60 million dollars.
