In the interface between the average age and modern age, a place
in multidisciplinary capacity is considered by the encyclopedias as
the most extensive, which includes a list of professions among
which is: painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, physicist, Geometer,
biologist, geologist, astronomer, botanist, anatomist, musician,
linguist, philosopher, etc.
At a time when the study of the human body was strictly forbidden,
permission permits, dissecting about thirty corpses and drawing in
great detail a large part of the organs of the body, with a clarity
never before achieved.
His ideas are more revolutionary than those of others who ended up
in the inquisitorial bonfire, although perhaps his writing "on the left",
his sympathy and personal treatment, the mechanical protection and
his ability to do the difficult to save the stories.
Leonardo da Vinci
Florentine court records show that in 1476 da Vinci and four other
young men were charged with sodomy, a crime punishable by exile
or even death. Although da Vinci was acquitted, his whereabouts
went entirely undocumented for the following two years.
Final Years
Ironically, Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, who had led the French forces
who conquered Ludovico in 1499, followed in his foe’s footsteps and
commissioned da Vinci to sculpt a grand equestrian statue, one that
could be mounted on his tomb. After years of work and numerous
sketches by da Vinci, Trivulzio decided to scale back the size of the
statue, which was ultimately never finished.
Amid political strife and the temporary expulsion of the French from
Milan, da Vinci left the city and moved to Rome in 1513 along with
Salai, Melzi and two studio assistants. Giuliano de’ Medici, brother
of newly installed Pope Leo X and son of his former patron, gave da
Vinci a monthly stipend along with a suite of rooms at his residence
inside the Vatican. His new patron, however, also gave da Vinci little
work. Lacking large commissions, he devoted most of his time in
Rome to mathematical studies and scientific exploration.
Although da Vinci is known for his artistic abilities, fewer than two-
dozen paintings attributed to him exist. One reason is that his
interests were so varied that he wasn’t a prolific painter. For
centuries afterward, however, thousands of pages from his private
journals with notes, drawings, observations and scientific theories
have surfaced and provided a fuller measure of a true “Renaissance
man.”
CONCLUSIONS
• It owns several of the most valuable paintings in the world and the
most famous painting in the world "La Gioconda".
