    Leonardo da Vinci

    1452-1519
    Introduction
    In my presentation I want to tell
    about biography and inventions of
    Leonardo da Vinci
    Renaissance Man
    The term «Renaissance
    Man» was coined from
    Leonardo’s many
    talents

    Leonardo da Vinci was an artist, scientist, and inventor during the Italian
    Renaissance. He is considered by many to be one of the most talented and
    intelligent people of all time. 
    Childhood and Youth
    Leonardo was born in
    the town of Vinci, Italy
    on April 15, 1452

    Not much is known about his childhood other than his father was wealthy
    and had a number of wives. About the age of 14 he became an apprentice to
    a famous artist named Verrocchio. This is where he learned about art,
    drawing, painting and more. 
    Leonardo da Vinci – the artist
    Leonardo da Vinci is
    regarded as one of the
    greatest artists in history.
    Leonardo excelled in many
    areas including drawing,
    painting, and sculpture.
    Two of his most famous
    paintings, and perhaps
    two of the most famous in
    the world, include the
    Mona Lisa and The Last
    Supper. 
    The Last Supper

    The Last Supper is one of the most famous paintings in the


    world.
    Vitruvian Man
    Leonardo's drawings are
    also quite extraordinary.
    Some of his drawings were
    previews to later paintings,
    some were studies of
    anatomy, some were closer
    to scientific sketches. One
    famous drawing is the
    Vitruvian Man drawing. It is
    a picture of man who has
    perfect proportions based
    off the notes from the
    Roman architect Vitruvius.
    A flying machine and a self portrait

    Other famous drawings include a


    design for a flying machine and a
    self portrait
    Journals

    Many of da Vinci's drawings and journals were made in his pursuit of


    scientific knowledge and inventions. He drew pictures and designs of hang
    gliders, helicopters, war machines, musical instruments, various pumps, and
    more. He was interested in civil engineering projects and designed a single
    span bridge, a way to divert the Arno River, and moveable barricades which
    would help protect a city in the case of attack. 
    Anatomy

    Many of his drawings were on the subject of anatomy. He


    studied the human body including many drawings on muscles,
    tendons, and the human skeleton.
    A heart and arms

    He had detailed figures of various parts of the body including the


    heart, arms, and other internal organs.
    Horse’s anatomy

    Leonardo didn't just study the human


    anatomy either. He also had a strong interest
    in horses as well as cows, frogs, monkeys,
    and other animals. 
    Death

    The greatest polymath, sculptor, artist,


    cartographer and writer died in 1519 at the
    age of 67.
    Conclusion
    In my presentation I learnt a lot of
    information about the extraordinary
    artist and scientist of all times. I
    explored his works and inventions and I
    showed you his great impact on art and
    history
