1452 On April 5th, Da Vinci was born in Da Vinci Town near Florence, Italy. Father is a local.
A well-off notary public. Leonardo da Vinci showed his talent for painting from an early age. His little animals are lifelike, lifelike.
His father sent him to the painting studio of his friend, a famous painter and sculptor in Frogia as an apprentice.
When Leonardo da Vinci came to the painting workshop, his teacher, Frogia, brought him an egg to draw. Leonardo da Vinci quickly drew several eggs.
Zhang, but the teacher asked him to continue painting for a few days. Da Vinci finally got impatient and thought that the teacher had underestimated him.
He asked him to draw such a simple egg. The teacher saw his mind and said meaningfully, "This egg is not simple, and it is world-famous."
There are no two identical eggs in the world. Even the same egg has a different shape because of different observation angles and different light.
The same thing. "
Da Vinci suddenly realized that the original teacher was to cultivate his ability to observe things and grasp images. Since then,
He sleepless nights to train the basic skills of painting, learn all kinds of art and scientific knowledge, and prepare for his future career in painting and other aspects.
Excellent results have laid a solid foundation.
At that time, the topic selection and expression of painting were restricted by the feudal church, but Leonardo da Vinci's thought was not restricted by it.
Bundle, advocating liberation and freedom. 1476, Virginia undertook the production of the painting "The Baptism of Christ", and Leonardo da Vinci was in charge.
Teacher's assistant. However, the religious figures drawn by the teacher are rigid and lifeless. Da Vinci only painted a corner of the painting.
The angel on the side is full of human spirituality and looks lively and lovely, vivid and natural. Compare the two and make the teacher feel better.
The painted characters are all dwarfed. On the one hand, the stubborn teacher marveled at the talents of the students, on the other hand, she was ashamed of herself, so she put down the painting.
Pen, concentrate on carving.
Leonardo da Vinci pursued painting tirelessly all his life, leaving us with many masterpieces that will last forever. One of the most famous is
The Last Supper and Mona Lisa.
The Last Supper is a mural made by Leonardo da Vinci for the canteen of Santa Maria Monastery in Milan, which is based on the Bible.
The story of Jesus being betrayed by his disciple Judas.
In this work, Leonardo da Vinci brilliantly describes what Jesus said at dinner, "One of you has betrayed.
After the sentence "I", the immediate expression of his 12 disciples. You can get insight into everyone through their different expressions.
Everyone's personality and complex mentality. The layout of the picture highlights Jesus, and the disciples echo left and right. Jesus sitting in the middle is solemn,
The background set off his aboveboard with bright windows. Judas, the traitor, looked flustered in the darkest part of the picture, which showed his heart.
The earth is dirty and ugly, in sharp contrast to Jesus.
In this painting, Leonardo da Vinci eulogized truth and justice in a realistic way, and lashed out at the actions and sins of traitors.
Power.
Da Vinci worked hard to create this painting. In order to accurately depict Judas, he went to various occasions.
Observe criminals, hooligans and gamblers, guess their mentality, behavior and form repeatedly, and draw a lot of sketches until they are drawn.
His satisfied image. The great success of this painting made no one dare to set foot on this subject again.
The portrait of Mona Lisa is based on the wife of a friend of Leonardo da Vinci. For this painting, Leonardo da Vinci first studied it.
In order to keep her happy mood, harpists and singers were specially invited to perform for her. Leonardo da Vinci accurately said
Captured Mona Lisa's charming smile in an instant, and described her subtle psychological activities in detail with delicate brushstrokes.
Now when you look at this painting, you will still feel the suffocating power contained in her smile.
Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist who achieved Pei Ran achievements, but also a versatile scientist. He spends his money on scientific research.
Spent a lot of time and energy and achieved great success. He deeply observes and studies animals, plants, geology and even human nature.
Body. He also imitated the wings of birds and designed an aircraft similar to an airplane. He also designed many advanced spinning wheels, high
Efficient machine tools and punching machines put forward the concept of geology for the first time, and described human bones and muscles correctly and comprehensively for the first time.
And the proportion of the human body. His scientific practice provides an ideological source for future scientists.
Leonardo da Vinci was persecuted by feudal religious forces for a long time because of his radical bourgeois humanistic political view. 1
In 5 17, he was 65 years old, but he was still forced to leave his motherland and live in France. Two years later, the artist
The giant engine suddenly stalled.
Leonardo da vinci In the past few centuries, Leonardo's knowledge and learning have basically spread to every westerner. He may be the highest example of versatility in history. Leonardo da Vinci, like Einstein, is a trademark used by human beings to express "genius".
In the era when Leonardo lived, it was not uncommon for people to try all kinds of knowledge or professional skills. Even so, no painter, sculptor, architect or engineer could match him at that time. In addition, his exploration of nature should not only understand the process, but also understand the reasons. Therefore, it is reasonable for dan brown to call him "an admirer of nature's originality". When his contemporaries copied flowers and trees from pictures in books, he sketched directly in nature. The plants he chose and painted are symbolic. Just like Brown's terrible description of us, Leonardo did carry out an autopsy: there were * * * 30 bodies, and according to his whole research period, there were two bodies every year. It was illegal at that time, but whether he personally broke the ground to get the body was another matter. The church believes that the human body should be buried intact in order to be reborn on the "Last Judgment Day". However, it is obvious that Leonardo did this with the permission of the church; There is no doubt that his painting skills of representing the human body at various levels have won the praise of many powerful people. In other words, autopsies were forbidden, but no one bothered to deal with Da Vinci's actions. In some cases, this blatant disregard for the law is reminiscent of the current judicial situation in Italy. Leonardo's meticulous painting has made great contributions to modern medicine, and all of us have benefited from it.
Many of his inventions showed considerable foresight. He drew drawings of tanks, parachutes, cars and helicopters, which took hundreds of years to make. He even designed the telescope 100 years earlier than Galileo. For Leonardo, the highest sense of human beings is vision, because it has the function of accurate transmission. He thus formed the philosophy of "knowing and seeing"-learning how to observe. Dan brown said that Leonardo da Vinci's paintings with the theme of Christianity were a commercial means to maintain his luxurious life, which was unfair to him. Leonardo used unparalleled skills in everything. He came from a rich family. Admittedly, he never drew an explanatory cross. It is also difficult to describe him as the creator of a "huge" Christian scroll-to be sure, several of his 17 paintings were never completed.
Art historians call him Leonardo. "Da Vinci" is not his surname, but only shows where he comes from, just as Alexander the Great's surname is not "the Great". However, the widespread use of Da Vinci has made this point clear.
Leonardo was born in 1452. He is the illegitimate son of a successful Florence lawyer and landlord, Thayer pierrot. His mother came from a farmer in Florence and later married a local worker. Leonardo grew up in his father's old house in Finch, near Empoli, and was treated as a real son, educated in reading, writing and arithmetic. Later, he studied Latin, advanced mathematics and geometry.
When he was nearly 16 years old, his father asked him to learn from Verozzi, where he learned painting, sculpture and mechanical skills. During this period, he should know Botticelli, another master of the priory, because the latter was a student admitted by Verozzi Olympics at the same time. It was about that time that he learned anatomy from the studio next door. He worked independently in Florence until 148 1, during which he completed many works, including The Worship of the Magi.
1482, he joined ludovico sforza. Sforza means "great power" in Latin, and Atando, a mercenary soldier from a peasant family, adopted his surname. Starting with his son Francisco, his descendants ruled Milan as a duke from 1450- 1535. Duke of Milan, nicknamed "Ludovico the Moor". There, his court title was "painter and engineer of the Duke". Sforza's best friend is René de Anjou (Ren? d？ Anjou) Anjou, a noble family in the northwest of France, established three dynasties in Europe: Geoffrey IV of this family married the daughter of Norman King Henry I, and their son became Henry II in 1 154, which opened the "Plantagenet Dynasty" in Britain instead of Norman rule; Charles, Earl of De Anjou, became the king of Naples and Sicily in 1266, and Sicily was later annexed by Spain. His descendants ruled Naples until1442; Charles Robert, a descendant of the Napoli branch, became King Charles I of Hungary, and the branch died after 1395. Another master of the priory. Leonardo spent 17 years there until Ludovico fell from power. In addition to painting, sculpture and designing palace banquets, he was also a technical consultant for buildings, forts and military projects, and even worked as a water conservancy and mechanical engineer. It was during this period that he fully developed his all-encompassing genius.
During this period, he completed seven oil paintings, including The Virgin of the Rock mentioned by dan brown. This is an altar painting, which will be exhibited in San Francisco Cathedral in Milan. The Last Supper is an outstanding work painted on the wall of Santa Maria Monastery, which was also created during this period.
From then on, Leonardo began to develop his concept of "painting". He believes that painters are the perfect intermediary for vividly inheriting knowledge by using their extraordinary visual functions. To this end, he taught knowledge with a brush. It is especially important to understand the role of Leonardo da Vinci in The Da Vinci Code. Leonardo not only created a beautiful mural "The Last Supper", but also told us an extremely important event in his way. Hundreds of years later, anyone who can get his password will know the true meaning of this painting. In the case of using both words and pictures, he will give priority to using pictures. Pictures are not used to express meaning, but words are only used to explain pictures.
From 1490 to 1495, he wrote papers on painting and architecture, as well as books on mechanics and human anatomy. He also continued to conduct research in various scientific fields. Everything he did was recorded in detail in words and drawings, and many of the thousands of pages of notes accumulated have been preserved to this day.
Because he is left-handed, "writing backwards" is not too difficult for him. His writing is not easy to read, and it is even more difficult to add spelling mistakes and abbreviations. His comments don't always follow a logical order. He uses "writing backwards" in his work, but his correspondence with others shows that his regular writing is also very smooth. Sergio Branly, Leonardo's main biographer, reviewed all his manuscripts and decided that he could write with both hands and directions.
Even if it doesn't work, it is one of the consequences-people who write with their left hands "write backwards" will not cause ink stains. Of course, he may have written it secretly on purpose and didn't want others to steal his mind. Apart from the reasons of secrecy, this may come from his unusual ideas about Christianity. As dan brown said, left-handers in the Da Vinci era were associated with the "left wing" and evil forces. Therefore, left-handed people are suspected in the eyes of the world; In retrospect, it should be rare for someone like Leonardo to make this public. He wrote for publication, and in a corner of an anatomical sketch, he left a sentence asking his followers to ensure that all his works could be printed and published.
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/500, Leonardo da Vinci left Milan and returned to Florence via Venice. The city council there asked him how to defend against the Turkish attack on friuli. Leonardo suggested flooding the area. After returning to Florence, he began to sketch the Madonna and Santa Anna and draw the Madonna with a spool. 1503, Leonardo da Vinci left Florence to work for Ciceri Boca, Duke of valentino. The maharaja is Rodrigo Borgia, a priest of Pope Alexander VI, and Caesar is his illegitimate child. Relying on the influence of his family, he enjoyed worldly pleasures and bribed two-thirds of the votes, from 1492 to 1503. 1493, he issued a decree to distribute America to Spain and Portugal, and sent the first missionaries to this area. The blood of the first family was the most frightening thing for the subjects at that time. He is suspected of murdering his brother. There is no doubt that his crime is the murder of his in-laws brother, Duke Alfonso of Bisgri, and the second husband married by his notorious sister. Leonardo was fascinated by Borgia-the 27-year-old duke was only half as old as Leonardo.
During this period, Leonardo da Vinci participated in urban planning and the production of regional maps. His method laid the foundation of modern cartography. 1503, he returned to Florence and planned a canal from the city to the sea. This plan has never been implemented, but now there is a highway connecting Florence and the seaside, and the way coincides with Leonardo da Vinci's plan.
From 1503 to 1506, Leonardo da Vinci, who painted murals in the hall of 500 sages in Florence, began to create the Mona Lisa. Before this painting is finished, he should be Charles da Henbois, the governor of Milan of the French king, a senior bishop of France and a political figure. French Louis XII of France ascended the throne on 1498, and he became a cardinal, archbishop and cabinet prime minister. 1503 led the French army to occupy Milan and served as the Vatican's plenipotentiary minister. Please go back to Milan. During his six years in Milan, he devoted himself to architecture. As a member of the royal family, he received an annual salary of 400 gold coins. At the same time, he drew the second edition of Madonna of the Rock.
15 13 After the French were expelled from Milan, Leonardo da Vinci moved to Rome. Juliano de Medici medici family, brother of Pope Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, is a duke family, ruling Florence from 1434- 1737. Artists who support and sponsor it include Michelangelo and Botticelli. The family also produced two famous Renaissance popes: Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici and Clemente VII. Make room for him in his own mansion. This building is now a part of Vatican City-the beautiful palace. Compared with other colleagues, such as Michelangelo, he is busy with all kinds of architecture and art projects, and despite his salary, he has almost nothing to do.
In the14th century, Leonardo was sent to the position of count inherited by the marriage of Montbangji's eldest son and Bourbon. By the time Charles was promoted to Duke, he was dead. Charles army. Languedoc, the French military director, is an ancient province in southern France, named after languedoc? OC- The Danish language of Oaksey in southern France. It is located in the eastern Pyrenees, along the Mediterranean Sea to the north bank of the Rhone River, near Lyon. Toulouse is the capital of the old province. The governor of Milan was a powerful minister in France at the beginning of16th century. 15 19, who took over the post of chairman of the priory from Leonardo.
At the age of 65, Leonardo accepted the appointment of the young French king Francis I to serve in his court. In the last three years of his life, he lived in a small house next to the King's Summer Palace on the Loire River. His official title was "the king's chief painter, architect and mechanic". During this period, he was generally regarded as a VIP. His only oil painting was John the Baptist, and the rest of his works only included sketches of court banquets. He designed a garden bedroom for the king's mother, but all the plans were abandoned because of the threat of epidemic malaria.
1565438+On May 2, 2009, Leonardo da Vinci died in Clova and was buried in the church of St. Florence Palace. Who would have thought that this church was severely damaged in the French Revolution and was finally demolished in the19th century? The owner's grave is nowhere to be found, and his most loyal disciple, Francesco melcher, inherited his legacy.
Leonardo has always been described as one of the pioneers of the Rose Cross, and a biographer named vasari declared that he had a "pagan mentality". This so-called evil thought includes his belief that Jesus Christ has a twin brother Thomas. In The Last Supper, two almost identical images of Jesus appeared. The second man on the left looks like Jesus sitting in the middle, and people suspect that this image mostly represents Thomas.
