The genius of Leonardo da Vinci

Artist Leonardo da Vinci produced two of the most famous paintings in history, "The Last Supper" and the "Mona Lisa." But he was also passionate about medical discoveries and military inventions, some of which were centuries ahead of their time. Walter Isaacson, author of bestselling biographies of Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, has written a new book about da Vinci, and he talks with Dr. Jon LaPook about why this Renaissance Man's mind and curiosity were so extraordinary.

    Leonardo is a fictitious character. That's why "he" depicted futuristic things, because his existence was forged in the last 300 years. That's why he didn't sign a single damn painting. He never existed except in stories that you idiots parrot. Show me the primary sources to prove he existed.

    Fibo, It is absolute nonsense. Let me explain. There is a Leonardo codex (collection of pages) that belongs to an Italian monastery. This had been taken out of storage and was being examined for the purpose of study and/or restoration. It was left in a room where various members of the monastery staff had access to it. The codex went missing for a couple of days. One o the unusual things about it was that two pages were stcuck together. When these were prised apart, four drawings were found beteen the pages. These drawings are extremely amateurish and scratchy. They are 1. A crudely drawn face of a boy in a hat. 2. A penis with legs, labelled with the name of one of Leonardo's pupils. 3. Another that I can't remember- I think it is just a few straight lines. 4. A very very badly drawn bicycle. The bicycle makes use of two ink circles which are part of a diagram drawn on the other side of the page. How can we be sure Leonardo didn't draw it? It is mechanically SERIOUSLY wrong. i.e. the pedals go down below the wheels, so if it was made, they would scrape the ground. This is not the sort of error that a person DESIGNING a bike could possibly make. But it IS the sort of error that a person who KNEW about bicycles, and was bad at drawing, could make. The four drawings are all by the same hand, and they are all very poor drawings. Leonardo, even when he did just a little sketch, drew very competently. There is a big difference between a quick sketch by a good artist and a drawing by someone who draws badly. Leonardo did not design the bicycle. BUT he DID design the linked chain and sprogged wheel that is essential to the bicycle mechanism. This has other applications, and was a great invention.

    Leonardo DID know how famous his work was. When you draw a picture- a large picture four feet across, as a plan for a painting of the Virgin and Christ Child, and before the drawing is even finished, people are flocking to see it night and day, as if it was a side show, then you know that your work is famous. When the King of France comes to visit the Pope, and you are called in and the King says, Leonardo I want you to come back to France and live in a beautiful Château of your own and just live out your life in comfort, then you know that you have really made it as an artist.

    To say that Leonardo died "a poor man" Is hardly true. Leonardo died with all the material comforts that he could possibly want, including a beautiful chateau, and the patronage of the king of France. The painting f Leonardo's death shown in this video, shows king Francis cradling Leonardo's head as he died. I will add here that some recent research indicated that Francis made a proclamation, several days distant, on the day of his death, and therefore ould not have been present, as tradition claims. A little further research indicated that the proclamation was actually delivered by one of the Kings nobles, and in fact Francis may well have been present after all. Two interesting facts about Leonardo's will- He left his housekeeper a fine black cloak with a fur collar. This meant that she could go in his funeral procession as one of his chief mourners, with her humble clothes disguised by a cloak as fine as any woman of the town. He left instructions that sixty old men of the town should follow his bier as mourners. THis meant that each man would receive a good meal and wine as part of the wake. He left his notebooks to his pupil and assistant Count Francesco Melzi, who began to prepare his works for publication. He left money and land, and the Mona Lisa to his scoundrelous pupil known as Salai. Salai didn't live long as he was killed in a duel.

He lived in a chateau, attended by servants and with the King of France as his friend..

The King was fascinated by him and offered him and his apprentice whatever they wanted (in exchange of Leonardo's simple presence, conversations, knowledge of fireworks for the court's parties etc...) even his paintings were inherited for his apprentice/lover and the King respected that and bought some after. Informations founded in every biography I read by Art Historians who spent their life being loyal with the facts (Vasari, Clark, Zöllner, teachers...)

    I'm a "gay" man (sometimes I('m even happy about that) too but I think people today make a mistake thinking homosexually automatically means engaging in "buggery". That isn't necessarily the case. Freud wrote a portrait of Leonardo and he seriously doubted Leonardo was very sexually active most of his life. The upper classes had some privileges that weren't common to most but that didn't mean it was clear sailing. Those at the top had very little personal privacy. Almost no one, almost up to the present day had much personal privacy. It would have been very hard for Leonardo to do anything notorious. Freud didn't consider homosexuality a disease or "abomination". He called Leonardo an "ideal' homosexual. The young man may not have been his lover but a surrogate son a companion and helper. The people of his era tended to live with intense discipline, either from within or imposed on them, and would probably have accepted man on man love as long as it remained within scriptural definitions of proper practice. I tend to think that in a time of high mortality rates for all ages, making babies. especially dynastic heirs, was seen as an almost absolute duty. We're living in a time when it is almost a situation where having a physical body is becoming a burden. in as much as most of the grunt work of life has been replaced with machinery and even so much of the labor of thought is being supplanted by AI, raising children may be something only those with the where-with-all may actually engage in it? It might even be the case that the proportion of those how actually get to pass on their genes isn't much different than it was historically? . BTW - I didn't even notice you wrote English as a second language. My Grandmother In Waterbury Ct. used to carry on a lifelong correspondence with a French woman my Grandfather had met in WWI and neither of them could speak the other's language. My Grandmother wrote English but Germaine used a dictionary. My Grandmother couldn't get more than a high school education but Germaine was many years younger and probably had the longer schooling. My Grandfather had the measles and was laid up for a time in a French hospital and met Germaine who was a teenager nursing helper.

Apart from books you can learn a lot from magazines, there are so much very very well done, don't forget that. - Otherwise I will not end this answer without mentionning Giorgio Vasari : "The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects", usually in 2volumes... ENTHRILLING Full of life and fun, very respectful for the artists he writes about. You can learn from the very veeeery early Italian Renaissance to the end of the XVIth century when he died (he was a friend of Michelangelo so you'll learn a lot of great stuff😃). Very easy to read just by the fact that it's one biography after another... like chapters but in this case you pick the ones you like... (at the end you'll probably read everything anyway hahha) And it's so well written... I'll give you a teaser here... (personnally I've read it in french and it was lovely so don't know how this translation would do but I'm sure the translator here had also the talent of keeping everything great)... WELL.

    The famous art historian erwin panofsky wrote a book on leonardo's codex huygen. That is a very profound essay. Highly recommended. Wisdom worth more than millions. A lot of kings or bankers were forgotten but his last supper was admired for centuries. Art gives humanity a glimpse of heaven.

    At Folsom State Prison in California, there is a painting of The Last Supper that was painted 1938 on the inside of the chappel, on a wall by inmate 21692 Ralph Pecor. But he had to come up with his own paint which was difficult. So he imprivised with shoe polishes and other odd concoctions. Just to be kinda like leonardo he painted it with the faces switched out with those of guards and inmates. Check it out at (Folsom Prison 'Last Supper' Mural Featuring Inmates, Guards As Disciples) it is really cool.

    If I'm honest with you, I think that the most extraordinary things about Leonardo da Vinci is that he drew and designed things that people these days wouldn't even think of drawing and things that were not even close to being invented for centuries! That circle thing with the roof looked like a helicopter! Not only that, but he designed a car!!! This was the 15th and 16th centuries to clarify; 1400 and 1500!

What made me smile about him though, is his passion for knowledge in knowledge itself. He would get sassy with fat aristocratic men, stopping them in the streets to ask them, "describe to me the texture of a humming bird's tongue". I love knowledge in the same miscellaneous way :)

    Leonardo-s father wasn't a count. And Leonardo was not "unwanted". He was cared for by his mother, who married and continued to live in the house where he was born. Here husband probably worked for Leonardo's father in his olive orchard. When Leonardo was born, his grandfather wrote in his diary that his Grandson had arrived that night. When Leonardo was five he was taken to live with his father, grandfather and young uncle. His father then married a young woman who loved Leonardo, but unfortunately she died in childbirth. By the time he was a teenager, Leonardo was already showing great talent. His father moved from Vinci which was a large village, into Florence so that Leonardo could be apprenticed to a master painter. None of this sounds like an "unwanted" child. He seems to have been very much wanted. Later in life, he had a woman in his household called Caterina. This seems to have been his widowed mother who he cared for until her death..

    Vidal Martinez, It is nonsense. There are a great number of paintings of the last supper. In Florence, where Leonardo grew up, there are at least eight large versions of the painting which Leonardo would have seen as a boy, and as a young painter- by Giotto, Fra Angelico, Ghirlandaio, della Castagna and others. ALL of them show Saint John the Evangelist as a young, beardless, beautiful youth. Think about this: a painter is an artist. He likes pretty things and pretty paintings- but the Last Supper has twelve men and a teenage boy sitting around a table. There is only ONE opportunity to paint something pretty, and that is the teenage boy.
