Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he has also become known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and palaeontology. Leonardo is widely regarded as a genius who epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works contributed to the development of European art to an extent rivalled only by that of his younger contemporary Michelangelo.

    Ci, którzy uprawiają praktykę bez pilności lub – by rzec lepiej – bez nauki, są jak żeglarze wypływający na morze statkiem bez steru i busoli, nie mając nigdy pewności, dokąd się skierują.

  • Quote

    Oysters open completely when the moon is full; and when the crab sees one it throws a piece of stone or seaweed into it and the oyster cannot close again so that it serves the crab for meat. Such is the fate of him who opens his mouth too much and thereby puts himself at the mercy of the listener.

    Czyż nie widzisz, jak liczne są potrawy i czynności ludzkie? Czy nie widzisz, jak rozmaite są zwierzęta, a także drzewa, zioła i kwiaty? Czy nie widzisz różnorodności okolic górzystych i równinnych, źródeł, rzek, miast, budowli publicznych i prywatnych, narzędzi potrzebnych do użytku ludzkiego, szat rozmaitych, strojów i rzemiosł?

“Muzyka nie może być zwana inaczej niż młodszą siostrą malarstwa, zważywszy, że jest przedmiotem słuchu, zmysłu pośledniejszego niż oko… malarstwo jest doskonalsze i przewyższa muzykę, gdyż nie umiera ono bezpośrednio po swym powstaniu…”
