Leonardo Da Vinci
Renaissance
Ezequiel De La Fuente
Your article was enjoyable to read and I like how you added prior information about how dissections and the anatomy were somehow believed to be banned beforehand. I never knew that Da Vinci had so much interest in the human anatomy and what they function of each organ were. Of course, I’ve seen and heard about the Mona Lisa painting, but I’d love to see of the painting that were discussed in this article.

I love how your article of Da Vinci doesn’t delve directly into the Mona Lisa because although it is a masterpiece, I think it clouds the capabilities of Da Vinci. I’m glad you pictured his more as a theoretical engineer than just a painter. I knew that he had interests in the human anatomy, but I didn’t know how he was affected by the body lightening technique. I honestly didn’t know that artist went to watch something like that. I find it interesting.

I found this article really enlightening. I always recognized Leonardo De Vinci for his work, the Mona Lisa as well as the Vitruvian Man. But never did I know that he was so captivated by the anatomy of man or that he had interests in the engineering field. It’s clear to see he was underestimated, and still is, by many.

Great read. This article was very enlightening and even corrected on something I was told to be a fact. I was unaware that De Sepulturis never outlawed the dissection of a human body. I was always under the assumption that he had to do these dissections in private or he could face a possible charge against him. Da Vinci was a man who I believe was ahead of his time and after reading this article I stand with that statement, because his thirst for knowledge along with his creative side allowed for him to learn, record, and create things that we would not re-discover or perfect for years to come after his death.

This was an interesting article to read because I expected the article to have information on how Da Vinci’s famous art works came to be but instead got information that was more of behind the scenes of his studies. Before reading this, I knew that Da Vinci was a trailblazer for anatomical drawings but I did not expect De Sepulturis to be a direct cause for inaccurate drawings.

I knew Da Vinci had interest in working in every field he could. I didn’t know these fields included the human anatomy as well. This is incredible since they hired him as an engineer for the largest church ever to be built. His knowledge was so advance for his time. I like you included his famous works, so that people who aren’t informed of Da Vinci can still feel included by knowing these pieces.

This is a great article that touches base on a number of things but I felt that this could have been much longer and included more information based upon his greater works and inventions. Aside from his art Da Vinci was also known for his inventions such as the Arial Screw which could be considered the first device able to take flight to some degree. I had not realized that he was a military engeneer and that he had enough of an education to give himself a self-recommendation.

This was a great article to read and an obvious pick for me since I love Leonardo Da Vinci. It was great to learn more about the different pursuits that Da Vinci dabbled in and I’m never not amazed at how much Da Vinci did and accomplished, even if he didn’t finish all of his works, as I just learned.

This article opened up my eyes about Da Vinci and how he influenced people with his artwork. I did not realize how he entered the scientific world with his diagrams, but this is very interesting because he isn’t a name that comes to mind when thinking of scientific innovators of anatomy. His fascination with the human body is unique, and should be more recognized by people who are interested in his life, just how this article depicts him as. This gave me a new perspective of historically great artists and how they were influenced and inspired.

Granted I have only heard of Da Vinci in certain books and when learning about art and such, I was never given a deep explanation about who he really was. I never knew that he even, for some time, looked towards the anatomy of the human body. Nor was I aware that he did so many more popular paintings such as “The Last Supper”.
