- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- I'm an artist that brings history back to life by creating famous figures from the past in the modern day, as well as creating facial reconstructions and recreations. Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most famous inventors, painters, sculptors, engineers, scientists...the list goes on. But what did this great man look like? Do we have any portraits of Da Vinci's true face? Let's get into his life and history, as well as reveal my modern-day recreation of his face at the end.

The blue eyes make him seem much more intense - but in a good way. It is definitely my favorite version :)
I agree, more intimidating kind of!
Yes they look more natural.
@@colinp2238 well he had blue eyes!
@@patriziasforza8484 I never met him so I don't know 😕
His eyes may not have been blue...the peasant girl (his biological mother ) was of African descent.
He looks like a mix of Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. In a good way. Intense and artistic. It so mesmerizing to see historical figures as modern day people. You do great work with the little historical resources you have.
I totally agree. I also see Joaquin!!
I don't see Mel but when I first saw the thumbnail, I was like, "That's Joaquin!"
I see a bit of Sean Connery too
My first thought is ... that's Willie Nelson.
I was searching for that account!
the blue eye davinci was amazing! i felt that was true to his like ness
I’m really obsessed with all Leonardo. He was such an incredible person. And this video just made me tear up, thank you for bringing this to us.
He really was a truly remarkable person. I just loved seeing him in this way too.
100% agree
Just the same here
He looks very approachable. Would love to have been able to engage him in conversation over a cup of coffee. I feel less frustrated about the unfinished canvas sitting on my easel, but I can't use the same excuse that he did.
Even geniuses leave work unfinished ❤️
He looks like the cool biker grandpa that you only see on Christmas because your parents never let you stay with him 😂
Haha
Now he’s in the realms
Some historians believe that in the self-portrait Leonardo did of himself, he drew himself looking much older than he was. And some believe that the reason the Mona Lisa resembles him is that it was his interpretation of his mother who he never knew. A Florentine merchant's wife, Lisa del Giocondo, posed for the Mona Lisa. Sigmund Freud even made the suggestion that the Mona Lisa was a memory of Leonardo's mother. Leonardo spent his whole life working on the Mona Lisa, and after four years of working on it, he refused to give the commissioned painting to the Florentine merchant. It was also said that he took more than four years working on the painting, possibly 12 to 16 years or more. He spent his entire life carrying the painting around with him. It was important enough to him that he had it always by his side up until his death.
Very interesting. He made a mother for himself, then, perhaps talking to her and imagining her answers - no wonder he wanted to have the painting with him. Some may find that macabre, but I just think it's touching, if that's indeed how it was. It may have helped him overcoming attachment issues. Shows how important parents and attachment figures are to us.
@@wednesdayschild3627 You're probably thinking of his stepmother. Leonardo never met his biological mother because that was the custom back then. His father was of a higher social ranking, so Leonardo was left with his father. However, because he was considered a bastard, he couldn't inherit his father's line of work, which is why he became a painter. They have only very recently discovered who Leonardo's biological mother was.
His face makes me smile. He's beautiful.
He has that silver Fox look going for him in these pictures. Very handsome, very intelligent and very talented
My art teacher told me when I was 14, that I was the most gifted child artist that she had ever known. My parents refused to allow me to pursue art as a career. I became a nurse. Later in my life, I was diagnosed with ADHD. I have many unfinished projects.
I always say that when ( and if) I reach an afterlife place.. Leonardo Da Vinci will be in my top five list of people that I’ll go looking for…
He gives me a university proffesor vibe. I would love to have a cup of coffee with him and talk😄
I’m obsessed w him, I have a quote of his tattooed across my shoulder as well as traveled to Italy to see the Da Vinci Museum! Honestly, your likeness of him with BLUE eyes looks the most accurate/realistic in my opinion, I love it!
I carry a picture of him with me always. He was a master of creation, the Einstein of his day, and like Einstein, he strove to understand the mind of his creator.
I once heard, that the image of this old da Vinci painting actually shows his grandfather (painted by him).
Thank you for your videos! 🙂
I felt like I could reach out and stroke his face. I do like the blue eyes. Thank you for sharing your talent
Thank you! I think the blue eyes are very intense in a good way
I've watched many of your videos, and you're a fantastic artist. I have to say your artistic rendition of Leonardo doesn't seem to have the exhaustion and sadness that the self-portrait seems to have. I know you show people happy and smiling, but I don't think we would have met that man if we had known him in his own time.
Excellent. I think the eyes could go either way. Most of my family is from just up the road from Vinci (Cintolese) and the eyes can go either way. There's also somewhat odd combinations like blue eyes and jet black hair, as my Nonna had.
Pretty underrated channel! He does look like Joaquin Phoenix if he were to be a wizard. would love to see your depiction of napoleon bonaparte I
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks this recreation looks like Joaquin Phoenix 😁
He was an artist and science enthusiast, also was strong and kept himself in good shape. He looks quite handsome even in his later years, and there's a kindness in his expression. I daresay that Leonardo is one silver fox 😋
Your work is professionally amazing and objective. The research, the sequential scripting, the narration, the videography, the final renderings of your characters. When your videos come to me, I know I am going to learn something new and it always leaves me with a sense of having been educated. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Becca, your interpretation of his sketch looks gorgeous. He must have been a handsome man and honestly, I would loved to have the opportunity to spend some time in his presence. Mesmerizing reconstruction!
Fantastic work, this is great to imagine Leonardo's appearance in the Renaissance time. It is said that he would buy birds in cage in markets to release them and watch them flying away free and also that he was a vegetarian !
Wow! what a very nice looking man he is and yes he does look very approachable you can see there is a kind humor to him :) I like him with the blue eyes very lovely!
Ive watched every one of these videos and I become strangely emotional at every reveal.
I love you.
You bring my favourite historical figures back to life.
My top favourite is Hatchepsut. She is my Queen. Please carry on.
I fell down a youtube hole and found this. This looks very much like the Leonardo de Vinci I've always seen in my head. Well done.You're a beautiful artist.
Your work is incredible. I have to believe Mr. DaVinci himself would be very proud.
I wish his brows had been more downward and lengthy prominent as in his own sketch, and no ear visible, longer beard. I do believe from all images in history I have seen, his eyes were pale. Incredible job Bekka. Marvelous work!!
I will share this! I love da Vinci, but have only seen 3 of his paintings in person, and one other I think is mis-attributed. I'm an artist with ADHD, so go figure I am a fan of the man. On the eyes: he would intentionally skew the eyes of his model, such as in his Ginevra de' Benci, in DC. The reason is that it is an amplification of the presence of the sitter; it amplifies the beauty, at the expense of veracity. Leonardo used license! Years later, Picasso did this to Gertrude Stein (and I have used the visual device because the master's did). So, a realistic portrait would line up the eyes - just a quibble. I am blown away by your work! Bravo!!
Very interesting!! Thank you for sharing
Hey Becca, I'm sure myself and all your audience would love to see Mona Lisa reconstructed as a "real life" woman. As an Artist myself, Leonardo's work, especially his sketches fascinated me ...
I would love to see him and tell him about all of the things that he envisioned that are now possible. That there's actually a surgical machine called a Da Vinci
Such an incredible person. Thanks for bringing him to life. Wonderful job!
Wow, wow, wow whatever you doing don't stop. God bless you! I love it and I believe it. That's him, handsome devil he is. Well done my dear!
The look of him. That guy would see right you, into your soul, tell you things you never knew about yourself.
Thank you for bringing to life probably the greatest genius in human history.
I love your depictions and artistry! It really brings these historic figures to life. Keep up your amazing work! KUDOS!
Great job! Here's one for you: Rumi, the famous Persian poet and philosopher.
He was such a beautiful beautiful man, on every level.
Really fabulous! I kept waiting to see him smile with your rendition.
I personally feel your work is outstanding. It’s a true pleasure to watch your channel.
500 years later and both he and Mozart are yet yet to be matched in their genius, especially Leonardo
I just came across your work. The history and the artistry are brilliant, fascinating and creative. I’m sucked into each video. I even wish they were longer. This is such a great…thing. Frankly, I cannot think of a word that does it Justice. Love this.
To look into the eyes of L.D. was amazing. Thank you.
A photo impression of the shroud of Turin would be very interesting to see.
Much respect for your work, great video.
Becca, I enjoy your documentaries and your artwork so much! They are absolutely captivating. Your skill is excellent and you truly immerse me in the lives of historical people. The recreations look so realistic and so beautiful. Wonderful work!
SO amazing! Thank you so much for what you do. I find it simply amazing.
First, I love the historic context along with the images. I also really enjoy seeing the variations of different ages, old, young, glasses, etc etc. Thanks for bringing history to life.
Drop who you'd like to see next right here!
Oh Id love to see Achilles and Patroclus 😍😍😍😍
jesus and judas 👍
Love this - I have seen this man before somewhere - there's an actor that looks just like this. As for some other faces to do, I believe the reason Leonardo could never part with the Mona Lisa is because the painting resembled his mother so much. It's highly likely he knew her even though he was raised by his father. If you could animate the Mona Lisa and 'back engineer' Leonardo's face and see how well they might look alike, as mother and son, that would be amazing.
Catherine Medici
Thank you!!! This brought tears of joy to my eyes. He was and still is a truly fascinating and beautiful man ❤
He was so interesting!
@@RoyaltyNowStudios , that he was!
All of my life I have been told of his genius. I believe that he wrote things down.
This is a Fantastic video!
Loved it! I'm a big Leonardo
Fan! Thank You for featuring Him!
❤️❤️🎨🖼️🖌️❤️❤️
That was amazing ! I am mesmerized by his mind and all his conceptions and inventions. I would like to see Achille and his most beloved one
Really excited for Vlad the impalers portrait !!
Oh my this is an interesting production!. Salvator Mundi, side profile by Melzi, and Verrocchio's David, all look like the same dude to me!.
I love watching your videos. Leonardo DaVinci is definitely a very intriguing figure from the past. Last year I went to Milan, Leonardo was paid to paint the last super there. Although I was not able to see the last super painting, right across from the church stands his apartment and grape vines that he grew. The vines were extracted from the land and were genetically cloned. Now the apartment garden grows the authentic grapes he grew at the time. There’s also a museum with some of his sketches. It’s definitely worth visiting Milan if you get a chance.
Leonardo was a hottie, who knew. You really do bring these historical figures to life. Thank you so much. How about one of the life and reconstruction of Benjamin Franklin.
You do great work; I am very impressed. It is like I was sitting in a room with DaVinci. How wonderful it would be to have a day long conversation with this man.
There is a Leonardo drama series from the BBC which was shown recently and it starred Aidan Turner (Poldark) as the young da Vinci. Too handsome, I think. But your recreation of a modern-day Leonardo shows some hints of another actor, Joaquin Phoenix, who should play the artist in future films. Well done!
You're a very talented artist! Found your channel recently and am impressed. Your videos are put together so professionally--the music, the camera work, the narration all mesh well. I just saw your recreations of Abraham Lincoln, and I see a likeness between these two men. The lines of suffering on both faces seem to reflect many tragedies and anxieties each endured for years.
Beautiful! I loved the blue eyes!
Interesting. I have been quite fascinated with Da Vinci since I was a young boy.
Oh yeah that's him! I know it is! My soul knows it, I can feel it! Excellent job!
So interesting. So skilled. Really enjoyed this. Thanks and take care.
Nailed it perfectly! Amazing work and artistry.
I’m obsessed with these informative and entertaining videos! Wow!
I’m new to the channel and completely obsessed! Would you consider doing an updated version of this one with a longer deep dive into his history?! You’re an amazing talent and I’m grateful that I found this channel!
Your work is amazing..I paint portraits and you even catch the intensity in his eyes.. Please keep up your work.. Its wonderful !!!!
Your works are really good. Thanks for sharing them with us
I am studying at art high school currently, and we do learn a lot about artists, their life and of course, their art. When we were learning about Da Vinci, he was just so fascinating to me, his personality and his mindset of a genious. I truly admire his works. We did read some texts from his personal diary and it seems that he really liked going to (only male) spa as his notes said something about admiring beautiful young men, and then, I believe, he went home to draw some anatomy, if he didnt draw at the spa already, which I totally believe he would do. Such a deep person full of talent.
I was hoping you'd make him smile for a moment!
You do such interesting work, which I appreciate very much. I love history and especially the characters who populate it. You help bring them to life in my mind... Thanks so much!
Thank you. That was just lovely to see. He was absolutely brilliant. Maybe you could animate one of those some time.
He is so fascinating..you are so talented. Thank you. I would also love to see Richard 3 and his wife Anne. I'm a big war of the Roses fan.
I love this series. The blue eyes seem to work best and you`ve brought him to life to my satisfaction. I`d like to see you do the same to Napolean or Hannibal.
The recreations look so real! Great job!
Green eyes. For sure. ;-) Your work is amazing, Becca!
All your work is fascinating, but this is more so. He looks intense, resembling Sean Connery. I watched a lecture by Walter Isaacson who wrote the biography on Leonardo with information gleaned from his notebooks. The last entry in his notebooks is 'and the soup is getting cold..'
WOW, he was gorgeous.
Very good indeed. I think the blue eyed version is slightly more powerful, but either way, you have done a great job.
I find all of this amazing.i think this is going to become huge in time.your voice and how you speak pulls me in ...and im along for the ride.great work.
Thank you so much, that is so nice of you to say. I hope my passion for the subject matter really comes through!
So far so good fromwhat i can see. Im totally hooked on history. Always have been.You adding some quick info about the person and how you got there is great. Your passion for what you like doing is obvious through your work. Have a great weekend
What amazing work you made to the likeness of this genius!
Been hoping to see this happen my favorite artist coming to life
Amazing study of Leonardo - I think you are right about the Verrocchio statue. I'd like to see a good likeness of Julius Caesar.
From what I've of learned of Julius Caesar, the tusculum portrait is most likely done from life. There's something in that smirk...
Excellent work as always.
Amazing. Also great information about his life.
love it... its been said that Leonardo painted himself in that unfinished piece where The Virgin is on the center holding the child. the guy on the painting if is him, looks out to us......
I just love your videos, I watched all the videos amazing content, anyway I m a history lover, good luck!
I'm obssesed with your channel! I lost count on how many times I've watched the videos! You're an amazing artist!! I would love to see some other artist from the Renaissance or maybe some sultan from the Otoman empire like Fatih or Ahmet!
Thanks so much! I have Suleiman and Hurrem on the Instagram but no video for them yet
love these!
Fantastic work and brief history. To discuss a days events and discoveries over an evening coffee with the man. One could contemplate the escapades and thought process of such a curious individual.
Lol still at ad and already liked it because i love da Vinci and love that you chose this fella!!
Thank you!
I quite enjoy how you are doing these images from history. The first thing that struck me of Your image as it came to colour/light was he looked a lot like Sean Connery
I just want to gaze into his eyes forever.
This is so fun to watch it , i wonder if you ever thought of doing one version of what he looked like from the statue presented at the beginning of the program ?
Your works are amazing!
I love this! So cool to see what these amazing humans would have looked liked great work! Suggestions on who I would love to see Buddha!
Great video and excellent job. I'm a very big fan of Da Vinci and I think the blue eye version it is much more expressive.
Maybe Gian Lorenzo Bernini as a suggestion for future videos.
Thank you!
The history part of these videos is so interesting.
I really, really enjoy your work! Especially as you give your subjects (clients? ;-) ) contemporary hairstyles and clothes. I think that really makes them impressive as it "finalizes" your work. I quite understand that the hairstyle and the clothes are by far not the most difficult part of what you do. Could I suggest a few other subjects for your consideration; Henry VIII when he was young and virile/handsome, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, Qui Shi Huang first emperor of China (there are paintings I think). Perhaps a Pharaoh or two...Ramses the Great or the rebel Pharaoh Akhenaten? I understand that the Pharaohs would be tough, but there are some reasonably good statues of Akhenaten. Thanks for your understanding! I love your work, I know it's time consuming, but I would be delighted to see even more of it!
David
Amazing work
Really interesting! So cool to see what famous figures of the past might have looked like in modern times. My first thought when seeing the modern Leonardo was - wow, he looks just like George Carlin 😆
You have an amazing talent!
