  • Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist and polymath who lived during the high renaissance changed the world in a huge way. He is best known for his painting the Mona Lisa, which is the most famous piece of art in the world. Many believe Leonardo da Vinci - Polymath to be one of the greatest artists and painters ever to live, and this is probably true. But Leonardo da Vinci was so much more than just one of the greatest artists. He was an architect, an astronomer, a botanist, a cartographer, an engineer, a geologist, a hydrodynamicist, a mathematician, a musician, a theatre producer, a scientist, an inventor and much, much more. Leonardo was a pioneer in so many different areas and he truly was a genius.
    Born in 1452, Leonardo da Vinci lived for 67 years, dying in 1519. Most people only think of him in the context of the Mona Lisa, but he gave the world so much more than just one of the world’s greatest paintings. His notebooks are stuffed full of so much amazing information, observations and inventions that we’re still learning from today, over 500 years later. Leonardo daVinci was a polymath in its purest form and embodied everything great about the renaissance. He produced art that was easily comparable and often better than Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello or Botticelli, whilst also being a leading intellectual making discoveries in so many different areas. Leonardo da Vinci was perhaps one of the greatest, most talented people ever to live.
    Many people ask Did Leonardo da Vinci do this or Was Leonardo da Vinci that… well in this video I do my best to answer many of the most popular questions about Leonardo, whilst exploring his life and asking the question How Did Leonardo da Vinci Change the World?

      @@thinkmediadeeper we know a great deal about Leonardo actually. Many people wrote about him. He has a biography and autobiographies. He also kept journals and left codex. The only problem is, those codices, anyone prolific reader knows he didn't create them. He copied them. Then used them to look for work. Which, when employed he couldn't complete the projects he was hired to do. Nevada he didn't know how. He copied them from Mariano Taccalo. Who published two books about machines, canals, water management, parachutes, flying machines, vitruvian man, etc a generation before Leo was born. The only people whom believe Leo a great inventor or genius are people whom do not read.
      But you are correct. Just because Leonardo said he was a vegetarian doesn't mean he actually was. Just newscaster Leo said he was not straight and was in love with Thomas doesn't mean he actually was. But if we can't go by his word and the word of his contemporaries, what do we have left?

      I agree with you whole heartedly. I just had a conversation with a friend of mine who mentioned how “advanced” my 9 year old grandson is. We discussed how my son doesn’t simply rely upon the school to educate my grandson. My grandson spends time with me (his grandfather), his great grandmother, his mom and dad as well as several aunts and uncles and his other grandparents. He is encouraged to explore all sorts of interests and is given plenty of opportunities to learn about things not covered in his school. Also my son keeps an eye on the homework the school assigns as well as checking in on the teachers on a regular basis for insight as to the curriculum being taught. I help him with learning things that are above his grade level so that he isn’t held back by the school having to stick to a certain pace for each subject. For instance my grandson happens to be naturally good at math so I am teaching him math that the school won’t get around to until several grades above the one he is in now. Another subject he has a huge interest in is space and everything that comes with that. So last Christmas I got him a really good telescope as well as a number of books about space and the universe including planets and stars and blackholes etc. My point is that as a family we encourage him and support him as much as we can, we do the same for all of the grandchildren in our family. Some of them are very much into music and play various instruments, a few love art and draw or paint as much as they like. Overall we as a family don’t expect the schools to be able to give each and every child the attention and support they need and deserve. So we do a lot for our children and grandchildren outside of the school setting. Lots of field trips to museums and art festivals as well as spending time outdoors in the forest and streams all over the Pacific Northwest. Next year I’m taking my grandson with me to England for 2 months to spend time with our family that lives there. So he will get to see a lot if things first hand and in person that most children don’t. From roads built by the Romans to cathedrals and some of the greatest museums in the world plus take a ride on a double decker bus lol. We all need to realise that schools just aren’t equipped to give each and every child the individual personalised attention and encouragement that they deserve. Its up to us to do that for our children and grandchildren especially those of us that are retired and have nothing but time on our hands lol

I myself have ran my own business, written 6 screenplay, I paint on canvas, I have several inventions waiting for patents and I also do computer art. I also work on cars and other machinery. Still can't find interest of others as they hate it when I outline my accomplishments. Maybe I should have left Canada.

I'm possible there are people just as inventive as Da Vinci and the others I mentioned but they are likely few and far between, being snuffed out by the world's shitty educational systems and possibly not old enough to really make a difference yet.

      @@alisawari0 true. Today people defines genius as someone who is really good at a topic/thing they are passionate about, but not always how curious they are to learn more about other fields than their preferred one. Leonardo was more of a renaissance hyperintellectual with his way of mastering all the fields he was drawn into and his observance to details that made him think wider and more complex than anyone else in history.

Only people of wealth nobility or royalty high portraits painted of them back then. And you can’t emphasize enough the fact that Leonardo was really the first famous flamboyant artist personality. He really created the whole cult of personality regarding artists who back then of course as you mentioned were considered craftsman. Thank you for the excellent biography.

I'm astonished at how much *was* workable, or would have been with more advanced technology.

      An interesting and instructive video: my only criticism is the overbearing music which threatened to drown the narrative. Also after taking pains to demonstrate Leonardo was left handed the actor was shown writing with his right. Otherwise it was very good.

    I see da Vinci's story as a testament to what happens when we remove barriers to creativity. How many people throughout history were born with gifts of this level, but they were peasants, field workers, or worse - women? How much raw talent was smothered because of humanity's horrendous misogyny and bigotry. Even with da Vinci, imagine if a Medici had not been caught up in his sodomy scandal - da Vinci may have wasted away in prison or been executed.
    Even today, how many da Vincis are wasting their talents in dead-end, low paying jobs, struggling to pay rent while taking care of children or parents? No time to rest, much less quench their insatiable curiosity and creativity. It seemed like da Vinci struggled with ADHD and depression. Now he would be put on pharmaceuticals, numbed into compliance so he could keep grinding away at a purposeless existence.
    The freedom to explore and express this level of creativity is a privilege still afforded only to a few, even today. In a just society, it would be available to everyone. Imagine how much we would all benefit if all the da Vincis in our day-to-day lives were allowed to invent and create to their fullest potential.

      you're right. I don't know if you know the story of Artemisia Gentileschi she was a talented painter around the same time but was rejected by every studio in Florence because she was female. They made a movie about her I don't know if historically accurate or not.

      @D Moll do you really believe this? sorry but I think you're delusional. There are millions of people who still live in systems that negate them even the basic rights and practically live in an imprisoned condition so they can't express their talent. And remember that the history books were written by people and many times those people did write what they wanted depending on their condition sex culture affiliations or what the person they served wanted. In recent years historians have changes their views on so many things they discovered that roman emperors like Catilina and Nero weren't the monsters they were depicted to be in the ancient texts for instance they discovered that ancient Egypt had more than one female pharaon (and how many people do you think know this?) and I could go on and this is because history has been manipulated for millenia. So you can be cancelled from history if someone with power wanted and the same people or oppressive cultures can prevent you from doing anything meaningful in your life.

      Even with the finest schooling you will never see it again Justin.. because the work is done, the low hanging fruit is gone and we learn more in a classroom setting than he did in his entire life. He would spend months puzzling over something we take for granted in knowing. Practicing that deep critical thinking and curiosity for a lifetime is what sets him apart. We simply do not need it and it's why despite our huge population, there will never be another genius of this level while we have access to instant information. What we practice is the opposite of creativity and curiosity... rote memorization of those who have come before us. The geniuses of today are just those who have the capacity to remember the most, and they will ultimately contribute nothing new.

Yes a FOUNDATION has to be layed as we do not want our children to reinvent the wheel over and over.

And it has prompted me to consider my own need to be more curious and observant, and to ask more questions and seek more answers. Indeed, watching this has made my day and will surely fuel my aspirations for some time to come. I will surely return to view it again. And again. Thank you.

    The real character that appears on the painting known as Mona Lisa or La Gioconda is not Lisa Guerrardini but The Duchess Consor Isabella of Aragona and Sforza according to the studies of the German historian Maike Vogt Lüerssen.
    Or it is enough to compare the portraits of isabella with those of La Joconda .
