Leonardo
da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist, with world-famous works like The Last
Supper and the Mona Lisa. But his
notebooks, filled with his strange writing, show that his main interests were
in engineering and technology.
If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken
into consideration, it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one
of the greatest geniuses of all time.
Born
in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl, Leonardo was given
only a very basic education. After ten years in the workshop of the artist
Verrocchio, he began to work for himself. The work he did shows an unbelievable
combination of technical skill and very careful observation.
At
the age of thirty, he left his hometown and moved to Milan, where he spent
seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. In fact, his painting was
increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics. During this period, he
painted The Last Supper and developed
his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器).
In
1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science.
He also studied many other animals, comparing their bodies to the human body. From
then on, Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.
A. Before long, he returned to his
painting.
B. Of course, his place in art history
is certain.
C. It also shows his great interest in
technology.
D. The notebooks are full of drawings
for all kinds of inventions.
E. He began to study human bodies and
the movement of the blood.
F. Here he continued to combine his
scientific work with his painting.
G. It was a good chance to make some
money with his new inventions.
