The Many Inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci

Can you imagine how would the world’s view be without the contribution of Leonardo Da Vinci? His discoveries and invention unlike any were extraordinary. Leonardo is still known as one of the greatest mind that ever set foot on earth. His perspective helped us see work of art with actual contemptuous expression rather than being unrealistic. He was a man of many talents. Apart from being one of the greatest artists, he made contribution in Anatomy, and Invention in the world of engineering. Although his other discoveries and invention were not focused on as much, it changed society in a way that is impossible for one man to achieve. He broke barriers like God on earth. His ideas were unexplainable and unrealistic during his time, but toward the 19th century he inspired many engineers to develop models that were unattainable. Although Leonardo Da Vinci is known for his art work, he made amazing contribution in anatomy and engineering to help him open up his mind.
What is art without a mystery behind it? Leonardo tried to connect with the world through a different perspective “sought a Universal language in painting,” (art). Although Leonardo learned from Verocchio, he quickly surpassed him, (art). Around his time Europe was mainly dominated by religion, so it was a challenge to paint divine figures realistically.

Leonardo believed that brain, heart, and lungs were “motors of the senses and of life,” (Heydenreich). His findings were never published because he believed his idea behind anatomy might give people wrong understanding of anatomy due to the fact that he didn’t consider himself a professional. I believe this shows a true work of a perfectionist because he knew the basic concept of anatomy, but didn’t know enough therefore didn’t publish his findings. Although not mention anywhere I believe his study of anatomy, and how he saw it as mechanical devices led him to study engineering.
