Da Vinci wasn’t an artist into science, he was a scientist who liked art but primary he was a scientist

[@lalberodellenocciole5279]

No haha that’s not true he was primarily a party dude. He mind controlled Lodovico il Moro who he first encountered performing for him with his band. Then he got money to organise parties and drink, and from time to time he made a drawing of a “tank” or some other machine to fool Lodovico. Leonardo was mainly into gay sex and partying. This is why most (if not all) of his artworks were unfinished, done poorly on a technical side, rushed or very below the committee’s initial requirement. Don’t get me wrong, this just makes him more of a genius. Leonardo was such a genius that is art is conceptually transcendental. The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting ever and most people haven’t even seen it. Hell the actual painting is a small sad thingy there are way better paintings walking 10 metres away in the museum. Leonardo is famous for taking decades beyond the deadline to work on his commotions only to then present an unfinished subpar or small piece because he probably got bored. I think some of his most interesting drawings (specifically drawings, not paintings) are the unifinished ones. It is possible that Da Vinci would have just been a photographer in our times. His portraits are very photographic hahaha. Read his biography written by Vasari, it’s a wild run!

[@lalberodellenocciole5279]

I want to clarify his talent was incredible. As a teen when he is still collab with his master Verrocchio, his raw skill already allowed him to outclass the old one. And his view of nature and how he incorporates it, truly genius. Also he had an insane intuition, genuinely extremely smart. But really he was so talented that he never perfected anything haha. What is incredible is that people present him as a master of everything. Leonardo was master of nothingn because his raw talent, intelligence, intuition and desire to party rather than work kept him away from perfectionism. Quite the opposite of Michelangelo.

Da Vinci is also regarded as the father of anatomy thanks to his thorough note taking and sketches on human anatomy.

[@connorgrynol9021]

Fun Fact, Da Vinci payed off a mortician friend of his to illegally get his hands on human corpses so that he could dissect them. In his life, he secretly dissected a total of 18 cadavers. One of the reasons people believe his representation of the human body was so good was because he studied anatomy down to even the form of the muscles and bones. Something no other artist, or physician for that matter, did at the time. Nowadays, teaching artists human anatomy is expected in most classes.

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

Yes, "science oriented". Newton was into all sorts of nonsense including alchemy "philosophers stone" occult junk. But Newton managed to formalize observations into three rules. And was one of two people who co-discovered calculus. Of course Archimedes nearly had calculus thousands of years before Newton, but didn't formalize it. We tend to group all discoveries of a day under one "superhero". We did it for Maxwell (leaving out Hevyside), we did it for Einstein (leaving out Hilbert), and we do it for Newton too. Large groups of people worked on all these ideas. Then we have the Edisons and the Musks who really don't know jack squat, but were great self-promoters who liberally stole credit from people we don't know the names of today. And made fortunes doing it. Society doesn't like history, it likes hero's (even when there weren't any, they are fabricated).

Fun fact: you’ll notice that his writing looks weird, but that’s because he decided to teach himself to write backwards so it was easier for him being left-handed. He wanted to see his work easier as he wrote and and was sick of smudging everything I suppose lol. Being Da Vinci, that meant making a practical but unconventional approach to his problem. They were his notes, for his own personal use, so why not?

Davinci was a brilliant man, not becuase he went to school or studied hard, but becuase he looked at the world with an objectionable eye. He was an artist in profession and natural sensibility. His mind was simply different. We should never ostracize people for being different, we should listen to them and try to see the world from there eyes. Maybe then we could all be brilliant.

[@ImpeachObamaASAP2010]

he was a brilliant man because of his IQ he studied the world on his own because at the time there weren't really "schools" and the ones that did exist didn't teach the subjects he was interested in (like human anatomy). you can't teach something in a school that hasn't been discovered yet if he lived today he would have gone to university and simply studied there he wasn't "different" by any sense of the word, he was simply smarter

[@YaGottaBeKidding]

@@AlexandarHullRichter Although Da Vinci may have been the ultimate Renaissance Man, the idea was created by Leon Battista Alberti, born 50 years before Da Vinci, dying when Da Vinci was 20. "A man can do all things if he will." From Renaissance humanism, that man is the center of all things and that he should learn and improve himself. Thus, the intelligentsia of the day sought to improve themselves mentally, morally, intellectually, physically, and artistically, a lesson Da Vinci apparently took to heart.

[@yonidellarocha9714]

​@@YaGottaBeKiddingI always got the impression that Filippo Brunelleschi was the model that a lot of later renaissance men compared themselves to, if I'm not misremembering he lived about 100 years before Alberti and was responsible for the construction of the largest church dome in Firenze, for which he invented new machines and techniques. Inventor, architect, artist, the guy was truly a being from the future in a present that was, for too long, stuck in the past.

Some on this list switched late in life, but stayed on it to the end. Ben Franklin switched at age 16. "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -Einstein (Of course today, he would be vegan. So would the others on this list.) The famous Professor of Physics Brian Greene is vegan. You may have seen him on PBS hosting science shows for the layman.

Brāhmagupta, born in the 7th century, was a prominent scholar in the field of mathematics and astronomy. As the head of the astronomical observatory in Ujjain, Brahmagupta contributed extensively to the understanding of the cosmos, penning the “Brahmasphutasiddhanta,” an exhaustive mathematical and astronomical treatise. Within this influential work, Brāhmagupta postulated that celestial bodies were held in their orbits by an unseen force, which he termed “GURUTVAKARSHAN (गुरुत्वाकर्षणम्)” a Sanskrit term describing the attractive force exerted by mass. This observation, though not as mathematically rigorous as Newton’s later work, marked a crucial milestone in the quest to understand the force that governs the motion of celestial bodies.
