Leonardo da Vinci
This is thought to be a self-portrait by da Vinci.
Leonardo was an artist as well as a scientist and an
inventor.
He studied the world
around him.
He recorded his studies in
carefully illustrated
notebooks.
By studying his notebooks, we can see how
Leonardo used drawing as a
tool to develop his ideas.
500 years ago, Leonardo invented machines that only modern technology has been able
to realize, such as this tank.
During the Renaissance,
artists began to study the
body’s internal structure.
Leonardo used careful
controlled lines to capture the
structure of the human form.
Leonardo’s drawings from 500 years ago are the basis of
today’s scientific
illustrations.

Leonardo’s studies offer a glimpse of the
way he developed his
ideas on paper.
Here we see the final
masterpiece, The Virgin and Child with St. Anne.
Leonardo's horse is a sculpture never
completed by Leonardo da Vinci, which he managed to complete only a
model in clay.
Since the 1970s, two reproductions have been created. This one is in Italy.
This one is in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
