Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (1452—1519) is a famous Italian artist, musician, scientist, and inventor. One of the titans of the Italian Renaissance, da Vinci is the author of the most famous portrait in the world, the "Mona Lisa," and a genius of his time, whose discoveries still provoke lively interest, and whose mysteries and puzzles remain unsolved to this day.
In the book "Judgments on Science and Art," Leonardo da Vinci unites science and art into a single whole, a kind of universal way of understanding the world. This method enables one to see the world and humanity in all their diversity on both sensory and rational levels. An indefatigable researcher and naturalist, da Vinci left his mark in mechanics and anatomy, chemistry and physics. His contributions in these fields, as well as his artistic legacy, formed the basis of his reflections on art, science, and the structure of the world.
