Judgments on Science and Art

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (1452—1519) — 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, «Mona Lisa», and a genius of his time, whose discoveries still evoke lively interest, and mysteries and puzzles remain unsolved to this day.

In the book «Judgments on Science and Art», Leonardo da Vinci combines science and art into a single whole, into a kind of universal way of understanding the world. This method allows us to see the world and man in all their diversity at both the sensory and rational levels. An tireless researcher and naturalist, da Vinci left his mark in mechanics and anatomy, chemistry and physics. His findings in these areas, as well as his artistic legacy, formed the basis of his reflections on art, science, and the structure of the world.
