Da Vinci, behind The Master by Lilia Korsi 8th A or B Grade____________ WORLD HISTORY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Est. 1869 Wednesday, November 24, 1892 Price 6d Da Vinci, behind The Master by Lilia Korsi The privately commissioned work is characterized by the enigmatic smile of the woman in the half-portrait, which derives from da Vinci’s sfumato technique. FROM PEASANT TO ARTIST Born out of wedlock to respected Florentine notary Ser Piero and a young peasant woman named Caterina, Leonardo da Vinci was raised by his father and his stepmother. At the age of five, he moved to his father’s family estate in nearby Vinci, the Tuscan town from which the surname associated with Leonardo derives, and lived with his uncle and grandparents. NOT THE BEST PAINTER at first Although da Vinci is known for his artistic abilities, fewer than two-dozen paintings attributed to him exist. One reason is that his interests were so varied that he wasn’t a prolific painter. Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous works include the “Vitruvian Man,” “The Last Supper” and the “Mona Lisa.”. In 1503, da Vinci started working on what would become his most well known painting — and arguably the most famous painting in the world —the “Mona Lisa.” Lord of the arts master of beauty, Leonardo da Vinci was the mind behind the Renaissance. He was not only a painter, sculptor, architect, inventor, but also military engineer and draftsman — the epitome of a “Renaissance man.”  With a curious mind and keen intellect, da Vinci studied the laws of science and nature, which greatly informed his work. His ideas and body of work have influenced countless artists and made da Vinci a leading light of the Italian Renaissance.  Arts and Sciences were the same to Leonardo Like many leaders of Renaissance humanism, da Vinci did not see a divide between science and art. He viewed the two as intertwined disciplines rather than separate ones. He believed studying science made him a better artist. . Leonardo da Vinci thought sight was humankind’s most important sense and eyes the most important organ, and he stressed the importance of saper vedere, or “knowing how to see .” He believed in the accumulation of direct knowledge and facts through observation. “A good painter has two chief objects to paint — man and the intention of his soul,” da Vinci wrote. “The former is easy, the latter hard, for it must be expressed by gestures and the movement of the limbs.”
