                       Leonardo da Vinchi. (1452-1519)


      Leonardo da Vinchi is one of the most surprising and  talented  people
who has ever lived on the Earth.  He   reached  an  outstanding  success  in
different spheres of activity. He was a  wonderful   painter,  sculptor  and
architect. He  constructed  bridges,  highways,  different  kinds  of  arms,
elaborated scetches of original costumes and invented  new  instruments.  He
invented  a  “submarine  bell”  which   would  allow  people  to   fall   to
considerable depth for that time. He invented  a  tank  and  flying  devices
which were heavier than the air. It is a pity that many  of  his  inventions
couldn’t be built in those times  because  of  the  lack  of  the  necessary
materials.  Besides,  Leonardo  da   Vinchi   made   some   more   important
discoveries, concerning human Anatomy. He  used  the  same  methods  in  the
questions of art and scientific problems: after the  detailed  analysis  and
studying the question he was interested in,  he  made  preliminary  scetches
which finally helped him to find the key to solve  the  problem.  He  didn’t
mention the great difference between constructing the car and  working  over
some canvaces – he succeeded in any sphere which was interesting for him.
      When Leonardo da Vinchi was twenty years old he  had  already  enjoyed
full rights of  the member  of the Painter’s Society. His  works  influenced
other painters very much, because Leonardo  tried  to  find  somethindg  new
during his creative work. He used a  technique   of  contrasts  between  the
light and the shade.
       One  of  the  most  important  canvaces  and  famous  works  “Tajnaya
Vecherya” was created in Milan. Inspite of that the work became one  of  the
most famous world masterpieces - it is only the result of  this - the  paint
started to peel and that work came to us in a bad  condition.  Leonardo  was
interested in the structure of the human body. He  divided  the  corpses  of
the dead men into pieces to  know  how  the  main  parts  of  the  body  are
connected and how the man is organized.
      Leonardo knew many new things,  which  were  useful  and  interesting:
from how to grow different plants and to look after them.
      The most famous picture in  the  world  “Mona  Lisa”  was  painted  by
Leonardo da Vinchi in Florence.
