Paper Abstract: Ways his explorations in anatomy affected his painting & art. Paper Introduction: LEONARDO DA VINCI Leonardo da Vinci, who lived from 1452 to 1519, was a great Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, biologist, scientist, poet and musician. He was one of the greatest thinkers of all time, and was far ahead of his contemporaries in many fields. Because he was interested in knowing everything about everything, one of the greatest things that Leonardo has left to posterity is his notebooks, in which Leonardo describes his view of the world and his theories as to why things are the way they are. In these five thousand pages of notes concerning all aspects of thought, such as philosophy, anatomy, astronomy and physics, are notes concerning how to paint artistically (in very precise terms), and also there are notes relating the physical aspects of the human body to the reproduction of the Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
