PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Leonardo da Vinci
BY: FAITH LEMELIN
Leonardo da Vinci:
- was an artist and scientist of the Renaissance Era
- created many famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper
- also created new ideas on perspective with his Vitruvian Man
- left most of his paintings unfinished
- was the "painter and engineer of the duke" in Milan
He created the Mona Lisa, Last Supper, and the Vitruvian Man. The Vitruvian Man fits into his scientific knowledge while the paintings contribute to the list of his famous artwork.
THESIS:
Leonardo da Vinci's works and paintings influenced modern times.
"It has become widely known through countless reproductions and prints, the most important being that produced by Raffello Morghen in 1800. Thus, The Last Supper has become part of humanity's common heritage and remains today one of the world's outstanding paintings" (Shukla).
"Even in the nineteenth century, long after the Battle of Anghiari had disappeared, aspects of its design continued to intrigue artists throughout Europe" (Saari 202).
The last supper
ORIGINAL LAST SUPPER
You can see that this is where the idea of putting the most important person in the center is created because Jesus is the center of all the Apostles.
the Last Supper
PARODIED VERSION OF THE LAST SUPPER
In this parodied version, Luke Skywalker is automatically know to be the most important person because he's in the center, due to the concept by Leonardo.
"Everybody knows Leonardo's drawing. It has become familiar to the point of banality" (Lester).
Vitruvian Man
ORIGINAL DRAWING
This is the original drawing of the Vitruvian Man, made to show the proportions of a human being.
Vitruvian Man
PARODIED VERSION
This is a parodied version that was made to prove the point that in being the "Idea Olympian" you have to have certain characteristics just like the Vitruvian Man shows that humans have certain characteristics and proportions. Basically to show that to being an Olympian means that you have athleticism and to be a human you have proportions.
