Mork-Williams 2
Leonardo da Vinci was a prime example of a Renaissance man. He was an artist, writer, scientist, astronomer, inventor, and musician all in one person. His works have influenced many artists over hundreds of years. da Vinci’s scientific studies foreshadowed what we know now, and his ideas were most certainly before his time.
Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452 outside the village of Vinci in Italy near Florence. He was originally christened Lionardo, the illegitimate son of Ser Piero da Vinci and a girl named Caterina, possibly a slave (World Book 46). Only his father raised him until Ser Piero married a woman named Albiera the same year as Leonardo’s birth. Leonardo was taught Geometry, Latin, writing, computing, and reading in school, but he was not very fluent in Latin (Kausal.com).
Le nardo had an incredibly original personality. He was renowned for not finishing his projects, perhaps due to his traits of a perfectionist and procrastinator. Ever the jokester, Leonardo once drew fire-breathing serpents, lizards and newts to give his father a scare. Some historians believe he was a synasthete, meaning he could see music and feel colors (Dummies.com).
d Vinci was arrested for sodomy at age twenty-four for sexual relations with a seventeen-year-old male named Jacopo Saltarelli. The accusation was made anonymously, and it may have been an attempt to just get Leonardo into trouble. The charges were dropped as a result of a lack of witnesses (Amuseyourself.com ;.
da Vinci was known to weave subtle sexual themes into his paintings and drawings. Sometimes he even went so far as to mix the male and female bodies. Many people believe Leonardo was homosexual, especially because he never married or fathered children (Amuseyourself.com ;.

Leonardo was also left-handed. This may not seem like a big deal, but at the time it was punishable by death. Being left-handed was considered a sign of Satan, and the word left means “sinister” in Latin (Amuseyourself.com ;.
Something else that came with a possible death sentence at that time was practicing vegetarianism. The church taught men’s domination of all living things, which included eating animals. Leonardo also fit this profile and could have been convicted of a capital crime for his vegetable-loving lifestyle (Amuseyourself.com ;.
The most famous of Leonardo’s exploits were his paintings. He was one of the first artists to use oil paints, which he enjoyed because of the long drying time. He even had some of his own recipes for his paints (Dummies.com).
he first dated Leonardo da Vinci work was a pen and ink drawing of a valley. It was dated August 5, 1473. However, Leonardo had already assisted Andrea del Verrocchio with his painting “The Baptism of Christ” in 1472-1475 (Kausal.com).
The “Mona Lisa” is arguably da Vinci’s most renowned painting. It was painted in 1503-1506 with oil paints on 20 7/8-inch by 30-inch poplar wood. The smile in this paintings makes it particularly unique for the time. It is now located in the Louvre in Florence, Italy (Monalisamania.com ;.
“The Last Supper” was painted in 1495-1498 for the Duke of Milan. It is very large, 15 by 24 feet. Despite da Vinci’s usual procrastination, this painting was finished in only three years (About: Art History). In this case, however, his oil paints did not have the right effect. “The Last Supper” started to deteriorate almost immediately as a result of his use of oil paints on pitch, gesso, and mastic, rather then the original water-based paints on fresco (Dummies.com). It is now located in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy (About: Art History).

“The Virgin of the Rocks” was painted in 1491-1508. It is oil on a 199 by 122 centimeter canvas. This painting depicts the meeting of Jesus and John the Baptist. It now hangs in the Louvre in Paris, France (Answers.com).
L onardo da Vinci is also known for his scientific studies in physical, life, and anatomical areas. He drew out his inventions such as helicopters, planes, and parachutes. He even designed machine guns, tanks, and moving bridges for war, but because of his peace-loving personality he often designed these with faulty parts. He studied leaves and water, and would dissect bodies, drawing some of the first diagrams of the inside of the human body. da Vinci’s “Vetruvian Man” shows Leonardo’s idea of the perfect body—fitting inside a triangle and a square (World Book 199).
da Vinci did some studies of astronomy as well, recording Earth’s diameter at 7,750 miles, only 176.5 miles off the actual diameter. He was also one of the first to record the idea that the sun was the center of the solar system, not Earth (Dummies.com).
O e of his odder scientific feats was the creation of the first robot, powered by water and weights, made in human form (Dummies.com).
d Vinci spent much of him time writing. He wrote fables, using animals to illustrate greed and jealousy (Dummies.com). Some of Leonardo’s quotes were recorded, such as the following:
“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. …There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see. …Art is never finished, only abandoned.” (Brainyquote.com)
Mork-Williams 5
Leonardo left thousands of pages of writing in journals. Many of these he wrote in mirror writing, which he supposedly used to protect his ideas against theft (Dummies.com).
T continue Leonardo’s artistic talents, he was musically inclined. He played the lyre and lira de braccia. Sometimes he even tried to improve these in his journals (Dummies.com).
L onardo da Vinci passed away on May 2, 1519, in Amboise. The right side of his body had been paralyzed since 1517, and he was not in good health. He was 67 years old when he died. His final resting place is the Chapel of St. Hubert in Amboise (Kausal.com).
Le nardo may have left this world, but his talent, ideas, and discoveries stayed. He dedicated his life to his studies, and it was well spent time. We still admire his paintings in museums around the world, and his inventions have come to life. He was truly a genius.

Dec 26, 2006 11:40 pm - Not gonna be on much anymore
I’m not gonna be on here much, as far as being active in the forums and earning points. I have a life lately,I’m always with my friends or out doing something. Also, I’m in the process of giving my computer a...erm...makeover, it’s been moving rather slowly. I will still login everyday, Ebil and RER both have my account info, so it might be them in my account also. I’ll come back in the future, but I have to much going on to bother much with this. Maybe I’ll have some more eggs later on. (also, I think I will wait until the whole "tits or ban" thing passes over =])

Since I’ve been looking through nub profiles, a lot more people from West Virginia have just joined. I’ve rated around 10 in the past couple days. Damn, I hope the schools here don’t find out about it.

Once these kids mature past the puberty/pre-puberty stage, they will stop making unnecessary sexual comments.

Of course.

Oct 11, 2006 3:57 pm - Please give me your opinion.
Well, I have always gotten letters in the mail asking me to attend various meetings or activities due to my "academic achievements." Now I just received another letter, this time a more local one from Charleston, WV...it’s called "student ambassadors." You get to go to Europe, and go to London, Paris, the coast of Normandy, The Louvre, and a bunch more stuff, all with a group of kids. It lasts for 19 days, sometime in 2007. I have to reserve a spot at the University of Charleston. I am wondering if this sounds like a fake to anyone, or if you think I should go, whatever. I just want some opinions. Thanks.
