He was known to be the best example of a "renaissance man." Today he is best known for his art, including two of the worlds most famous and admired paintings, the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. He was largely self educated. His father apprenticed him when he was about 15 years old to the sculptor and painter Andrea Del Verrocchio. He stayed with Verrocchio until he became an independent master in 1478. In about 1482, he started to paint his first commission work, The Adoration of the Magi, for Florence's San Donato, a scopeto  monastery. However, he never finished the painting. He moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza. They asked him to create a 16-ft tall bronze equestrian statue to honor dynasty founder Francesco Sforza. He worked on it for 12 years and finally in 1493 it was ready. The statue was later destroyed because they had to repurpose the bronze to make cannons. The clay model was destroyed after the ruling of Sforza and duke fell from power in 1499.]]> 2017-08-24 13:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/182561644 kelsey_littrell https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/182565123 Leonardo da Vinci displayed his immense amount of classical knowledge in his paintings. Secular themes became important to his paintings, along with subjects drawn from Greek and Roman history. Da Vinci is known for shifting his focus from nature to human focuses in his paintings, as displayed in his "Vitruvian Man". This shows a great sense of individualism and displays his ways of combining his knowledge of science and art.]]> 2017-08-24 13:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/182565123 kelsey_littrell https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/182565960 The painting "The Last Supper" was created for  the refectory of the city’s Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie.

In The Last Supper, Da Vinci uses Neo Platonism with his geometric forms. This is an element of humanism that derived from aspects of Greek Philosophy and religious theology. ]]> 2017-08-28 03:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183031006 kelsey_littrell https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183032277 The Vitruvian Man is one of Leonardo's greatest works. Da Vinci combined his knowledge of man and science to create this sketch, originally designed to become a sculpture. Da Vinci's perspective on individualism and what man is capable of is greatly depicted in this work. The Vitruvian Man shows how man is the measure of all things, as depicted through his use of geometric shapes, which also came from Greek influences. ]]> 2017-08-28 03:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183032277 kelsey_littrell https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183033007 Leonardo Da Vinci greatly depicted aspects of humanism throughout all his works. Growing up in Florence, the heart of humanism, greatly impacted his work. He displayed the concepts of man and nature in his Vitruvian Man, and he displayed his influence of Greek culture through the geometric art form he took on. He is known as the "renaissance man" greatly because of the acts of humanism displayed in his works. Being a man of science, he combine and philosophical influences in every piece he made. He redefined what man was capable of doing not just for himself, but for the benefit of discovering and rediscovering what humans can do. This defines what humanism meant in the renaissance era.]]> 2017-08-28 03:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183033007 kelsey_littrell https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183033760 2017-08-28 03:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_littrell/mdpzbko44a70/wish/183033760
