Paper Summary:
This paper takes a look at the Renaissance period, how it influenced the art world and how this impacted on the work of Leonardo da Vinci. The paper focuses primarily on da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa'. According to the paper, the 'Mona Lisa' is an example of the highly individual, creative, and also scientific mind of the artist during the Renaissance in Italy.
From the Paper:
"Furthermore, Leonardo's interests were also apparently unlimited. In addition to other artists of this period, da Vinci was also influenced by his own ventures into other forms of craft, art, and academic study. In addition to his love of beauty and art, Da Vinci also cultivated an early passion for knowledge and research. As such, his scientific studies included anatomy, optics, hydraulics and engineering, whereas he also spent time as an architect [5]. In his art, his studies in anatomy and optics were particularly useful. Furthermore, Da Vinci's studies in anatomy were culminated in his famous illustration of The Vitruvian man."
