Author: Leonardo da Vinci
Publisher: Courier Corporation
ISBN: 0486438627
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
"It is a miracle that any one man should have observed, read, and written down so much in a single lifetime."--Kenneth Clark, art historian and Leonardo da Vinci biographer A perfectionist in his artwork, Leonardo da Vinci studied nature and anatomy to produce amazingly realistic paintings. Using scientific methods in his investigations of the human body--the first ever by an artist--he was able to create remarkably accurate depictions of the "ideal" figure. This exceptional collection of 59 precise, detailed drawings reprints Leonardo's sketches, still considered the finest ever made, of the skeleton; vertebral column; skull; upper and lower extremities; cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems; human embryos; and other subjects. The volume will be a welcome addition to the libraries of artists, illustrators, and scientists. Dover (2004) original publication.

Leonardo Da Vinci
Author: Martin Clayton
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 9781606060209
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Leonardo da Vinci was not only one of the leading artists of the Renaissance, he was also one of the greatest anatomists ever to have lived. He combined, to a unique degree, manual skill in dissection, analytical skill in understanding the structures he uncovered, and artistic skill in recording his results. His extraordinary campaign of dissection, conducted during the winter of 1510-11 and concentrating on the muscles and bones of the human skeleton, was recorded on the pages of a manuscript now in the Print Room of the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. These are arguably the finest anatomical drawings ever made and are extensively annotated in Leonardo's distinctive "mirror-writing", with explanations of the drawings, notes on related anatomical matters, memoranda and so on. This publication reproduces the entire manuscript, and for the first time translates all of Leonardo's copious notes on the page so that the unfolding of his thoughts may readily be followed.

Art and Anatomy in Renaissance Italy
Author: Domenico Laurenza
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588394565
Category : Anatomy, Artistic
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Known as the "century of anatomy," the 16th century in Italy saw an explosion of studies and treatises on the discipline. Medical science advanced at an unprecedented rate, and physicians published on anatomy as never before. Simultaneously, many of the period's most prominent artists--including Leonardo and Michelangelo in Florence, Raphael in Rome, and Rubens working in Italy--turned to the study of anatomy to inform their own drawings and sculptures, some by working directly with anatomists and helping to illustrate their discoveries. The result was a rich corpus of art objects detailing the workings of the human body with an accuracy never before attained. "Art and Anatomy in Renaissance Italy "examines this crossroads between art and science, showing how the attempt to depict bone structure, musculature, and our inner workings--both in drawings and in three dimensions--constituted an important step forward in how the body was represented in art. While already remarkable at the time of their original publication, the anatomical drawings by 16th-century masters have even foreshadowed developments in anatomic studies in modern times.

Leonardo Da Vinci
Author: Stephen Farthing
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781912520091
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) created many of the most beautiful and important drawings in the history of Western art. Many of these were anatomical and became the yardstick for the early study of the human body. From their unique perspectives as artist and scientist, brothers Stephen and Michael Farthing analyse Leonardo's drawings - which are concerned chiefly with the skeletal, cardiovascular, muscular and nervous systems - and discuss the impact they had on both art and medical understanding. Stephen Farthing has created a series of drawings in response to Leonardo, which are reproduced with commentary by Michael, who also provides a useful glossary of medical terminology. Together, they reveal how some of Leonardo's leaps of understanding were nothing short of revolutionary and, despite some misunderstandings, the accuracy of Leonardo's grasp. AUTHORS: Professor Stephen Farthing RA is a painter, teacher and writer on the history of art. Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sussex, Professor Michael Farthing is a distinguished physician and researcher. SELLING POINTS: * A new examination of Leonardo da Vinci's groundbreaking anatomical drawings * Two brothers - a painter and a doctor - discuss the artistic and scientific significance of Leonardo's drawings, which continue to entrance over 500 years after they were made 60 colour images
