Abstract

In the fourteenth century, the era of Medieval governance came to an end. The exploration of ancient Roman and Greek literature and art inspired artists to replicate those glories. By no means a mere reproduction, this advanced the Renaissance by deepening the artists' awareness of the world and their all-encompassing humanistic appreciation of the leading personalities of the day. Among the most influential Renaissance leaders was Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci. The High Renaissance’s Italian polymath Leonardo was an architect, sculptor, theorist, scientist, engineer, draftsman, and painter. Along with his recognition as a famous painter, he also made his name due to his manuscripts, where he made notes and drawings on various subjects, such as paleontology, painting, cartography, botany, astronomy, and anatomy. Leonardo is normally considered as an intellectual individual, who personified the humanist ideal of the Renaissance, and his collective pieces have inspired artists of the later generations. This study analyses Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci and his influence on his way of painting.
