VENICE
(AFP). - A rare exhibition of sketches from Leonardo DA Vinci's diaries went to
demonstrate in Venice on Thursday, as long as a unique insight into the genius
of a resurgence man who spanned art and science.
The exhibition is fewer
roughly the famous paintings or amazing inventions of the famous old master and
more roughly the inner workings of his mind and the constant curiosity he
showed in the planet around him.
"Leonardo DA Vinci: The Universal
Man" runs until December 1 in the canalside Galleria dell'Academia museum
and contains facility from the gallery's own archives, as well as collections
around the planet.
The sketches were made involving 1478 and 1516 and include
the iconic "Vitruvian Man", an anatomical drawing on the proportions of
the creature's body based on the writings of the ancient Roman originator
Vitruvius. "The drawings are displayed in such a way with the intention of
both sides can be seen, which is very rare," the curator of the
exhibition, Annalisa Perissa, told AFP. The examination of Leonardo's concealed
diaries feels like an intimate journey into the creative mind of lobe of
history's generally worthy of note artists. The originator, botanist,
scientist, writer, sculptor, philosopher, engineer, inventor, musician, versifier
and urban planner can be seen jumping from the lone intention to the thing in
multiple sketches and annotations.
His tiny drawings, more or less of them in
charcoal, others engraved, include distorted creature faces, unusual types of
flowers and elaborate geometrical forms.
"Twenty-five of the drawings give
birth to not be displayed since 1980. This is a unique attempt to admire them
all simultaneously," Perissa understood. The creative process of the huge
master can as well be seen in the preparatory sketches intended for his famous
"The Last Supper", which are preserved in special chambers and cannot
be revealed again intended for by smallest amount five years. There are as well
around a dozen sketches intended for "The Battle of Anghiari", a
famous wall painting with the intention of has been lost but is said by more or
less art historians to be preserved hidden behind a wall in Florence's Palazzo
Vecchio. The exhibition is not speaking up into themes, with the essential
section keen to botany as a sort of essential taste of the artist's rich
imagination. Another section is devoted to Leonardo's musings on the likelihood
of building a tank -- centuries sooner than at all such contraption was in fact
used in war. "Because it merely has sketches, you might think this would
be a little worthy of note exhibition," understood Giovanna Damiani, an
endorsed from Venice Museums. "But in statement it goes much supplementary
since it lets us analyze and read the creative process of the performer, the
extraordinary genius of Leonardo," she understood.
