In the month of Leonardo da Vinci's 500th death anniversary, a talk will highlight the philosophy that ties together his work as an artist, architect, inventor and scientist
"We will highlight his incredible work as an artist, architect, inventor and scientist. This is with a view to understand the root of the enigmatic genius of Leonardo da Vinci, referred to as a Renaissance Man, a model of the Renaissance movement," says Rahil Mehta, volunteer, New Acropolis Cultural Organisation.
To further elaborate his point, Mehta cites the example of da Vinci’s iconic drawing, The Vitruvian Man, which brings out the correlations of ideal human body proportions with geometry. The Fibonacci sequence and Golden Ratio expressed amply in nature — from the wings of the dragonfly and petals of the sunflower to the spiral shape of a shell — depicted the proportions of the human figure in the famous artwork. Mehta adds, "The curiosity and imagination of da Vinci drove him to design machines, which could not even be constructed in his times, while his artworks seem to carry much more meaning than just the artistic finesse in their creation."
