Leonardo Da Vinci Research Paper

197 Words1 Page

Leonardo da Vinci asked a question that was important to the art community: “Why shadows cast by bodies on white walls are blue at sunset?” Leonardo later discovered that shadows reflected colors at different angles. Leonardo stated, “‘The surface of any object receives the color of its object. Just because the sun’s light is red it is causing a shadow of the blue sky giving it the color on the white wall.’” Artists today use this important discovery in their paintings to make them as realistic as possible. This discovery used geometry and science to explain how what type of light the sun puts out at certain times of the day does to objects and their shadows.

    “The US honors 2 people with holidays bearing their names. Martin Luther King Jr, who gave his life combatting the legacy of slavery, and Christopher Columbus, who initiated it in the first place. (Confronting Columbus)”. Christopher Columbus, often known as a brave adventurer, was actually a perpetrator of genocide. Columbus Day should not be celebrated because of the horrendous behavior Columbus showed off, between the atrocities committed against the Natives and the self-absorption Columbus had, shows that he is not in fact a hero, but instead a villain.

  • The Influence Of Light In Art

    2). We found that the preferential location of the light source was synchronized with the beginning of the Early Renaissance era, starting from approximately at 1420 and on through the Cinquecento until the end of the 19th century. Our data shows that from the Renaissance on, Western art history had “its bias” to the left regarding the light source. Paintings for which we found clear initial, but also singular, laterality effects were created by: Simone Martini (1284–1344), Giotto (1266/1267–1337), and Duccio di Buoninsegna (1255/1260–1318/1319). This is very compatible with the notion of art historians that lighting and shadowing effects were identified as a basic and innovative topic of Western art history with the rise of Early Renaissance painters such as Masaccio (1401–1428, Andrea Mantegna (1431–1506) and Andrea del Verrocchio (1435–1488).

  • Mona Lisa Research Paper

    Personally, I do not understand all the praise that the Mona Lisa receives. I understand and appreciate its artistic beauty, but I feel as though there are other works of art that should have more acclaim than da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. I personally enjoy paintings that have multiple subjects in it, like da Vinci’s other famous painting, The Last Supper, or Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. Also, I believe that my slight aversion to the Mona Lisa is that I am not a fan of Renaissance era art, and I tend to lean toward impressionism, surrealism, and other forms of art that have many bright colors. While the Mona Lisa is a beautiful work of art, I just do not understand why it gets so much attention.

Many visual narratives depend on the time period and the context in which they were created. Painters and sculptors aimed to produce pieces that can tell an entire story in one simple glance. Narrative art can feature both history and genre painting. Some artists still exhibit important historical events in their work.
