In memory of Leonardo Da Vinci
(MCDLII - MDXIX)

Leonardo da vinci was a very well known Renaissance person since his inventions showed
that he was very ahead of his time. For example, the helicopter, Flying machine, submarine,
etc. He was also a painter, sculptor, architect, inventor, military engineer, and draftsman.
Unlike other Renaissance humanism leaders he viewed both art and science together as
important discipline. Since He was a very curious person and liked to figure out things for
himself he studied many subjects like art, music, math, architecture, engineering, botany,
and anatomy. But, he didn’t study mathematics, advanced geometry, and arithmetic until he
was XXX years old. You may know him for his famous works. For example, the Mona Lisa,
The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man, etc. The ‘Mona Lisa’ can be found in the Louvre Museum in
Paris, France to this day. The two painting techniques Leonardo da Vinci is well known for
are Chiaroscuro and Sfumato. His paintings are famous because they demonstrate
perspective, balance, and detail . His artwork influences other artists and students to detect
the principles of geometry to organize space in paintings. Leonardo Da Vinci was born on
IV- XV - MCDLII in a village near florence. He was raised by his father and stepmother.
Then, when he turned V he moved to his father’s estate and lived with his uncle and
grandparents. He began a began a lengthy apprenticeship with the notes artist Andrea del
Verrocchio. He learned a lot of technical skills like metalworking, carpentry, drawing, leather
arts, sculpting, and painting. At the age of XX da Vinci got a membership as a master artist in
Florence’s guild of saint Luke and established his own workshop and collaborated with his
teacher for another V years. Then in MDII and MDIII he worked as a military engineer in
Florence for Cesare Borgia. During the MCDLXXX Da Vinci studied anatomy seriously and
started to dissect human and animal bodies. His drawings of fetus in utero, the heart and
vascular system, sex organs and other bone and muscular structures are one of the first to be
on human record. As you can tell Leonardo Da Vinci was very successful and contributed
greatly to our society we pray that he can finally Rest In Peace.

Andreas Vesalius, Belgian Scientist

Andreas Vesalius, is a Belgian Scientist. He was born the year

of MDXIV. Andreas Vesalius says that he had became an
outstanding scientist. People say that his work changed medicine and
the study of anatomy. Vesalius said he came from a family of doctors
and also pharmacist. Vesalius said that he was always interested in
living, things and especially anatomy. Vesalius also shared that when
he was a young boy, he studied stray dogs and cats. Vesalius had
attended universities in Belgium, France, and in Italy. In the year
MDXXXVII Vesalius had earned his medical degree, specializing in
anatomy. Soon after Vesalius had become a personal doctor for Italian
and spanish royalty. Vesalius said he is a talented observer and also an
independent thinker. He also had the artist skill to draw his
observations. According to Vesalius in his day, physicians
understanding of human anatomy was based on the works of the of
the ancient Greek physician named Galen. Vesalius said he studied
Galen, but he soon broke his tradition. Like Copernicus, he was
determined to observe things for himself. Soon Vesalius had begun
dissecting, or cutting open, dead human bodies.

Andreas Vesalius, Belgian Scientist (continued)

His research showed that Galen’s work had relied on studies of
only animals. And as a result, it had many numerous errors when
applied to humans. Vesalius had made many discoveries about the
human body. For example, Vesalius showed many discoveries. Such as
the human heart has four hollow areas, called chambers. Soon his
wonderful discoveries led him to write his own seven-volume textbook
of anatomy. Vesalius had called his book On the Structure of the
Human Body. The book explained the construction of the body and how
the body actually functions. The book contained prints by many artist
that were based on Vesalius drawings of the body. People say that
Vesalius's book was a MAJOR breakthrough. It changed what people
knew about the human anatomy and how that studied it. It also had
changed physicians’ understanding of medicine. Today this very book
is seen as the world's first medical textbook.
