Painter, architect, philosopher, musician, poet, explorer, mathematician, mechanic, geologist, anatomist. Leonardo da Vinci - a Renaissance man. He never obtained a university degree, but despite this, he thoroughly mastered knowledge in many fields, many modern scientists consider him to be an expert. A self-taught person who mastered the art of anatomy. He examined the human body more thoroughly than any other Renaissance scholar. The result of this experiment is a series of eighteen sheets, known as the Anatomical Manuscript A. It contains over 240 extremely transparent drawings with detailed descriptions.
As a great artist, Leonardo had several advantages over modern anatomists. Firstly, as a sculptor, engineer, architect, he had an intuitive understanding of the form of things - when he dissected the body, he could very thoroughly understand how different parts of the body interact with each other and work together. And then, as an extraordinary draftsman, he wrote and drew his discoveries in the drawings so clearly that he conveyed the form and the essence of things in a way that no one had ever been able to do before.
