Abstract
In some ways leonardo da vinci (1452-1519) appears to be very traditional. He worked as an apprentice in a workshop to develop his craft. He studies ancient sources such as Plato and Aristotle and Galen. He conducted experiments to justify his research.
leonardo Da vinci's studies of the human anatomy are a small, but significant fraction of his artistic and scientific experiments. Through observation, literature, and even dissections, leonardo Da vinci created a wide portfolio of studies on the human body. The more closely we examine the system underlying leonardo's study of the body however, the more clearly we recognize its originality. Where earlier authors had relied almost exclusively on verbal descriptions, leonardo emphasizes the significance of visual descriptions. This paper will give an overview of the history of leonardo's anatomical studies, beginning in the workshop of Verrochio. It will then examine how the influences of his life shaped his understand and approach to anatomical studies. It will lastly examine one of leonardo's most famous studies about the human body that emphasized the idea of Renaissance humanism.
