When the Renaissance replaced the Middle Ages in Italy, it dissolved the world views that had been valid until then. Man began to think intensively about himself and placed himself in a central position. If thinking seems self-evident today, in the 15th century it was reserved for only a few. Da Vinci exploited the new way of looking at the world in a unique way and developed into a universal genius. He developed into the man who brought together everything that the Renaissance demanded. Leonardo boldly claimed that the earth was older than the Church. He dreamed of flying and watched the flight of birds. Finally, Leonardo combined his powers of observation with his knowledge and an extraordinary capacity for thought.
Leonardo da Vinci was an artist who represented the Renaissance spirit like no other. As a painter, da Vinci convinces with his plastic elaborations of the human body and the use of a canvas as space. Into the painting of Leonardos thought, seeing and feeling went, abilities, which did not have painters of its time to this extent. Delicate transitions of light and shadow create a view into the depths and lead the viewer through landscapes. The artist skilfully plays with warm and cold colours. The knowledge of the effect of colour and the creation of perspective is evidence of great scientific understanding and the talent to translate this into pictures.
The name da Vinci is closely linked to the portrait of the Mona Lisa, in addition to the sketches on anatomy. Especially the smile of the woman remains in the viewer's memory. The artists of the Renaissance had set themselves a high goal. The painting of the soulful portrait. It should be possible to paint a person who radiates life. Da Vinci succeeded with his Lisa. Scientists are still puzzling over who Lisa was. It is not certain how long Leonardo worked on the work. Some say he travelled with the painting and painted the woman according to his personal ideal of beauty. Perhaps she seems too masculine for modern terms. But the painting enchants the viewer with its smiling lips and expressive eyes.
