Importance Of Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci: More Than Just an Inventor

“Wisdom is the daughter of experience” (Abbagnano). These are my forever-lasting words that establish the importance of wisdom in a society. In order for a society to reach its full potential, a high state of wisdom must be achieved. Therefore, I stress the prominence of wisdom integrated into a society as it offers substantial payoff to the individuals. Reaching the ultimate platform of wisdom in a society starts with the principle values of the individuals that compose said society. Although this platform may seem unachievable to some there is definitely a method in which I consider plausible. The individuals must value certain aspects of life in order to gain endless wisdom. And this wisdom

The coexistence of nature and everyday life can breed wisdom within the individuals of society. I once said, “understanding nature means understanding the proportion that is found not only in numbers, but also in sounds, weights, times, spaces and any natural power whatever” (Abbagnano). In essence, this quote elaborates on the idea that nature is present in all matters of life and can be very influential. Furthermore, once nature is recognized and utilized in targeting a specific task, then wisdom will evidently follow. “Painting which [I] place above all other arts aims at representing the work of nature to the senses” (Abbagnano). Personally, I feel that painting is much more than just an art it is a way of expression as it extends far beyond the surface of the canvas. As a matter of fact, painting calls for a reaction of appreciation so that, all things considered, nature is the most striking element within the piece. And this is why nature is an underlying theme and love in most of my work while wisdom is the supplementary product of each masterpiece. For example, Virgin of the Rocks is of my many masterpieces that captures the beauty of rock formations behind the angelical scene of the Virgin Mary with her son, Jesus Christ (“Leonardo da Vinci” Britannica). There is a distinct relation between science and nature and this has fueled me to

I have proposed thousands of advancements in science and in exchange have received eons more wisdom. My designs for an underwater apparatus have benefited society immensely and left a huge mark on technology. “My design for an underwater breathing apparatus consists of cane tubes joined by leather, with steel rings to prevent them from being crushed by the water pressure” (“Leonardo da Vinci” British). “The tubes are attached to a face mask and at the other end to a bell-shaped float to keep openings above water.” (“Leonardo da Vinci” British). “Other drawings for diving suits include a coat with a pouch to hold a leather wine skin to store air and a urination bottle so the diver could remain underwater for a long period of time” (“Leonardo da Vinci” British). All of my drawings were made with limited resources and limited knowledge, granted this, despite all odds I imagined the unimaginable. My designs for a parachute ignited wisdom within society and fueled further advancements. “My parachute consists of sealed linen cloth held open by a pyramid of wooden poles, about seven meters long” (“Leonardo da Vinci” British). “In my notebook [I] remark that with such a device anyone can jump from any height without injury” (“Leonardo da Vinci” British). Moreover, the love for science was not the only reason for my inventions, the functionality of society was of utmost
