Born in 1452 in Vinci, Tuscany, Leonardo da Vinci was a Renaissance polymath known for his diverse talents, including painting, sculpture, science, engineering, and a deep curiosity about the world. Leonardo challenged prevailing scientific notions, making groundbreaking contributions to anatomy, including sectional anatomy of limbs and studies of the heart. Leonardo’s art and scientific studies were inseparable; he believed drawing was an extension of creative thought. His architectural vision emphasized spatial sculpture, impacting the architectural practices of his time. Leonardo’s legacy includes innovative designs for machinery, military applications, and transportation. His unique approach to science and art defines him as a true genius of the Renaissance.

I clicked on what I thought was an interesting programme on Da Vinxi – instead I got a crappy advertisement about some crappy brain stuff- for the whole 29 minute!! NOT impressed!
Not bad for a 25 year old doc. Thanks for posting.
A channel dedicated to medieval history should know better than to call it an era of darkness, which needed Da Vinci to bring it out. What absolute nonsense.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this quiz, I see that you put much effort to this video, thanks!
This video beautifully illustrates Leonardo da Vinci's intellect and role in bringing Europe out of the Dark Ages. Art, science, and invention were forever changed by his work. Explore a complex visionary's life and work is inspiring. I appreciate your illumination of da Vinci's genius.🎨🔬✨📜
The Catholic Church kept Leonardo and many others from actually making groundbreaking contributions to anything.
Their ideas and work was suppressed, only to be discovered after being rendered useless for centuries.
It's not universally believed that daVinci was some great genius, and his cult might not have existed before the cult of the Mona Lisa, which didn't exist until its theft (and recovery) in the early 20th century. For instance, beloved historian of and critic of art Waldemar Januszczak roundly trashes the daVinci legend, saying that he only tinkered with ideas as playthings, and never completed them. Waldemar says "The Last Supper" has been a problem for art-conservers since its completion, because daVinci used a very hack technique (despite the proper technique being known at the time) that assured that it would start disintegrating almost immediately.
I see a lot of Comments here disputing the idea that the Dark Ages occurred. Your assertions are tautology and examples of the "moving the goal-post" fallacy. Somewhere I've read that Rome was one of the earliest cities to reach a population of 1,000,000. At a LATER time, Rome's population was 10,000. Against that you can simply say "a decline in population of NINETY-NINE PERCENT for the formerly most-important city in Europe and the Mediterranean world doesn't justify the term 'Dark Ages'". Fernand Braudel wrote that crop-yields in Gaul (today's France) post-Rome were less than 50% of what they were during the Roman Empire. But no matter WHAT measure I might cite to show that the "Dark Ages" occurred, you can simply "move the goalpost" and deny that that measure is one that justifies using the term "Dark Ages". If I find out that after the Empire fell apart literacy declined and became the exclusive province of clergy and the ruling class, or that aqueducts were dismantled to get stone for crude buildings, or that old Roman roads disintegrated into dirty ruts, you need only say "That is true but it doesn't justify the term 'Dark Ages'". Doesn't the fact that Charlemagne never learned to write (except by using a STENCIL to sign his name to documents) mean ANYTHING? If you were arguing in good faith, you'd pick a criterion that WOULD justify the use of the term "Dark Ages" and then show that the ages in question did not meet that criterion. Nobody who objects to the term "Dark Ages" does that. I've never seen a FACT cited to support the assertion that the term "Dark Ages" is unjustified.
Constantly bring up the The Last Supper and especially unending The Mona Lisa leaves me wondering about you Chronicle. I am not an artist but I doubt these are as great as everyone claims they are! To be sure he had abilities.
If you Chronicle make such a mistake as labeling the previous times as Dark Ages then you are not historians!
Sheesh. It was called the "Dark Ages" because the historians that began to study the era during the 1800s didn't have the records and information they had from the Classical Period. Also, the fall of Rome was mistakenly thought of bringing "darkness". Historians don't use the term anymore.
Background music and sound effects made this too irritating to watch 👎🏼
This was fantastic. Thank you for posting the video.
Great Content 🎉
Except is was not the 'Dark Age'… cringe
Lol all I’ve read is the title and ima say now, da Vinci did not get white people out the dark ages the moores did but hey lie however you like I mean that’s this planet right? Lol
There wasn't really a "dark ages" in the way it's portrayed
thx
But he didn't actually invent anything. Not until he 20th century and it's doubtful any used Leonardo as a muse. Simply we've invented things needed by man, then looked back and noticed he documented what was needed by man back then. You cannot link his ideas to reality.
Two minutes in and I'm ending this video. The problem is the background music makes it difficult to hear the speakers. This is a problem on this channel, and I don't understand why you would think it is helpful.
Leonardo sounds like he shares some traits typically associated with Aspergers
Wow this was very interesting! Thank you so much!😊
Imagine what he could have done if he lived today with today’s technology.
DaVinci was also a thief of others' ideas!
