No, Leonardo didn't design, invent or create anything. He was a painter. That's it. Everything he is given credit for he copied from two books published before he was even born.
@@thinkmediadeeper we know a great deal about Leonardo actually. Many people wrote about him. He has a biography and autobiographies. He also kept journals and left codex. The only problem is, those codices, anyone prolific reader knows he didn't create them. He copied them. Then used them to look for work. Which, when employed he couldn't complete the projects he was hired to do. Nevada he didn't know how. He copied them from Mariano Taccalo.

This documentary was captivating and emotional. Leonardo da Vinci may very will be the most talented person ever. A Man hundreds of years ahead of his time.
I agree he was probably the most gifted person ever. It's extremely rare to have someone with such scientific ability, philosophical wisdom while having the heart, hands and soul of an artist. At least he is remembered appropriately.
He was a talented man but the claims of him being a serious inventor are overblown. His designs not only didn't work in his time, because of materials, they wouldn't work now. I mean, he gets an A for thinking them up, but they didn't work.
A talent is a measure of wealth. ( 1 talent of gold) I don't think he was the richest man ever. In fact today we would call him an eccentric, a loony or a barn shed scientist.
Wrong buddy, do more research. NASA actually uses some of his designs today. Not to mention many of his Architectural inventions indeed were used during his time

If anything, this shows how a child should be encouraged to pursue interests and areas of curiosity rather than discouraged because you want them to do something else. I think he is so famous today because maybe all the ideas weren't his own originally but he developed and most importantly documented them.
I agree with you whole heartedly. I just had a conversation with a friend of mine who mentioned how “advanced” my 9 year old grandson is. We discussed how my son doesn’t simply rely upon the school to educate my grandson. My grandson spends time with me (his grandfather), his great grandmother, his mom and dad as well as several aunts and uncles and his other grandparents. He is encouraged to explore all sorts of interests and is given plenty of opportunities to learn about things not covered in his school. Also my son keeps an eye on the homework the school assigns as well as checking in on the teachers on a regular basis for insight as to the curriculum being taught. I help him with learning things that are above his grade level so that he isn’t held back by the school having to stick to a certain pace for each subject. For instance my grandson happens to be naturally good at math so I am teaching him math that the school won’t get around to until several grades above the one he is in now. Another subject he has a huge interest in is space and everything that comes with that. So last Christmas I got him a really good telescope as well as a number of books about space and the universe including planets and stars and blackholes etc. My point is that as a family we encourage him and support him as much as we can, we do the same for all of the grandchildren in our family. Some of them are very much into music and play various instruments, a few love art and draw or paint as much as they like. Overall we as a family don’t expect the schools to be able to give each and every child the attention and support they need and deserve. So we do a lot for our children and grandchildren outside of the school setting. Lots of field trips to museums and art festivals as well as spending time outdoors in the forest and streams all over the Pacific Northwest. Next year I’m taking my grandson with me to England for 2 months to spend time with our family that lives there. So he will get to see a lot if things first hand and in person that most children don’t. From roads built by the Romans to cathedrals and some of the greatest museums in the world plus take a ride on a double decker bus lol. We all need to realise that schools just aren’t equipped to give each and every child the individual personalised attention and encouragement that they deserve. Its up to us to do that for our children and grandchildren especially those of us that are retired and have nothing but time on our hands lol
@@prepperjonpnw6482 the way you talk about it tells everything! the kids are the future, and i believe if you give them the right tools they can really just go on their own and learn to. school today is very toxic and limited. it takes away your creative part. in school i was bored to death and yeah i had this feeling like somebody wanted to choke me with boredom. its like i cant force anything myself, sometimes i just read about something and think about it. and 1 week later it comes all by itself. i think its better for kids to explore and fail. but these days failing is a bad thing. and thats why i really dont like the schools, its feels so forced and they dont let you do anything other than the material they give you wich is sad. takes away the exploring-creative parts. you should get Sciencia mathermatics, physics, chemistry biology, and the astronomy for all - designa technical secrets of the traditional visual arts - Trivium the classical liberal arts of grammar, logic & rhetoric . you should really look into them and buy them, if the material in them is to advanced you can still just search up stuff in the book wich is less advanced
He was so ahead of his time, imagine if he was able to hang out with Nikola Tesla, what a team they would make, the things they could invent between them. Two under-utilized geniuses. Great documentary. I hope your channel grows. Cant wait for another "person who changed the world" episode.
Most of Tesla patents were already invented before him. Only thing that made him famous is that he was American and America dominated the world’s culture. He was not the inventor of Alternating current. He was wrong at many places. He never believed in electron. He assumed that earth has no electric resistance. His physics was wrong at many instances and at times he believed in supernatural nonsenses
While Leonardo da Vinci is best known as an artist, his work as a scientist and an inventor make him a true Renaissance man. He serves as a role model applying the scientific method to every aspect of life, including art and music.
This may very well be the best thing I have ever watched on UA-cam. Thank you so much for creating it and sharing it with us. Imagine what kind of a world we would live in if we didn't have to spend 400- or 500-years re-learning everything this man came up with.
TRUST ME, you're going to LOVE this glorious 5-hour gem called "Life of Leonardo" ...feels like time travel as it seems they spared no expense making it realistic. ua-cam.com/video/dJ-R2c73KwU/v-deo.html
And may I wish you happy viewing. I hope you cherish it as much as I do. I saw it all in class and then checked it out of the high school library a couple times to watch it all the way through again at home. Finding it here on UA-cam was a magical gift. I have since downloaded it as well. Have fun.
@@alisawari0 true. Today people defines genius as someone who is really good at a topic/thing they are passionate about, but not always how curious they are to learn more about other fields than their preferred one. Leonardo was more of a renaissance hyperintellectual with his way of mastering all the fields he was drawn into and his observance to details that made him think wider and more complex than anyone else in history.
Can't really say he's master of none when if you rank the most expensive paintings of all time, his work will probably occupy the 1 to 10 spot (that is if anyone is foolish enough to sell one of his paintings)
@@OmegaPointZenyeah probably, but that’s what makes Italian renaissance so special in my opinion. Florence encouraging its people to pursue these kinds of things was an important factor here. I wish we had the same spirit today in our current society

Two of the reasons that the Mona Lisa was a striking painting even back then was that it was a portrait painted outdoors. And that it was “an unknown” woman of no distinction. Only people of wealth nobility or royalty high portraits painted of them back then. And you can’t emphasize enough the fact that Leonardo was really the first famous flamboyant artist personality. He really created the whole cult of personality regarding artists who back then of course as you mentioned were considered craftsman. Thank you for the excellent biography.
Actually he is same as rest of the world probably, but trained his brains 🧠 to the maximum, took himself to the moon just to be able to keep his head above the water. That’s my honest opinion
i know his paintings are beautiful, but can i be the first to say: his sketches are absolutely breathtaking. the level of detail is staggering. especially on anatomy, and fluid dynamics. no wonder it took him years to produce a single painting; dude was sketching, studying, and writing, like an absolute mad lad. 369 i.q (i.q is bullshit.) also, can i get the soundtrack for this video?
Nothing close to learning about Da Vinci than through Leonardo himself. I had no idea until recently that he wrote down his thoughts on art and life in his codexes. He inspired me so much that I actually made an online Leonardo da Vinci Masterclass. He'll always be an Immortal Mentor to me.
Wow, i'm speechless! Leonardo da Vinci, he's as close to being super human, as any human could well be. A truly, truly impressive, talented, intelligent & hardworking human being. Thank you, Leonardo da Vinci, for your time on this earth & for your many talents & gifts. May you RIP. To all reading my message, please never give up on your dreams and personal aspirations. Just believe in yourself and be your own biggest influencer. We may not be the great Leonardo da Vinci, BUT, we all possess a talent or two and if we put our minds into all we want & we turn our thoughts into something very practical, we CAN make things happen. Never give up on yourself and always give things a try, for if you try not, you'll never know what might have been. Don't allow the years to pass by doing nothing, then carrying great regret afterward, for regret, it's a sheer waste of your time. Thank you for sharing this video & my best wishes sent to all.
The man that impresses me the most the talent he was blessed with is fascinating the diversity and excellence of his work and studies is almost incomprehensible knowing he did this during the renaissance
I hated the way this guy went out of his way to pronounce Leonardo's name with an italian accent, when every other thing he said was in a typical english accent. F*cking annoying.
This is the most incredible, informative and most well put together video I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this, it's BETTER than what I was looking for.
Can we talk about that this channel has only 6k subscribers. And this video is not only it’s first but is more informative and high quality than most of this kind. Respect!
This is such a beautifully made video. I teared up so many times, since I love Leonardo so much, he was such an incredible person. This video deserves so much more attention, it’s very clear and straight to the point and would be nice to watch for someone that has no clue about what he did. Ahh I’m still just once again thinking of the genius this man was. He’s the true definition of a polymath.
An interesting and instructive video: my only criticism is the overbearing music which threatened to drown the narrative. Also after taking pains to demonstrate Leonardo was left handed the actor was shown writing with his right. Otherwise it was very good.
This was great!. Your way of telling stories is so captivating & unique. Wanted to check out more videos from your channel but realized this was the only one. Please continue to do more if possible
I've read a bit about da Vinci, but had absolutely no idea he pioneered so much in so many different fields. People tend to downplay the notebooks, saying a lot of his technical ideas were interesting but inaccurate or not workable in practice. I'm astonished at how much *was* workable, or would have been with more advanced technology. The advanced anatomical stuff, the map-drawing, the study of flight, the architectural visions, and on and on...the mind boggles.
I listened to the entire documentary in the background. I learned stuff I never knew before. ESPECIALLY about the Mona Lisa. Great production! Great video!
Leonardo da Vinci >>> Just hearing his melodious name inspires Elegance & Refinement in the Science & Arts! Thank You So Much for this Well Researched & Presented Biography! 🌷🌿🌍💖🇮🇹
Amazing. I’m honored to be born exactly 538 years after Machiavelli’s birth and exactly 1 day and 488 years after da Vinci’s death. These two are making me want to learn Italian!
One of the best documentary of Leonardo Da Vinci 🙏🏻❤️❤️Research ,editing, bgm ,voice everything is just amazing. I was forget my existence while watching this video. Outstanding work sir 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

See now that’s so beautiful how his uncle saw how his mind couldn’t stay on focus so he sent him out to attract attention by other things and helped his creative process mindset with that of more, not staying trapped inside and boxed in. This is how so many more could be able to explore so much more. Just that one seeing them in a better light and more they can be, not limited to what others think that we all should be. Thank you for this video and encouragement of more in my own ways of becoming able to express myself in ways I’ve never heard or been guided.
Leonardo was a typical creative person - many of his projects remained unfinished, abandoned when he reached a point where he lost interest. The creative process being more important than the end result.
Like my albums ouch.When I heard he had a hard time focusing as a child I thought damn he had ADHD.Now rebranded as VAST..Variable attention span trait..more apt because we can hyperfocus if we are interested .but if bored can't finish a sentence.
He was ADHD to a tea. One of his manuscripts was on the verge of a monumental mathematics breakthrough. Acknowledged and wrote too bad my tea is getting cold. ADHD asss fuuuuuuck
@@geraldfriend256 all these stupid labels for people who don't fit exactly into the mould...it irritates me so much. Almost everything is a spectrum. Including focus and interest. Stop labelling us with stupid acronyms. (this is a general rant, not directed at you by the way)
I'm left handed and in my formative school years I wrote in mirror form and right to left. I did it because it was natural and only started writing left to write through teachers influence. I can still write both ways and I guess it was the same for Leonardo - the natural way and the trained way.
Great docu! Leonardo was also living in a very hard and somewhat cruel society. He certainly suffered from that as a man . A force of Nature in all aspects: mentally, intellectually and certainly physiologically.
A brilliant, though underrated video. The wonderful combination of beautiful storytelling and classical music, perfect for relaxing, driving or doing some daily routine. Thank you for putting out such a great content. You deserve a sub. Good luck on your future videos. :)
Great video, thank you for enlighting us. I honestly didn't know all these about Leonardo da Vinci. I think he didn't know himself how much of a genius he was and how valuable his work was.
Thank you for this engaging, informing and inspiring insight into the brilliant man - and mind - that was Leonardo da Vinci. It succinct yet comprehensive. And it has prompted me to consider my own need to be more curious and observant, and to ask more questions and seek more answers. Indeed, watching this has made my day and will surely fuel my aspirations for some time to come. I will surely return to view it again. And again. Thank you.
I have never finished a video without losing a single second of interest. I'm so grateful to live in the same world as all of these great minds like Leonardo, Sir Issac Newton, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and many more. Thank you for the this amazing video.
Leonardo was so lucky for having a supportive parents. Agreed on what he want to do and what he likes to do. Maybe im already a good artist and had an art studio if my parents was supportive as his parents.
You are right in thinking so. This was only one of his lives. He lived and died for the last 2000 years, starting with being the Man from Galilee to his last role on this planet as the Judge of mankind in our time.
I am going to Florence and Milan for the first time in October and I cannot wait to see his works. I saw the Mona Lisa last year. Breathtaking. Amazing man.
Hi! I want to let you know that this is an amazing analysis on Leonardo and I love how you took extra minutes to elaborate on the key periods. Hope more videos are in the works :)
kind of spoiler alert ... the fact that he bought birds at the markets and set them free and that he recognized that all animals have feelings exactly the same as we humans do makes me love him! (edit to add: I think the reason he didn't have a conflict to design weapons is because unlike other animals, humans aren't blameless and he probably was trying to help those who needed it to defend themselves) ... Thanks for this amazing video! I learned a lot. 💙
I see da Vinci's story as a testament to what happens when we remove barriers to creativity. How many people throughout history were born with gifts of this level, but they were peasants, field workers, or worse - women? How much raw talent was smothered because of humanity's horrendous misogyny and bigotry. Even with da Vinci, imagine if a Medici had not been caught up in his sodomy scandal - da Vinci may have wasted away in prison or been executed. Even today, how many da Vincis are wasting their talents in dead-end, low paying jobs, struggling to pay rent while taking care of children or parents? No time to rest, much less quench their insatiable curiosity and creativity. It seemed like da Vinci struggled with ADHD and depression. Now he would be put on pharmaceuticals, numbed into compliance so he could keep grinding away at a purposeless existence. The freedom to explore and express this level of creativity is a privilege still afforded only to a few, even today. In a just society, it would be available to everyone. Imagine how much we would all benefit if all the da Vincis in our day-to-day lives were allowed to invent and create to their fullest potential.
you're right. I don't know if you know the story of Artemisia Gentileschi she was a talented painter around the same time but was rejected by every studio in Florence because she was female. They made a movie about her I don't know if historically accurate or not.
@D Moll do you really believe this? sorry but I think you're delusional. There are millions of people who still live in systems that negate them even the basic rights and practically live in an imprisoned condition so they can't express their talent. And remember that the history books were written by people and many times those people did write what they wanted depending on their condition sex culture affiliations or what the person they served wanted. In recent years historians have changes their views on so many things they discovered that roman emperors like Catilina and Nero weren't the monsters they were depicted to be in the ancient texts for instance they discovered that ancient Egypt had more than one female pharaon (and how many people do you think know this?) and I could go on and this is because history has been manipulated for millenia. So you can be cancelled from history if someone with power wanted and the same people or oppressive cultures can prevent you from doing anything meaningful in your life.
Even with the finest schooling you will never see it again Justin.. because the work is done, the low hanging fruit is gone and we learn more in a classroom setting than he did in his entire life. He would spend months puzzling over something we take for granted in knowing. Practicing that deep critical thinking and curiosity for a lifetime is what sets him apart. We simply do not need it and it's why despite our huge population, there will never be another genius of this level while we have access to instant information. What we practice is the opposite of creativity and curiosity... rote memorization of those who have come before us. The geniuses of today are just those who have the capacity to remember the most, and they will ultimately contribute nothing new.
@D Moll Complete and utter nonsense. The oppression of religion and the rich/powerful are still felt today holding back many especially in the global south which is plundered by the global north mercielessly.
@@mikebaugus4859 Wrong. Critial thinking and open mindednes are crucial to science and GOOD schools/teachers make sure that their students learn this. Yes a FOUNDATION has to be layed as we do not want our children to reinvent the wheel over and over. Geniuses will continue to contribute to society just like the average person which are the foundation of any society, your garbage collectors, sewage workers, farmers, nurses, teachers, etc.
If you like art you might also like the art of Joe Brockerhoff. After a series of persian poetry I've started with a series of paintings of him to be presented fortnightly on my page. The first one is already online. Let me know if you liked it. 🥂
There’s like 20 people on Earth that people say are genius but in reality a real genius only comes every few generations... no one in the business, academic, political, or social spheres of our world RIGHT now hold a candle to my boy Da Vinci

I help him with learning things that are above his grade level so that he isn’t held back by the school having to stick to a certain pace for each subject. For instance my grandson happens to be naturally good at math so I am teaching him math that the school won’t get around to until several grades above the one he is in now. Another subject he has a huge interest in is space and everything that comes with that. So last Christmas I got him a really good telescope as well as a number of books about space and the universe including planets and stars and blackholes etc. My point is that as a family we encourage him and support him as much as we can, we do the same for all of the grandchildren in our family. Some of them are very much into music and play various instruments, a few love art and draw or paint as much as they like. Overall we as a family don’t expect the schools to be able to give each and every child the attention and support they need and deserve. So we do a lot for our children and grandchildren outside of the school setting. Lots of field trips to museums and art festivals as well as spending time outdoors in the forest and streams all over the Pacific Northwest. Next year I’m taking my grandson with me to England for 2 months to spend time with our family that lives there. So he will get to see a lot if things first hand and in person that most children don’t. From roads built by the Romans to cathedrals and some of the greatest museums in the world plus take a ride on a double decker bus lol. We all need to realise that schools just aren’t equipped to give each and every child the individual personalised attention and encouragement that they deserve. Its up to us to do that for our children and grandchildren especially those of us that are retired and have nothing but time on our hands lol
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is older, he will not depart from it.
@@prepperjonpnw6482 the way you talk about it tells everything! the kids are the future, and i believe if you give them the right tools they can really just go on their own and learn to. school today is very toxic and limited. it takes away your creative part. in school i was bored to death and yeah i had this feeling like somebody wanted to choke me with boredom. its like i cant force anything myself, sometimes i just read about something and think about it. and 1 week later it comes all by itself. i think its better for kids to explore and fail. but these days failing is a bad thing. and thats why i really dont like the schools, its feels so forced and they dont let you do anything other than the material they give you wich is sad. takes away the exploring-creative parts. you should get Sciencia mathermatics, physics, chemistry biology, and the astronomy for all - designa technical secrets of the traditional visual arts - Trivium the classical liberal arts of grammar, logic & rhetoric . you should really look into them and buy them, if the material in them is to advanced you can still just search up stuff in the book wich is less advanced
Yes
The Renaissance seems like such a great time to live in. Imagine having all these geniuses living during this time
no hot water in the winter, no ac in the summer, no lights, no tv, no internet, no meds such a great time
During this time we have talented ones as well. May be they just hiding, because usually these kinda pple not into been displayed
Now is 1000x better than renaissance
Leonardo was the renaissance
@@МишаХопин because them modern talented people pursue what they love, not seek attention.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch, thankyou so much for making this. Leonardo is one of my favourite historical subjects to study.
He was so ahead of his time, imagine if he was able to hang out with Nikola Tesla, what a team they would make, the things they could invent between them. Two under-utilized geniuses. Great documentary. I hope your channel grows. Cant wait for another "person who changed the world" episode.
Probably would clash..... ego's etc
@@LEE_MILLARD Agreed
Most of Tesla patents were already invented before him. Only thing that made him famous is that he was American and America dominated the world’s culture. He was not the inventor of Alternating current. He was wrong at many places. He never believed in electron. He assumed that earth has no electric resistance. His physics was wrong at many instances and at times he believed in supernatural nonsenses
@@LEE_MILLARD I think that they would have more sense than to let their egos get in the way of their collaboration.
@Real Aiglon y don't you go n takecare of your psychological disorder first....😆😆😆
While Leonardo da Vinci is best known as an artist, his work as a scientist and an inventor make him a true Renaissance man. He serves as a role model applying the scientific method to every aspect of life, including art and music.
Why?
@@The_Space_Bornask yourself
How in the hell he had time to do all that in a lifetime is amazing,we need more people like that.
He wasn’t spending 12 hours a day looking at his social media feed.
Worth noting that he had no wife and kids
No TV allows one to do many things.
@@ravenwolf303that wasn’t his purpose
Cant, we gotta pay tax
This may very well be the best thing I have ever watched on UA-cam. Thank you so much for creating it and sharing it with us.
Imagine what kind of a world we would live in if we didn't have to spend 400- or 500-years re-learning everything this man came up with.
It's amazing.
Leonardo was a genius amongst geniuses.
Leonardo was surely a genius ahead of his time.
TRUST ME, you're going to LOVE this glorious 5-hour gem called "Life of Leonardo" ...feels like time travel as it seems they spared no expense making it realistic.

And may I wish you happy viewing. I hope you cherish it as much as I do.
I saw it all in class and then checked it out of the high school library a couple times to watch it all the way through again at home.
Finding it here on UA-cam was a magical gift. I have since downloaded it as well.
Have fun.
Leonardo Da Vinci was a real Genius!
i would say he was beyond genius, today the word "genius" defines a footballer or an actor. this guy was all what a man could ever be and do.
@@alisawari0 true. Today people defines genius as someone who is really good at a topic/thing they are passionate about, but not always how curious they are to learn more about other fields than their preferred one. Leonardo was more of a renaissance hyperintellectual with his way of mastering all the fields he was drawn into and his observance to details that made him think wider and more complex than anyone else in history.
Enlightened
Mk Visuals. You're Right... After 100ds of Years. There is NO ONE. Like him.. Heaven Doesn't make a GENIUS like him ANYMORE..🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 💔💔💔💔
First come and see the ancient indian temples... they are the master piece of human race,, The ancient indians are super humans,
He use to go to the flea market on Sunday to buy birds and release them later in the forest. He was a double genius in the Arts and Science.
He is the best example of the phrase "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"
Never heard that one
@@akschmidt2085 I love that saying it hits on so many different levels
You are absolutely right!!!
Leonardo was a master at the art of painting in oils.
Can't really say he's master of none when if you rank the most expensive paintings of all time, his work will probably occupy the 1 to 10 spot (that is if anyone is foolish enough to sell one of his paintings)
Imagine how advanced and improved the world would be today if people were able to persue their natural curiosity like they could in the Renaissance.
Sadly children are being told that the only way is to go to college or university which deteriorates authenticity
I suspect that it was only a small amount of the population who were free to pursue anything.
@@OmegaPointZenyeah probably, but that’s what makes Italian renaissance so special in my opinion. Florence encouraging its people to pursue these kinds of things was an important factor here. I wish we had the same spirit today in our current society

Today I visited his museum in Milan, but I found this video about his extraordinary life even more inspiring, thank you so much ! 👏👏👏
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for watching!
This was an amazing documentary! One of the best summaries of Leonardo da Vinci’s life and talents that I’ve seen.
It's crazy how one man had knowledge in so many different subjects.
Not knowledge...brilliance.
He was one of the best and greatest geniuses who ever existed.
He didint know much about painting?
He was a professional musician, Architect, Engineer, painter and fotoreposter he was more but I'm lazy to tell
Two of the reasons that the Mona Lisa was a striking painting even back then was that it was a portrait painted outdoors. And that it was “an unknown” woman of no distinction. Only people of wealth nobility or royalty high portraits painted of them back then. And you can’t emphasize enough the fact that Leonardo was really the first famous flamboyant artist personality. He really created the whole cult of personality regarding artists who back then of course as you mentioned were considered craftsman. Thank you for the excellent biography.
As he said, "I awoke only to find that the rest of the world is still asleep."
This represent his advanced great mind during his time.
Actually he is same as rest of the world probably, but trained his brains 🧠 to the maximum, took himself to the moon just to be able to keep his head above the water. That’s my honest opinion
I like that
I always disliked "ahead of its time" ans this fits much better ... it's like he's on its time and the rest is behind
@@МишаХопинwith how you type, you'd for sure love the anime and manga Dr.stone.

@@dickmcwood sorry I don't get it :/
english isn't my native language
i know his paintings are beautiful, but can i be the first to say: his sketches are absolutely breathtaking. the level of detail is staggering. especially on anatomy, and fluid dynamics. no wonder it took him years to produce a single painting; dude was sketching, studying, and writing, like an absolute mad lad. 369 i.q (i.q is bullshit.)
also, can i get the soundtrack for this video?
Yeah, Absolutely! The Anatomy Sketches Were At A Whole Another Level! He Did Drawings That Were Similar To A GPS Today! He Wasn't Motivated By Money.
Hey, Did u ever got the soundtrack of the video?
@@EspressoRPM no
@@strider_hiryu850 thanks 👍🏾
@@EspressoRPM sorry 'bout that
Nothing close to learning about Da Vinci than through Leonardo himself. I had no idea until recently that he wrote down his thoughts on art and life in his codexes. He inspired me so much that I actually made an online Leonardo da Vinci Masterclass. He'll always be an Immortal Mentor to me.
where could i read what he wrote?
Me too
This man was enlightened through nature for sure!!
Wow, i'm speechless! Leonardo da Vinci, he's as close to being super human, as any human could well be. A truly, truly impressive, talented, intelligent & hardworking human being. Thank you, Leonardo da Vinci, for your time on this earth & for your many talents & gifts. May you RIP. To all reading my message, please never give up on your dreams and personal aspirations. Just believe in yourself and be your own biggest influencer. We may not be the great Leonardo da Vinci, BUT, we all possess a talent or two and if we put our minds into all we want & we turn our thoughts into something very practical, we CAN make things happen. Never give up on yourself and always give things a try, for if you try not, you'll never know what might have been. Don't allow the years to pass by doing nothing, then carrying great regret afterward, for regret, it's a sheer waste of your time. Thank you for sharing this video & my best wishes sent to all.

@@The_Space_Born They had them back in the Italian Renaissance day? I'm mortified!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I guess you mean he was a little light in the loafers!😛😛🤓
The man that impresses me the most the talent he was blessed with is fascinating the diversity and excellence of his work and studies is almost incomprehensible knowing he did this during the renaissance
leonardo da vinci is one of the most brilliant people to have ever lived. this documentary perfectly summarized his life, works and ideas. wow
Leonardo DaVinci is in fact the most brilliant, and perhaps the most perfect, person that has ever lived.
I don’t think Leonardo Da Vinci could manage to watch his own documentary without taking breaks in the process
Particularly with that anachronistic soundtrack looping way too often.
LOL true
lol nice trick to make people like this comment since most of the viewer's are distracted by the comment section hahaha sneaky move XD
I hated the way this guy went out of his way to pronounce Leonardo's name with an italian accent, when every other thing he said was in a typical english accent. F*cking annoying.
This documentary is gold and inspirational specially for the students in all fields, thank u so much man
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

This video is the best tribute to Leonardo that I've seen. Wonderfully and expertly presented.
This is such a beautifully made video. I teared up so many times, since I love Leonardo so much, he was such an incredible person. This video deserves so much more attention, it’s very clear and straight to the point and would be nice to watch for someone that has no clue about what he did. Ahh I’m still just once again thinking of the genius this man was. He’s the true definition of a polymath.
Well that is very kind of you to say. I'm so happy you, and so many others are enjoying the video.
@@PeopleWhoChangedtheWorld no problem this was amazing 🙏🏻💗
An interesting and instructive video: my only criticism is the overbearing music which threatened to drown the narrative. Also after taking pains to demonstrate Leonardo was left handed the actor was shown writing with his right. Otherwise it was very good.
@@isobelmackellaig703 there was music? I honestly did not notice that.
Too bad he couldn't have painted you. You posses a timeless beauty

Yes please!
When i hears Leonardo Davinci i got goosebumps and I am amazed of his inventions and his creativity of arts and all
I've read a bit about da Vinci, but had absolutely no idea he pioneered so much in so many different fields. People tend to downplay the notebooks, saying a lot of his technical ideas were interesting but inaccurate or not workable in practice. I'm astonished at how much *was* workable, or would have been with more advanced technology. The advanced anatomical stuff, the map-drawing, the study of flight, the architectural visions, and on and on...the mind boggles.
Leaving projects unfinished would be my only similarity with this great man.
Great video and narration!
I listened to the entire documentary in the background. I learned stuff I never knew before. ESPECIALLY about the Mona Lisa. Great production! Great video!
i did not know i would finish this documentary. Thank you for giving enormous effort to this informative documentary.
an now u do
Leonardo da Vinci >>> Just hearing his melodious name inspires Elegance & Refinement in the Science & Arts! Thank You So Much for this Well Researched & Presented Biography! 🌷🌿🌍💖🇮🇹

An absolutely fascinating and top quality piece, thank you for producing this.
Thank you so much for watching, and I'm very happy you enjoyed it!
Your welcome 😃
He had at least 20 types of talents.he is considered at least 50 in all categories mentioned! That’s what makes him greatest minds ever.
Amazing. I’m honored to be born exactly 538 years after Machiavelli’s birth and exactly 1 day and 488 years after da Vinci’s death. These two are making me want to learn Italian!
Be Italian, you'll be happy!😉😀🇺🇲🇮🇹
I sometimes try to imagine what it would be like to spend time with this incredible man.
Most likely boring as hell 😂😂😃
How can a human being be so genius? Amazing brain.
One of the best documentary of Leonardo Da Vinci 🙏🏻❤️❤️Research ,editing, bgm ,voice everything is just amazing. I was forget my existence while watching this video. Outstanding work sir 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
There's a reason the term "Renaissance Man" was coined. An excellent and informative video, many thanks for producing it.
He is the ultimate symbol of a human being's unlimited potential for creativity.
It s strange to talk to entities like You that existed 4mounths ago...pharaoh n akhnaton are personalities(ideal) with a Symbolic Social ranking defined by the kerk the church _it has nothing to see with Pa(Happy fathers day anyway if it s your concern)but if you consider that this issue is mindbuggling(it is) we can reconsider the Napoleon Codes with the modern egyptologues +those who don t smoke too much Hash+for the rest it s useless to argue :they are gone
A mastermind of a person. Goosebumps is what i get with Da Vinci. Awesome Video. 👌
Thanks for watching!
A genius way ahead of his time...one of the most gifted.
What a masterpiece. A mermerizing production that have well honored a mesmerizing human being
Thank you so much for watching! Is there another person from history you'd like to see a video on?
This is a brilliant presentation of a man who may have no equal in his time or in our time.
No equal in which neither you are I have knowledge of. Does that make it so?
@Real Aiglon that’s surly correct answer honey🥰😍😜🥳😘😘😘🌹🌞
That's the reason why Leonardo Da Venci is one of the most popular geniuses ever!
See now that’s so beautiful how his uncle saw how his mind couldn’t stay on focus so he sent him out to attract attention by other things and helped his creative process mindset with that of more, not staying trapped inside and boxed in. This is how so many more could be able to explore so much more. Just that one seeing them in a better light and more they can be, not limited to what others think that we all should be. Thank you for this video and encouragement of more in my own ways of becoming able to express myself in ways I’ve never heard or been guided.
Leonardo da Vinci remains a mysterious genius. We will never know everything about him. He will remain an enigma.
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
Read Serge Bramly and Tony Buzan.
How do U know that? He may left a book or something after himself go 2 rest and those notes are still 2be found one day with all of his secrets 😙😗🧐😛😜
Leonardo was a typical creative person - many of his projects remained unfinished, abandoned when he reached a point where he lost interest. The creative process being more important than the end result.
Interesting! I can relate as I often have multiple projects in the works. Sometimes having to force myself to finish them.
Like my albums ouch.When I heard he had a hard time focusing as a child I thought damn he had ADHD.Now rebranded as VAST..Variable attention span trait..more apt because we can hyperfocus if we are interested .but if bored can't finish a sentence.
He was ADHD to a tea. One of his manuscripts was on the verge of a monumental mathematics breakthrough. Acknowledged and wrote too bad my tea is getting cold. ADHD asss fuuuuuuck
He reminds me of
@@geraldfriend256 all these stupid labels for people who don't fit exactly into the mould...it irritates me so much. Almost everything is a spectrum. Including focus and interest. Stop labelling us with stupid acronyms.
(this is a general rant, not directed at you by the way)
Such a gifted man who wasn't afraid to try everything, his successes are clearly outstanding. This video was beautifully put together, thank you
I'm left handed and in my formative school years I wrote in mirror form and right to left. I did it because it was natural and only started writing left to write through teachers influence. I can still write both ways and I guess it was the same for Leonardo - the natural way and the trained way.
History is like a puzzle, and this video helped me piece together some important events. Excellent job!
Plus he could wrote with both of his hands perfectly and also mirror writting... He is so perfect 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺❤
Great docu! Leonardo was also living in a very hard and somewhat cruel society. He certainly suffered from that as a man . A force of Nature in all aspects: mentally, intellectually and certainly physiologically.
A brilliant, though underrated video. The wonderful combination of beautiful storytelling and classical music, perfect for relaxing, driving or doing some daily routine. Thank you for putting out such a great content. You deserve a sub. Good luck on your future videos. :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video, thank you for enlighting us. I honestly didn't know all these about Leonardo da Vinci. I think he didn't know himself how much of a genius he was and how valuable his work was.
Truly one of the greatest minds in history.
THEE greatest mind.
Thank you for this engaging, informing and inspiring insight into the brilliant man - and mind - that was Leonardo da Vinci. It succinct yet comprehensive. And it has prompted me to consider my own need to be more curious and observant, and to ask more questions and seek more answers. Indeed, watching this has made my day and will surely fuel my aspirations for some time to come. I will surely return to view it again. And again. Thank you.
I have never finished a video without losing a single second of interest. I'm so grateful to live in the same world as all of these great minds like Leonardo, Sir Issac Newton, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and many more. Thank you for the this amazing video.
Thank you so much for watching!
@@PeopleWhoChangedtheWorld A heart and a reply. Made my day haha. Thank you!!
This is such a brilliant and well organized documentary. Loved it.
Leonardo was so lucky for having a supportive parents. Agreed on what he want to do and what he likes to do. Maybe im already a good artist and had an art studio if my parents was supportive as his parents.
It's also an easy bet that Leonardo, unlike you, made excuses for what he considered to be his lack.
I think that The Annunciation painting is the most beautiful painting I have ever seen in my entire life. It’s perfect in every way.
I get existential thinking about how such a great mind possessing that kind of genius could be limited to only one lifetime
You are right in thinking so. This was only one of his lives. He lived and died for the last 2000 years, starting with being the Man from Galilee to his last role on this planet as the Judge of mankind in our time.
My all time favorite historical figure thanks for the extra info on him enjoyed the video.
I am going to Florence and Milan for the first time in October and I cannot wait to see his works. I saw the Mona Lisa last year. Breathtaking. Amazing man.
What an experience! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching
I’m interested in Italian renaissance artists , furthermore Leonardo and Michelangelo are my faves . These two have always amazed me
Always fascinating even after 70 years in the art world.Thank you.
you've been painting for 70 years? holy shit how old are you
Thank you for making the Mona Lisa it was beautiful
Hi! I want to let you know that this is an amazing analysis on Leonardo and I love how you took extra minutes to elaborate on the key periods. Hope more videos are in the works :)
It’s really awesome
kind of spoiler alert ...
the fact that he bought birds at the markets and set them free and that he recognized that all animals have feelings exactly the same as we humans do makes me love him! (edit to add: I think the reason he didn't have a conflict to design weapons is because unlike other animals, humans aren't blameless and he probably was trying to help those who needed it to defend themselves) ... Thanks for this amazing video! I learned a lot. 💙
K
the best documentary by far on Leonardo ! thank you for this
Thank you so much!
A truly captivating history of a great man far ahead of his time well done
Thank you so much for watching
I see da Vinci's story as a testament to what happens when we remove barriers to creativity. How many people throughout history were born with gifts of this level, but they were peasants, field workers, or worse - women? How much raw talent was smothered because of humanity's horrendous misogyny and bigotry. Even with da Vinci, imagine if a Medici had not been caught up in his sodomy scandal - da Vinci may have wasted away in prison or been executed.
Even today, how many da Vincis are wasting their talents in dead-end, low paying jobs, struggling to pay rent while taking care of children or parents? No time to rest, much less quench their insatiable curiosity and creativity. It seemed like da Vinci struggled with ADHD and depression. Now he would be put on pharmaceuticals, numbed into compliance so he could keep grinding away at a purposeless existence.
The freedom to explore and express this level of creativity is a privilege still afforded only to a few, even today. In a just society, it would be available to everyone. Imagine how much we would all benefit if all the da Vincis in our day-to-day lives were allowed to invent and create to their fullest potential.
you're right. I don't know if you know the story of Artemisia Gentileschi she was a talented painter around the same time but was rejected by every studio in Florence because she was female. They made a movie about her I don't know if historically accurate or not.
@D Moll do you really believe this? sorry but I think you're delusional. There are millions of people who still live in systems that negate them even the basic rights and practically live in an imprisoned condition so they can't express their talent. And remember that the history books were written by people and many times those people did write what they wanted depending on their condition sex culture affiliations or what the person they served wanted. In recent years historians have changes their views on so many things they discovered that roman emperors like Catilina and Nero weren't the monsters they were depicted to be in the ancient texts for instance they discovered that ancient Egypt had more than one female pharaon (and how many people do you think know this?) and I could go on and this is because history has been manipulated for millenia. So you can be cancelled from history if someone with power wanted and the same people or oppressive cultures can prevent you from doing anything meaningful in your life.
Even with the finest schooling you will never see it again Justin.. because the work is done, the low hanging fruit is gone and we learn more in a classroom setting than he did in his entire life. He would spend months puzzling over something we take for granted in knowing. Practicing that deep critical thinking and curiosity for a lifetime is what sets him apart. We simply do not need it and it's why despite our huge population, there will never be another genius of this level while we have access to instant information. What we practice is the opposite of creativity and curiosity... rote memorization of those who have come before us. The geniuses of today are just those who have the capacity to remember the most, and they will ultimately contribute nothing new.
@D Moll Complete and utter nonsense. The oppression of religion and the rich/powerful are still felt today holding back many especially in the global south which is plundered by the global north mercielessly.
@@mikebaugus4859 Wrong. Critial thinking and open mindednes are crucial to science and GOOD schools/teachers make sure that their students learn this. Yes a FOUNDATION has to be layed as we do not want our children to reinvent the wheel over and over. Geniuses will continue to contribute to society just like the average person which are the foundation of any society, your garbage collectors, sewage workers, farmers, nurses, teachers, etc.
It is amazing that one man can do all this greatness
There are many insanely amazing people throughout time. But none, really none ever so diverse and game changing in every discipline.
Thank you, this is the greatest episode I ever watched.
