When the Renaissance replaced the Middle Ages in Italy, it dissolved the hitherto valid worldviews. The human began to think deeply about himself and placed himself in a central position. If thinking seems self-evident today, it was reserved for only a few in the 15th century. Da Vinci exploited the new way of looking at the world in a unique way and evolved into a universal genius. He became the man who brought together everything that called for the Renaissance. Leonardo boldly claimed that the earth was older than the church. He dreamed about flying and followed the flight of the birds. Finally Leonardo combined his powers of observation with his knowledge and an extraordinary mind.
Leonardo da Vinci was an artist who represented the Renaissance spirit like no other. As a painter, da Vinci convinces through his sculptural elaborations of the human body and the use of a canvas as a space. Thinking, seeing and feeling entered into Leonardo's painting, skills that painters of his time did not possess to this extent. Delicate transitions of light and shadow create a view into the depths and lead the viewer through landscapes. Skillfully the artist plays with warm and cold colors. The knowledge of color effect and the generation of perspective testifies to a great scientific understanding and the talent to implement them figuratively.
The name da Vinci is in addition to the sketches on anatomy closely linked to the portrait of Mona Lisa. Especially the smile of the woman remains in the viewer's memory. The artists of the Renaissance had set themselves a high goal. Painting the inspired portrait. It should succeed to paint a person who radiates life. Da Vinci has succeeded with his Lisa. Scientists still puzzle over who Lisa was. It is not clear how long Leonardo worked on the work. Some say that he traveled with the painting and painted the woman according to his personal ideal of beauty. Maybe she looks too masculine for today's terms. But the painting enchants the viewer with its smiling lips and expressive eyes.
