You may not understand Western oil painting,
But you can't not have heard of him,
He was —Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo da Vinci's multiple identities should be well known,

It is not in religion,
It's in science.

Unbelievable!
This sentence comes from the mouth of the painter,
Also a religious painter
Now it seems to us that
Art and science are two completely different disciplines,
What kind of experience did Leonardo da Vinci have?
Let him combine art and science in one.
It starts with his childhood...
When Leonardo da Vinci was a child,
He started painting eggs...
Cough.... When Leonardo da Vinci was a child,
He developed a deep interest in nature,
In his mind science and art are the only way to understand nature.
He often wondered why the sky was blue,
Why is the grass green,
Why are the flowers red.
On the matter of why the sky is blue,
He didn't put much effort into it.
In order to get closer to the sky,
He ascended the Alps between Italy and Switzerland,
Go and observe the sky,
He described what he saw,
Find that the higher the altitude, the bluer the sky,

Leonardo da Vinci's research on the sky is not limited to this,
He began to wonder why birds could fly in the sky.
And a lot of sketches and manuscripts were drawn.

Leonardo da Vinci is the best painter among scientists,
Proper slash youth,
It's a crossover genius today!

Religion, in turn, limits the progress of science and technology to a certain extent

Okay, that's it for today.
