EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "Notes on optics and perspective" written by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci. Part of the Arundel Codex 263, this particular page is known as c. 84v and is currently housed in the prestigious British Museum of London. Leonardo da Vinci, widely regarded as one of the greatest minds in human history, left an indelible mark on various fields including art, science, and engineering. This artwork dates back to the High Renaissance period between 1478-1518 AD when da Vinci's genius was at its peak. The photograph itself was taken in 2001, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The image allows us to delve into Leonardo's world as we witness his meticulous notes on optics and perspective come alive before our eyes. As we examine this print closely, we are reminded of how writing instruments were crucial tools for communication during that era. Da Vinci's mastery over drawing and graphics shines through his precise strokes and annotations found within these pages. The fusion of High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles evident in this work reflects Europe's artistic evolution during the first two millennia AD. It serves as a testament to Leonardo da Vinci's enduring influence across centuries. This print not only offers a glimpse into one man's brilliance but also invites us to appreciate the rich tapestry of human creativity throughout history. As we admire this masterpiece captured by Alinari without commercial intent or mention thereof, let us celebrate both Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary legacy and humanity’s unending quest for knowledge and expression through art.
