EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of history, showcasing the invaluable knowledge and artistic brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci. The image depicts a page from Codex B (2173), c. 70r, housed at the prestigious Institut de France. This particular writing by da Vinci focuses on "Suggestions on how to construct a bastion at night" offering insights into military and defensive structures during the High Renaissance period. The photograph beautifully showcases da Vinci's intricate drawings, which exhibit his mastery in various styles such as High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and European art forms from the First and Second Millennium A. D. The artwork itself dates back to approximately 1470-1519. Leonardo da Vinci was not only renowned for his exceptional paintings like the Mona Lisa but also for his expertise in architecture and engineering. This drawing exemplifies his multifaceted genius as it encompasses elements of structure, machines, and objects related to military fortifications. The composition is visually striking with its meticulous details that bring forth an understanding of both form and function. Da Vinci's ability to merge creativity with practicality is evident in this artwork.
