Notes by Leonardo da Vinci

Notes by Leonardo da Vinci on the flow of water. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), an Italian artist, sculptor, architect and musician, was also famous for his notes on a wide range of problems in medicine, science and engineering. His notes (seen at lower left) were written in a reversed script from right to left, requiring a mirror to read it. The diagrams show swirling geometrical patterns formed by water flowing past a stationary object. His notes compare these patterns with those seen in braided hair

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, a true Renaissance man. Known primarily for his artistic masterpieces, da Vinci's brilliance extended far beyond the realm of art. His extensive notes on medicine, science, and engineering have left an indelible mark on history. In this particular image, we are granted a glimpse into da Vinci's meticulous observations on the flow of water. The notes themselves are written in his characteristic reversed script from right to left, requiring a mirror to decipher their contents. It is through these writings that he compares the swirling geometrical patterns formed by water passing by a stationary object with those found in braided hair. The intricate diagrams accompanying his words offer insight into fluid dynamics and demonstrate da Vinci's keen eye for detail. This snapshot from the 16th century transports us back in time to witness the intellectual pursuits of one of humanity's greatest minds. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that da Vinci was not only an artist but also a scientist and researcher ahead of his time. His thirst for knowledge knew no bounds as he explored various fields with unwavering curiosity. This print serves as a testament to Leonardo da Vinci's enduring legacy and reminds us all of the power inherent in combining creativity with scientific inquiry.
