Saru Posted May 1, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (IP: Staff) · Da Vinci made thousands of pages of notes and drawings on the human body during his lifetime. The largest exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of the human body goes on display in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace this week. http://www.bbc.co.uk...gazine-17907305 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted May 1, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2012 One of the darker moments of his life I would imagine. Where, under the cover of night, he was doing autopsies. Paying for dead bodies,e tc. Crazy when you think of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah_444 Posted May 1, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Da Vinci wanted to better understand the human body and how it worked, but was also searching for the source of the soul while performing autopsies, something not too many people are aware of. A brilliant, questioning mind for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted May 1, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You are lucky to have such a show come to your country. I would love to see to that one. Shows like that are once in a life time. I wonder if it will come to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted May 1, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I, too, wish this show would come to the USA...preferably to Boston (just because it's close to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules99 Posted May 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2012 A job best done when sufferring from a heavy head cold and a blocked up nose. He achieved his drawings at a time where he may have been put to death had he been found out. What an amazingly talented man, a lantern in the darkness.

F3SS Posted May 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The greatest of all the old masters. Hell, the greatest artist/visionary ever. Period. Would love to see his work in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfishyeah Posted May 3, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The world's greatest artist and inventor. Did you guys know that he created designs for a helicopter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryso Posted May 4, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 4, 2012 And considering at the time, human dissection was forbidden. One of the reason for his famous mirror writing, in case he's papers and drawings were found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
